Re: \"CHATTY PLAYERS\" --STOP INITIATING CHAT WITH DEALER
As long as the dealer is sharp and not making mistakes AND your not playing at a time charge table, there is no reason why the dealer cannot be chatty.
Some dealers can be quite amusing. And I find a lot of players while winning like to chat with the dealer UNTIL they start losing and then it's SHUT UP DEALER !!!! |

Why not talk with the dealer? So long as you're not being a dick, what's the problem?

[/ QUOTE ] My experience is that most dealers start making mistakes when they talk, and that the bad dealers are more likely to engage in conversation. I have on more than one occasion seen 20-40 players start chatting up obviously green dealers with questions like, "When did you start working here?" "What did you do before?" It puts the dealer in a bad position and absolutely kills the game. |

Re:OP --STOP BEING A NIT
Of course players should know when it is appropriate to talk to a dealer and which dealer it is appropriate to talk to -- but talking to dealers is no problem and often keeps the game friendly and loose. There are competent dealers that can talk and deal at the same time and their are incompetent dealers that will never deal well.

[/ QUOTE ] QFT I'll always say hello to dealers that I see often...just common courtesy. I won't engage them in conversation except during breaks (either MTT breaks or if I catch them off a table), I just let them work. |

Re:OP --STOP BEING A NIT
I'll chat with the dealers too but never during the middle of a hand. The dealers also will know where the fish are & which table is juiciest, so it pays to be friendly.

[/ QUOTE ] For you information, the dealer is not supposed to talking-period. The dealer is behind the box to deal the cards, and speak to customers to the extent of running the game properly. I understand there are persons with private issues, who can't stop chatting. However, some of them are running it into the ground, chatting non-stop, with every dealer. The excessive chatting thing has nothing to do with "dealer experience". When an incident occurs and the dealer has to reconstruct the scenario for floor, any dealer who was chatting and trying to remember "what his brother-in-law said about the paint job on the---" is going to have a problem, because things occur so quickly in a poker game. |

Re: STOP INITIATING CHAT WITH DEALERS
I hope that the dealers on this site chime in. I have dealt casino parties, and yes, part of that job is to act freindly toward all of the costomers. I have seen dealers taht can talk all day and not make a mistake, and dealer very fast. I don't know about you, but if I was dealing for the past 5 years I would think that I could deal in my sleep.
You know also that George Bush passed the UIGA, right? If it wasn't for that, you wouldn't need to talk to anyone. |

Until then you will just have to live with the fact that your out of touch with society, dealers, and card room management policies. |
