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 poker league that has actual dealers at every table, I became a dealer myself, so others could belefit from that experience. As the years wore on, I began running their major tournaments and training new dealers.

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

After many years dealing for the league, a player told me about Mike's Poker Tables, an organization that runs gaming events for a variety of charities in NJ. I met with Mike, obtained the required NJ Charity Events Dealer's License and began working at Mike's events, dealing and helping set up the room and run the games, typically twice each week. It's a small step towards my ultimate goal of dealing in a casino poker room, but miles ahead of working in a free pub poker league.

Years ago, I wrote a lengthy poker article for the Wizard of Vegas website. 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 keep making updates and changes, with the most recent PDF 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 Tournament Director's Association forum.

On my home page, DaveMillerGaming.com, in addition to a link to this poker page, is info about two casino games that I created and am marketing to casinos, as well as a link to some Las Vegas maps I created, and info about my past life in the entertainment industry.
