Learning to deal (1 Viewer)

Thanks for posting this. I've been thinking of learning how to deal better lately. This will save me from intently staring at the dealer in the casino. Which I actually did on Tuesday this week, but it didn't really help. But I'm sure I gave off a weird enough vibe. :)


Estimated practice time necessary to become smooth at it: 10 - 20 hours.

Hmmm... I feel obligated to check out these videos to critique them!

I'm not a big advocate of watching casino dealers - having trained a few and seen a lot of them, quality varies widely. You may pick up others' bad habits.

I've been known to tip a dealer just because they're being sharp and doing things properly... it causes momentary confusion when someone not in a pot tips... then gratitude from the dealer and acknowledgement/respect from the players.

Side note: I wholeheartedly approve of people wanting to improve their dealing skill. It's good for you, and good for your game. And if they don't cover it in the videos - learn to shuffle properly, too. Saves your cards and saves your hands.
 
They definitely cover shuffling, bank management, cheque handling, buy-ins and color outs, and other basics. New videos will include sidepots and other topics not yet covered.
