Meh, I think Vegas dealers are better on balance than NorCal dealers.

WORST: Some old lady at the Wynn who looks like a bird. Short hair - too much make-up - probably a former hooker, etc...

i like leslie at the bellagio. agree that joe is great. sky scares me a bit. almost too intense, like his dad made him do pushups as a kid or something.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah I remember sweating when Tongni was playing some fish HU 400/800 and Sky was in the box. By the end of his down I thought he was going to need smelling salts and an IV he was so intense and pushing out tons of hands.

Another guy I like at Bellagio I can't remember his name but young white kid with glasses who looks a bit like Clay Aiken and I always find dealing my 1/2 games overnight.

When did they start spreading 1/2 at the Bellagio? Or are you referring to 100/200? I think I know the dealer you're speaking of but I cannot remember his name either.

Um... Death Donkey's game starts at 60/120 and goes pretty far north from there. High limit players call 100/200 1/2, 400/800 is called 4/8 - etc.

Understood. Threw me off a bit there, but I had no clue what his normal game was.

How the heck do you smell a dealer's breath all the way from your seat?

David at Red Rock (who used to deal at Monte Carlo for years) is GREAT! So is Gina (Red Rock also) who used to deal at MGM and Texas Station before that.


[/ QUOTE ]

Gina was my favorite dealer at MGM when i vacationed.... Great personality, keeps the game moving, but even more fun to play with...

Have not seen her deal/play with her at the Red Rock because it's quite a drive from where I live...

Sky is unreal. Our table joked about how he puts away his dishes in the kitchen cabinet after they come out of his dishwasher. Imagine that visual.

How many dealers out of ten in your favorite room take the five whites out of the rack before they put the redbird into the rack? In the blackjack pit it's "money in, money out." Violate this twice and see if you still have a job. But in the poker rooms it's so commonplace you'd wonder if it was even a rule at all. (BTW, I would fail you for an audition if you did not follow the money in, money out rule).

[/ QUOTE ]

The poker room is not the pit. In the past there were problems with the casino moving the chips from the pot to the rack. If I saw a dealer put the red chip in the rack before putting 5 white in the pot, I would tell him I don't want it done that way. I want the 5 white to come out of the dealer's rack, then I want the red chip removed from the pot, and then I want the 5 white chips pushed into the pot so everyone can see the dealer didn't just steal $5 out of the pot.
