Title: Learning to deal Post by: Dj Durban on April 28, 2006, 06:34:10 PM Hi everyone,
I am trying to learn how to deal properly and I was wondering if anyone has any tips about where to look to find advice. Something along the lines of the Dummies guide to dealing that would tell me about such things as what to do after a misdeal etc. If people could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful. Cheers Title: Re: Learning to deal Post by: bolt pp on April 28, 2006, 06:49:27 PM some people are naturaly good dealers,( i'm not)
if i could give you any advice it would be to take your time, not to worry about the players around you, and check to see if everyone is happy with the shuffle. if not just say:"your all crap anyway" and kick the table over knowing that you tried your best.

The physical bit of dealing (the shuffly- throwy cardy bit) can only come through tedious repetition, but you're probably just talking about being a Nice Firm Rule-maker and table-controller. Knowing the TDA rules can't hurt, and having worked as a dealer for a little while, I can say that just saying what the ruling should be in a firm "I know what I'm talking about" voice often stifles the need for a floorman to come and repeat what you just said. Rules like misdeal rules vary from cardroom to cardroom, but personally, if a card of the flop, say, is exposed before everyone has acted, I like the 'shuffle it back in to the stub of the deck, thereby keeping the possibility of the same card re-emerging' rule: burn +3rd card from bottom, for example, eliminates the possibility of the accidentally exposed card being dealt, and gives information that shouldn't have been there to begin with. This is a personal favourite one of mine, as it's clearly fairer to have an equal probability of the exposed card actually appearing on the flop... When dealers don't really know the rules off by heart, it's really a common sense call in almost every situation. Oops that turned into a bit of a rant, but best of luck in the dealing world, and if a player is just an argue-y type, just call the TD. Or if you're at a home game, tell them to be quiet or they'll get a 10 minute penalty and no jaffa cakes ;) Title: Re: Learning to deal Post by: Sark79 on April 28, 2006, 07:53:02 PM This probably doesn't relate to what you want. But it gives easy to follow card handling techniques, not to cheat with of course 8).

and keeping control ;) If you can master that, you're onto a winner |
