Day-to-day operating brief

What Poker Dealer work looks like in practice

A Poker Dealer controls cards and table procedure for cash games or tournaments while players make their own decisions. Terms should cover deck checks, shuffle, button movement, blinds, betting announcements, pots, side pots, rake, all-in action, exposed cards, seating and tournament clocks. The dealer should remain neutral, avoid commenting on strategy or unseen cards and call the floor whenever rules interpretation or a disputed pot exceeds routine procedure. At a cash-table change, the dealer should confirm the button, missed blinds and any absent-player status before the next deal. Tournament hand-for-hand play and table balancing require clear floor instructions because an ordinary dealing pace can create an unfair timing advantage elsewhere. Mucked cards should remain protected until the pot is awarded and pushed. Dealer changes require a visible count of the deck and table equipment. Straddles, antes, dead buttons and rabbit-hunt requests must follow the announced house format.

  • Prepare and protect cards and table.
  • Deal hands and announce action.
  • Manage pots rake and side pots.
  • Apply routine procedures neutrally.
  • Call the floor for disputes and irregularities.
