Here's my question: Is there a good resource for dealer protocol and lingo? I've read Robert's Rules already, and but I'm looking for more of a dealer-handbook. I want the rules on what you say when the punter buys $30 in chips using a $50. I want the rules on pushing cards forward slightly to show the winning hand. Ya know, useless dealer-coolness.

I actually will use a lot of these "skills" in our normal poker-night, too. I often end-up dealing for the night, especially if there are too many people to pass the deck around. I'm good at dealing the flop in one smooth motion, but any extra professionalism would be great.

Thanks.

Great question Sam. This reply is a "me too" reply. I'd like tips on dealing the cards mainly. Like techniques to pitch a card to a player at the end of the table without the card becoming a flyer saucer and sailing into the kitchen (or flipping over on the table, which is more common).
