Default Re: situation from a local room, opinions wanted

Dallas is hurting for dealers right now because many of the good dealers are in Vegas dealing @ WSOP. I personally know six long time dealers from Dallas that are up here.

You should let the room management know you're not happy with her but there may not be a lot they can do until the WSOP is over and they get their dealers back...

Let the room management know that you understand they are short experienced dealers and encourage them to help her become a good dealer. Maybe try to do that yourself, don't have an adversarial relationship with her if you can avoid it. Be nice and chat her up a little away from the table. When at the table and she does a good job, tip her and comment specifically on why you're happy (ie. "You're really keeping the game moving along" or "Your pitch is improving, you aren't flipping those cards up as much" but be NICE and sincere in these comments.) When she messes up, don't tip her but don't glare or anything, just don't tip. Positive reenforcement works for dogs, maybe poker dealers too...
