Re: is it hard to be dealer?
After working for a month now at the local Indian Casino I can tell you the following
1. Some people who had never played poker, probably couldn't spell it.. (seriously) were hired after an 80 hour school, they are slow and not accurate at all.. push pots to the wrong players, fail to take the rake.. etc etc... but they are working..
2. It's great fun.. I am loving my job.. but not this week.. Why?? I showed up three days this week and we had 20 plus dealers on the schedule.. We have 12 tables.. and only 5-6 were open.. so I e/o 'ed and left.. NO tokes, NO hourly... Scheduling is nutz
3. I love my players.. I enjoy dealing to them and getting to know them..It tickles me to death to have them talk to me and compliment me outside the card room...
In short.. yeah any lump can deal.. but it takes work to make money at it... I have been averaging about 90 bucks a shift in tips.. others are around 40 a night... you would think they would leave?? but no... they are still there and the players complain but they are still there...
Loving my job..
