How do you deal, physically? (1 Viewer)

[APatHand]

Last night someone pointed out that I am right handed and deal with my left. This made me wonder about the rest of the dealing population.
So: Please pick the selection which best reflects how you distribute cards.

I’m left handed, hold the deck in my left, and pitch with my right.

Throwing is one of the few things I do right-handed though. Perhaps that’s why. I’m sure I could do it either way.

If somebody responds "I have no hands", that is going to call their whole PCF history into question.

I'm the same. I'm right handed and deal with my left hand. I also didn't notice this until someone pointed it out to me.

How I Deal;

Physically- Right handed, deck in the left, pitch with my right.

Emotionally- Alcohol.

Shit, from the title I thought you meant life in general.

My dad and uncle do the same as you... right handed, but deal with left... very odd... to me at least.

There is a woman that plays 2/4limit frequently at Silver Seven's who has (real) finger nails approaching 9-10 inches by my best estimate. Watching this lady fumble with chips and checking hole cards is the most infuriating yet interesting thing that I have ever witnessed at a poker table...

With that in mind, I think "Unable to handle a deck of cards" should be an option.

I'm the same - right-handed but deal with the left. I also throw a frisbee left-handed. My theory for this is that, having grown up playing sports, it is very ingrained for me, when throwing, to drive with the right leg, rotate the torso right-to-left, and step with the left leg. The most natural way to throw a frisbee is backhanded, or across the body, so throwing left handed maintains that very natural step-with-the-left, drive-with-the-right motion. My left-handed frisbee flick carried over to the motion I use for dealing cards.

Same here, interesting that more lefties pitch with the right than the left.

I almost had a single choice called "I'm ambidextrous, bitches!", but opted for the ambi-right and ambi-left choices shown.

Interesting Question.
I'm right handed and as Dealer I only use the right hand for dealing cards but for handling chips I only use my left hand. No idea why.

 

[T_Chan]

I hold the deck in the left and deal with the right hand. I can't pitch cards well enough with my off hand. With enough practice I might be able to.
