Which poker game is hardest to deal?

This was not the LA version of the game because at that time CP was dealt in the asian section od the Bike rather than the poker section.

The Asian games version, Kondition, is the nuts. Anyone who plays CP Vegas/Poker Room style is not a man [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Don't try to get fancy, just tip $1 for every pot you win. Done.

I do get fancy and take into account how long it takes the dealer to get out hands. I want them to want to deal the odd games, rather than dread it, so they're helping start the games and encouraging people to play them. It's hard enough to get a mix game going now without having the dealers working against it.

So yes, I do toke more for Omaha8, TD, Badugi... things that they get 10 hands per hour from rather than 30. But I'm not playing 3/6 and 4/8 mix games to make a living.

This entire thread begins and ends with pot limit games. All it took was one guy to say pot limit and 15 guys to say "yup" and the thread would have been over [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Split pot games are much easier to deal (and the hero will generally earn nothing except a donation to the rake in the hand is heads up)

So, pot-limit omaha high-low if you can get a casino to deal it, then.

I wouldn't tip for EACH pot I win, say if you raise preflop and everyone folds, you tip that too? say you're playing 1/2 nl. u raise and everyone folds, u win 3 dollars, and tip 1 off, you only have 2 left. I usually tip when I win pots after the flop. I wouldn't tip any preflop winnings.

Ah, the subject with two different angles.

Speaking from the box, pot limit is by far the hardest simply due to constantly needing to do the math.

Short-handed PLO (2-4 players) usually isn't too bad because you usually get HU right away and the math there is easy. Whereas with 5+ it can become a chore, especially when you get say a pot, a call, and then a re-pot... not fun.

Chinese poker is the physically hardest to deal.

[/ QUOTE ]

your joking I assume? Chinese Poker is the easiest to deal because the contract is between players, the house has no action other than to deal four 13 card hands and collect rake.

I believe he was talking about the fact that the dealer is pretty much constantly in motion. First you deal out the entire deck, and as soon as you get the cards into the hands of the players you shuffling and dealing the other deck. So while there is no "mental" work there is more physical work.

[/ QUOTE ]

Constantly in motion? CP hands take 3 minutes at the very minimum to complete, I've played some CP hands that are 5-8 mins each or more, its a slow game. It looks like a very boring gig for a dealer to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've seen dealers deal two games at one table, four decks, hand shuffle, the next hands dealt and waiting, and flirting with the cocktail waitress waiting for the players to finish...

Pot limit seven card stud hi low must be a real pain in the ass to deal sometimes.

I saw one mention of mixed games in here. I would think and say from experience that these are harder games to deal i.e. HORSE, HOE, HOS, etc. Because the game changes every rotation so the dealers are sometimes dealing hold em when it should be stud or vice versa. Then the are corrected and the game goes on. But I think the mixed games have to be pretty hard to deal. Just my 0.02
