Dave Miller - Poker Dealer

I started playing poker in 2004, and my love for the game only increases as time goes by. After several years playing in the only local league that has actual dealers at every table, I became a dealer myself.

Someday I hope to become a dealer in a casino poker room. Unfortunately, my experience in the pub league as an unlicensed dealer, doesn't qualify me to deal in a casino. At least not in my local casinos, where I was told that, despite my experience, I would have to take the training they offer. The training is full time for four weeks. Were it not for the full time job I already have, I'd jump at the chance.

Below is a PDF of a seven page handbook that I wrote and give to the new dealers in the league as I train them.

Years ago, I wrote a lengthy article for the Wizard of Odds sister site, Wizard of Vegas. It has no poker strategy or anything like that. It's about the differences between playing poker in a casino poker room vs your friend's dining room, and what you need to know before you go. I recently made some changes. The updated PDF is below while the original Introduction to Poker in a Casino Poker Room artice is still on the Wizard's site.

Note: I'm one of the most prolific posters on the Wizard of Vegas forums, but my user name is DJ Teddy Bear, the stage name I had before getting involved with gaming.

I also post on a fairly regular basis on the Poker TDA forum.

I created two casino games that I'm offering to casinos. Full descriptions of both are available, as well as a link to some Las Vegas maps I created, on my home page, DaveMillerGaming.com.
