No schools really teach it up here from what I've heard. Not well anyways. Seems you need to find a dealer to show the the main points then go from there.

Or just ask dealers and floor people how to do it. They would know.

Actually, I've found three schools in the NW. Perhaps the next time you're in a room, float the ? to a dealer. The cost of poker school runs about $1000 for eight weeks.

I dealt blackjack at The Skagit for a short period before my divorce (on sabbatical - which directly lead to the divorce). Full time employees typically get health bennies and 401(K) or profit sharing. Sometime though, you have to be a dual rate to qualify for FT.

One of the dealers at Diamond Lil's mentioned yesterday that he runs a dealer school of some kind- not sure if it is just a side project or if it is a big commercial thing.

Unless they changed, which they may have, the school used to be primarily dealing pit games, then they'd spend maybe a day on poker.

Hopefully that's changed.

If you can find a dealer, you don't have to pay and go to the school as long as you pass your state test for your liscense. That may have changed also.
