Royal Flush Poker

If you happen to be playing poker in a casino, it is probably not even somthing you think about, but there are always going to be occasional dealers who aren’t fantastic at their job and make errors. Thankfully these sort of instances are very rare, such is the professionalism of most dealers, but imagine how tedious their job must be, sitting hour after hour dealing cards to players. It would be easy to have a momentary lapse of concentration you might think, but this hardly ever seems to happen.

As a player I feel this is my way of showing my appreciation for people who do this job, because if they did make a mistake, it could cost someone lots of money.

Imagine the possible ramifications of a mistake when dealing out the hole cards, you could have been dealt (A,K) or Aces but, due to an error the hand might have to be re dealt. This might mean you didn’t win all the chips of the guy next to you with (A,Q) that you would have if the mistake hadn’t occurred, and then the whole course of the tournament is altered. This is only theoretical of course but it shows the importance of dealers remaining professional and vigilant.

On a more general note, it is important that dealers are quick as well as efficient. This is because a player usually wants to get their blinds in, and the hand underway, before the level goes up when there are only seconds remaining before it does. Also card dealers must be completely aware of the rules and have a good grasp of figures to be able to count out chips and mediate during hands.

So next time you sit down to play poker and you have the luxury of a professional dealer at your table, be thankful, and be aware of the fantastic job they do in the world of poker.
