Look Mom, I\'m a poker dealer!!
For those who come to Vegas (whether visiting or any locals), I just got a job as a poker dealer at Ballys Casino. I'm very excited about it. I just graduated from Poker dealing school and after only one audition I was hired 15 mins later (yes, I'm tooting my own horn). My first day is tommorrow. I don't think I'll be dealing for the first couple of weeks as I'll be in training and probably be a brush. But it's going to be exciting when I get into a dealer rotation and run a game...Haven't been this excited about a job since my first job as a BusBoy when I was 16.

Hey do us a favour and follow up on this, would you? I'm not considering being a dealer or anything but I'd really like to hear how it goes. I'm sure there would be some neat stories.

I don't mean to get personal, but how much do poker dealers make?
What school did you go to? congrats! |

I went to the Casino Gaming School: www.learn2deal.com
Haven't been on a dealing rotation yet, but talking to other dealers, you could make around 150-300 a night depending on what type of customers you get... |

Right on!
Just remember not to crawl under the table the first time you burn and turn too early and cost a guy a pot. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] b |

Ha,
I'm looking forward to the day when a player berates me for giving him the river card that costs him a $100 pot. |

Re: Look Mom, I\'m a poker dealer!!
how come most dealers always looked more depressed than the losing players at the table? I don't really think it's a long term typa job.. it might be good money to start - but it'll take it's toll.. not the kinda job u wanna be raising a family on - anyone agree?
