Working Top Dog
You have to make a good day. I have a least two dealer's on each shift that deal a better pen when I enter the game. $5.00min. - $100 tables. I don't need attention in the break room. I'll invest $20 daily for two days on new dealer attempting to explain the value to the casino to deal a fair game, expecially in a "dealer dependent" game. One beginning dealer is now No Doubt, the deepest of dealers in pen. He also deals in the high roller room per casino request. He has more fun on the main floor, in addition to "all" room dealer tips shared. You have to play the game. When the old gentleman tells you, "I was told to use this "slice"/Mark? in shoe." I say... "Right, but you do understand your ability to cut a fair game, and the guaranteed daily drop by the half dozen daily player's that will be playing your table during shift. In addition to "it only takes one good shoe" for a player to enjoy a good day, same can be said of dealer after a "regular's" value run. You should be able to go up to any dealer (if you know him) with a full table and request he save you a seat when player leaves. He'll throw a chip up there for at least 10/15 minutes attempting to get your action. I've had no problem with a 20-1 spread, or higher and know no voice smoke signals will be sent to Cp's at shoe, and as I previously said, back in the break room.
