FYP

You'll have a much better chance at getting any type of decent job with craps/bj or craps/roulette combo. Craps still number one in this town for good jobs though.

Strange pricing. Poker is 80 hours over 4 weeks for $799. BJ is 80 hours over 4 weeks for $299. Roulette is 100 hours over 6 weeks for $299. And craps is 120 hours over 6 weeks for $349.

Roulette and craps look like a bargain at $3/hr while poker is $10/hr.

Well, I can do other things until that opportunity becomes available, just figured going to school wouldn't hurt things. One or two days a week even wouldn't be that bad for now.

When I first took BJ school in upstate Ny. It was 5 hours a night, 4 nights/wk. 8 week class. After 4 weeks, we did auditions with the instructors (2 of them) and only 5 of us out of 40 were of quality to pass. I was one of them and that's how I was the third out of 35 who passed to get hired. This had to be hands down the best schooling I've ever been to for dealers. They made sure it was done right or they kept working with you. Not this BS these schools do now where everyone plays all day long and learns nothing. If you weren't there to learn, leave. But the instructors were also Pit managers so they had a vested interest in this class because we were potentially THEIR dealers. Even more incentive for them to make sure it was done right. $500 was the cost and the best money I've ever spent for school.

Never paid a dime since for any game I've learned. Roulette, Baccarat (big/mini/midi), Pai Gow, Poker, ect...

Once you get the fundementals down, the rest comes quite easy. Some people have an aptitude for this business and others have NO business ever picking up a deck of cards. That becomes aparent within a few weeks of being on the job.

I can go to break in joints here in town, chat with the new dealers and can tell who wants to learn, who has potentially good hands, and who is just there to be there. The ones who have potential are the ones I ALWAYS encourage when they deal to me, whether it's poker, dice, bj, ect.. Good dealers are getting harder to find and the ones who want to learn will learn even faster if they believe they are getting better.
