Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 3380043, member: 23910"] Poker dealer right here. I enjoy it - though I work for a company that does private games / functions, not a normal casino, so the expectations on my work are different vs a casino dealer (they have to calculate rake and generally deal with tougher punters, while I'm expected to be more entertaining, and often need to teach people how to play from scratch). Mechanically once you've had a bit of practice, physically dealing the cards becomes second nature. I wind up dealing a lot of the home games I play in and don't even think twice about it. The one thing I will say is that you don't necessarily need to be a poker player to deal the game - you just need to be willing to learn the skills. Probably the best poker dealer I've ever met never played the game. And on the flipside I've met plenty of regular poker players who are terrible dealers. [/QUOTE]
