All-Star Gaming

So Saturday was another Casino Night for a group to remain nameless. On the bright side, prior to the party starting I was pulled aside and given a tip for the previous event. We were paid 40 bucks up front....and the tip was 50. 90 bucks for 3 hours? I like...

This time they needed someone to deal Texas Hold 'Em. Hmm....get paid to deal a great game? Okay.

There was a slightly rocky beginning when for the first couple hands I neglected to have people lay their blinds in. Also, I occasionally have problems reading hands...I really need to practice that. Several times people had Full Houses....fortunately, everyone else was reading the hands far quicker than I could so they usually had their chips by the time I had identified each hand strength so I need to work on that. Also, some people habitually hid their cards so I would occasionally skip over them on the 2nd, 3rd, and later rounds of betting. So I need a better means of identifying who has folded...a second thing to work on. Third, when there was someone all-in, I need to work out a method of quickly determining what the side-pot consists of. other than that....it went really well and was a lot of fun.
