MY 4687th DAY AS A POKER DEALER WENT LIKE THIS...

Worked: 8hrs

Our job as poker dealers is a thankless job. You get no credit when you do a good job, and get blamed when something goes wrong. We remain anonymous faces as we shuffle and deal the cards....yes it is a thankless job.

Sometimes, however, you get a glimpse of hope that maybe there is an appreciation of what you do..today i got a little bit of it.

I was standing, talking to another dealer, when a player (whom has been playing in our room for years) came up to us and explained that's he's been playing on other Las Vegas Poker rooms the past few days, and hasn't been impressed with how those rooms were run. He went out to get our room and our staff high praise for our professionalism and high standards. He says that's why he continues to always play in our room whenever he visits. We thanked him for his kind words. As he went back to the table, I thought...sometimes...this job is worth it! We do have an impact on these players.....

And we're not just anonymous faces...it's a satisfying feeling....
