meh.

here's how we do it.

one perma dealer (hold 'em tables are hard to deal from the ends, so one person is a dealer, and he sits in the middle).

dealer tosses the used deck to any random person to shuffle. once shuffled, they place the cut card on top, and give to dealer.

when ready to deal the next hand, the deck is placed on the table, as is the cut card, person to the right of the dealer takes top half, places on cut card, then dealer takes other half and places on top.

it's quick and easy, as long as someone trustworthy volunteers to deal for the duration.
