Lingo

[SamIAm]

In a few weeks, a buddy of mine is hosting a casino-night for charity. It'll be money-in prizes-out, so there doesn't have to be any rake; the donation comes from just buying chips.

My FIRST thought was that the blackjack game would have absolutely no heat, and I could spread my bets as much as I wanted. I bet I could even beat the house's advantage of moneyrizes ratio, if I can spread 1:50. Then that whole "conscience" thing got in the way, and I volunteered to deal his poker game, instead. (Sigh.)

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.
