Last night I started a part time job. Longtime readers will know that this has been difficult for me

Sounds like a magnificent evening and fun job!

Sounds like a fun time, and that's one heck of a menu!

what a cool job-!

yeah, if the chips are actually worth money, don't be giving them away. but you sound like you have the makings of an excellent dealer- kind, attentive, sympathetic, fun, clever, funny... the best kind of dealer.

it sounds like something you enjoy.

you know what they say... lay 'em down, smackum yackum!!!

yeah it's all "casino money" or whatever -- they play for raffle tickets, or to be the top winer to get an iPhone or what have you. These are usually corporate parties where the host gives them 20k to start with.

Thank you!

Anyway, since you are, as I understand it, some what a habitue of casinos, I'd love to know what some more of those "dealer's one=liners" are.

CONGRATS! You sound like exactly the kind of dealer I look for when I'm playing blackjack. I hope you're having as much fun as it sounds like!

[anamacha]

hah! Thanks! You look for the kind of dealer that doesn't know what he's doing? LOL

No, really. What makes you say I'm the sort of dealer you look for?

[wherdafux_d_cat]

I look for dealers who are relaxed and seem to be having a good time (or at least are pretending to have fun). Makes me nuts to have a dealer who checks her watch every five minutes to see if it's time for her to leave yet. I also dislike having dealers who deal ultrafast, slapping down hits before the players really have had time to signal. Dude, it's my hand, let ME fuck it up, 'kay? And I love a dealer who is helpful, who suggests splitting hands or doubling down when a player seems to have forgotten or isn't aware of the option. It shows me they're there to help the players have a good day. Which only makes sense 'cause if the players have good days, the dealers usually have good days too. Happy people, especially happy, winning people, usually tip more!

good points all! I guess I'm still very new to this, so ...
