The Dealers in Brighton

[tikay]

I've sort of fallen on my feet since I started dealing d/c games. I'm the least experienced of those of us in our crew that deal it, but I haven't really found it to be as gut wrenchingly difficult as I expected it was going to be.

And, to be honest, if I can deal OH hi-low split then anybody can.


And yes, Richard, a rank plc share save scheme. One well worth the investment!

Last night was the first time i have had you deal to me in the dealers game and i think you did a great job. I was suprised to hear you have only been dealing it for 2 days as i assumed it was a lot longer as you did a great job.  keep it up  well done

Thanks. Not so smooth tonight, though. Still. Could have been far worse.

You did just grand. I know you were getting gip from one individual, but you must do things the way you are trained, & instructed, & ignore player comments as to how & when you should or should not sort out the chips. You are in charge of the Table, & not them.

More of the same, show authority, & they will respect you.

Any player with an ounce of dignity would surely act in a gentlemanly/Ladylike way and therefore make the dealers job that much easier which would then add to the enjoyment of ALL.

Or do these players that feel the need to act like complete jerks (maybe it's not an act) think it is humorous and clever to try an belittle others?

I have seen this so many times when a "newbie" dealer is bought to a table, some people go out of their way to make them feel as uncomfortable as possible - it seems I am always doing the opposite, trying to make them "feel" relaxed so as not to make too many mistakes

THE worse thing you can do to a nervous dealer is badger them on every little mistake they make - it will then lead to more mistakes.

I have however had a quiet word with a TD when a dealer is just not up to scratch to have them moved from the table, but this is just as much for their benefit as to the players at the table - especially if the table has a couple of players on that I KNOW will hassle an inexperienced dealer.
