Default Re: No hand shuffling at the \'B\'

Sigh... at this point how far are we from a machine that just spits out pre-dealt hands like a Caribbean Stud table, leaving the dealer only to hand them out?

One question I wonder if one of the dealers here can answer for me: Shuffling by hand less frequently is generally better for the long term health of your hands and joints, yes? The repetetive motion of riffling a deck a thousand times a day must get painful after a while.

Yes, yes, and yes.

I know a couple older dealers who have arthritis in their hands/wrists who can't really deal painfree anymore without the machine.

Too much beating off on breaks.

They should be riffled once when they come out of the machine, not before. Riffling them before is like washing your hands before you poop but not after.

Riffling them after is like washing your hands right after you washed your hands.
