First Day as Bally\'s Poker Dealer
Just completed my first day as a Bally's poker dealer...and I'm encourged of what I saw. Bally's poker room does not attempt to cater to the mid/high limit players. It's a low limit room looking to cater to the low rollers, looking for a well-runned poker room without any frills. But they are doing a couple of things to distinguish themselves from other poker rooms...mainly in the tournament field. Starting last week, they began to run tournaments from Tuesday-thursday, but it's not the typical NL Tournmanents: Check these out:
Tues (10AM) No Limit Pineapple ($55 buy in -- 1000 chips) Weds (10AM) No Limit Crazy Pineapple ($55 Buy In -- 1000 Chips) Thursday (11AM) No Limit Shootout ($77 buy in -- 1000 Chips) Without advertising yet, they were able to get 3 tables for these tournaments, that's very encourging...so if you need a break from NL Hold Em...come over to Bally's and try some of our unique poker tournaments.. I know I'm shilling for Ballys Poker Room, but since I'm an employee, I guess I have too [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Interesting
Had you dealt before?
I've been wondering if a more "service-oriented" or at least more physically active career wouldn't suit me. Do dealers or floors make better money? And what's the career path? Maybe I should ask all this on the Psychology forum; they seem to specialize in career issues.

HTe market place has changed for poker dealers. Also when I went there Dan Paymar was the instructor. I don't know thier curretn poker instructor but it is still a bargain compared to the schools in LA.
