Default Re: Complaining about the rake and getting told on by dealers......

All this pettiness probably has something to do with the fact that I'm extremely broke from not being able to find work, was playing with money I shouldn't have been playing with, and am probably overall unhappy about the position in life I'm in.

I'm probably not gonna be too popular here saying this, but isn't Vegas like the easiest place in the world to find a job....and aren't a great deal of those jobs better paying than dealing cards? And anyway, isn't poker dealing like one of the most competetive job openings there is, only to get much worse in the next few years?

I mean really, if like sucks so bad that its a strain to play $2-4 LHE, shouldn't you do anything it takes to make money....two jobs or whatever?

You are mistaken.

There are more minimum wage jobs per capita in this city than any other that I'm aware of. Yes, there are tips involved, and none of that is a guarantee. Btw, the joint I work at had 2 extra board jobs open, we had over 1000 applications, and about 100 auditions. Those dealers get 1-3 days a week depending on how often they're called in to deal. It's not the mecca of dealing jobs everyone thinks there is. The farthest applications actually came from a few Asian countries and England/Sweeden. Most from the US and from most states as well.
