I live in Las Vegas and have met many poker dealers.

Not all, but many are good players. A lot of them prefer not to play however. They spend so much time sitting at a poker table that they don't want to do it on their time off.

You're going to learn a lot when dealing but not enough to win. You'll mostly recognize times when someone makes a mistake. Dealers witness mistakes all day long. So that's an advantage.

If you're really thinking about being a dealer, it's a good idea to practice at some home games with your friends. Just deal the entire time and move the button around. You'll go through the motions and learn the basics.

The more complicated aspects (Usually split pots) will be learned one way or another. It can get a little tricky when you have multiple split pots, but if the largest bet comes from the player with the winning hand, he takes everything....so there's no need to split it up. When the smallest shove wins, he only takes his portion. Then the remaining pot goes to the next strongest hand which is sometimes the next smallest shove....so he gets his portion only and so on and so forth.

I've seen a lot of quibbling over split pots. If you know how to deal with it, it's no problem.
