Re: Hands per down
I had a dealer at the Gold Strike in Tunica, MS who could consistently deal 20-22+ hands per down in a donkey $3/6 game. He was NOT rushing the game, he was just very efficient and still had time for some small chit chat. Who knows how many hands he'd get per down if he was dealing a game where people didn't have to ask "how much is it to me?" "how much can I bet?" every single time the action was on them.
Oh BTW, I know how many hands he dealt because I counted. I often count how many hands I see per down by taking a chip off my stack and setting is aside for every hand I'm dealt. By the end of the down, I count the chips and know exactly how many hands the dealer dealt. Shufflemasters are good for about 5 more hands per hour according to my counts.
