Thank the Lord for RR.

I'm not even gonna waste my time touching the crux of this topic, but just wanted to bold some stuff RR wrote for future reference for everyone, complainers and non.

Just don't complain when the dealers aren't so good anymore.

if players (in general) want good dealers they have to be willing to pay them enough for them to forgo their other opportunities.

Couple other notes on random things I saw while skimming:

- Bellagio dealers are hired to deal all games in the room, from 2/5NL to tournament tables to having to suffer with a prickly Sammy Farha or Johnny Chan at Table 1 in Bobby's Room to doing the 300/600 Mix and 100/200 LHE upstairs. This was in reference to dealer rotations and someone asking if there were set rotations for the "good" dealers in the bigger places. AFAIK, some California rooms do separate the dealers into specific rotations.

- I am a poker dealer, and though I'm not a Harvard grad or have a law degree, I used to work extensively in IT (and not as some help desk jockey) for 5+ years before taking up the career change. The only servers I ever wanna screw around with anymore in my life are the ones serving cocktails. I'll stick to getting annoyed that Windows is trying to install an useless update on my laptop while I'm in the middle of a World of Warcrack raid.
