I hate it when a Dealer.....
- Thread starter Mumbo Jumbo
- Start date
I like the dealers who aren't a whore to the casino (usually the ones that don't work the pit as main job are the ones who aren't a whore to management, but sometimes some of the dealers who also work pit are decent, occasionally).
I've also noticed that the dealers that just deal and never work the pit seem to always be the ones that cut better. A dealer who does a good cut (usually around 5 to 10 more cards then what the casino standard is) is always good.
Also I hate a dealer who deals incredibly slow, there's no dealer whose fast enough for me
, bring on the speed demons and the higher $$$ per hour.
At this indian casino I go to, all the Indian dealers seem to be the ones who both work the pit and deal, and they mostly cut 5 or 10 cards behind the casino standard. Although this one guy who looks Indian is the nicest dealer and cuts great, he's the exception (he might be mexican though hehe, i'm not good at discerning my races)

They have a booring job
So some do that phony blackjack trick trying to be cute and others begin conversations which I do not mind, but the guy who gets me is the dealer who works like a tout service.
The dealer may not really know his blackjack but he knows his players. He will latch on to a guy with big money and tell him how to bet, how to play his hand, when to increase his bets and many other things. If the guy gets lucky and wins the tokes are huge, if the guy loses the dealer still got some decent tokes along the way usually and wishes him better luck next time.
You do not see this kind of dealer often in Vegas where tokes are pulled. But you will find at least one of these guys (they seem to be guys) in every California Indian casino where dealers go for their own tip. He is the ultimate tip hustler.

I hate it when the dealer-
1.) Thinks he knows how to play, then proceeds to give out sh** advice. "You shouldn't split your eights against my ten. You want to lose twice"? "Surrender is for suckers. It's a house bet". "You want to hit that Ace/Seven against my nine? You have eighteen!" "Always take even money. It's the only sure bet in the casino". NOTE: This will also be the same dealer that brags to you how much money he wins playing BJ in other casinos. (He's also more than willing to share his immense gambling knowledge and his winning strategies for beating Spanish 21, the Big Wheel, and what numbers are "way overdue" on roulette).
2.) The dealer who appears to take personal satisfaction in killing the table, like it's a competition between him and the players, and it's "HIS" money in the rack. (Although if you listen to him, he only makes the equivalent of a Chinese factory worker. 12 cents an hour).
3.) "Assumes" your action on a hand before giving a signal, passing you by, and having to yell "hey, hold on, I'm hitting this"!!!. EX: Going right by you and on to the next player when you have soft 18 vs a dealer 10, assuming you are standing. Many of these dealers are also Speed Racers, dazzling you with their lightning fast dealing abilities, so you have about 3/10ths of a second to make a decision before he assumes what you want, and moves on to assume the next player's hand. Extremely hyperactive. This would be the guy you can picture dancing on a table with a lampshade over his head at your cousin's wedding.
4.) Dealers that "fake" having a BJ. He's a real hoot. About as much fun as having your partner "fake" it. (usually likes to combine this fun play with #2 above).
5.) Dealers that cry about how underpaid they are. aka "Toke Hustlers"
(Well, if you started paying me on a few pushes, maybe I WOULD tip you..... Nah, who am I kidding).
6.) "Thrilled To Be Working Here" award winners. Bored, slow as hell, silent, scowl faced, yawning, no personality, monotone, and generally doing you a big favor giving you cards and scooping your chips. (Bueller?.... Beuller?.... Beuller?.....)
7.) Asian dealers, when you're the only English speaking person at the table. Everyone's all yukking it up in Chinese, laughing, and then they all suddenly go quiet and glance over at you. (I swear they're all making fun of me, the bastards).
7.) Midget dealers. I haven't actually seen this one, but I would hate it if I did. Can you imagine how long it would take to shuffle an 8 deck shoe with those tiny hands?

haha, I actually had a midget dealer in Reno Peppermill! She had to stand on a big ass box to be above the table it was pretty weird.
I had a dealer tell me corny ass jokes about every hand he dealt to me, most of them he obviously made up. This was very annoying, so I tip him five to not tell anymore jokes, played another deck and left the casino.
