Default Re: Dealers @ The Big Game

[ QUOTE ]
if the casino made all their games rake games and paid the dealers' salaries based on how many hands per hour they deal wed have good dealers and the house would weed out the bad ones as having dealers who deal less hands means less rake for them.

In the old days (long before my time) poker dealers would be on the same game all night (except breaks). The manager woudl tell him him "I want this game to drop $1500 tonight), if he foudn a way to make it drop $2k instead he would get a big chunk of the "extra" $500. Do you want dealers with an incentive to get more rake out of a game? The way things are right now the games are pretty honest, but we aren't that far removed from snatch games.
