You are king of the game. You are in control. You can control the speed, the mood, and the overall feeling of any table. There are some exceptions to this rule, but in the majority of poker games, you, the dealer, should take control of your game. After time, you will learn to watch the players and you will get a feel for the mood of a game and what the players in that game expect from you. You will know naturally when it is time to speak-up or shut-up. This feeling and the ability to know what to do in these circumstances will come from experience and depend on your confidence. The more confident you are in dealing any game the more willing professional players are to listen to you and allow you to control that game. Announce every action to your table. Call your players by name. Pay attention! Tell your players what they need to do. Pick up the pace and do it with a smile. Your players will respect you more, the game will go faster, and you will make more money.&lt;br /&gt;Check out &lt;a href="http://www.yuwie.com/pokerdealertips"&gt;Yuwie.com/PokerDealertips&lt;/a&gt; for more tips.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7081202292419207914-4618617083192552297?l=pokerdealertips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerdealertips.blogspot.com/feeds/4618617083192552297/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7081202292419207914&amp;postID=4618617083192552297' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7081202292419207914/posts/default/4618617083192552297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7081202292419207914/posts/default/4618617083192552297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerdealertips.blogspot.com/2008/01/poker-dealer-tip-2-own-your-table.html' title='Poker Dealer Tip #2   Own Your Table'/><author><name>AAdealer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15244189342619708628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09247275676540988518'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7081202292419207914.post-8139971292586345667</id><published>2008-01-17T20:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-17T20:55:05.418-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='make more money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dealer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tokes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dealers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poker dealers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cash'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poker dealer tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earn money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earn more money'/><title type='text'>Poker Dealer Tip #1: Say Hello</title><content type='html'>One of the most basic rules of dealing poker is also one of the most forgotten rules: Always greet your players when you sit down to deal. You are being paid to entertain your guests. This does not mean tell jokes at the table, although occasional poker jokes and one-liners can be appropriate. This means that it is your job to keep the game friendly and moving at a pleasant pace. Players love to see a professional dealer sit down, greet them with a smile and quickly get the cards in the air. A happy dealer promotes a happy table. A happy table gambles more. More gambling means bigger pots, which means bigger tips for just setting the mood and saying "Hi!".&lt;br /&gt;Check out &lt;a href="http://www.yuwie.com/pokerdealertips"&gt;Yuwie.com/PokerDealerTips&lt;/a&gt; For more Tips!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7081202292419207914-8139971292586345667?l=pokerdealertips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerdealertips.blogspot.com/feeds/8139971292586345667/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7081202292419207914&amp;postID=8139971292586345667' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7081202292419207914/posts/default/8139971292586345667'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7081202292419207914/posts/default/8139971292586345667'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerdealertips.blogspot.com/2008/01/say-hello.html' title='Poker Dealer Tip #1: Say Hello'/><author><name>AAdealer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15244189342619708628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09247275676540988518'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
