I am looking for a way to learn how to deal Hold'em. We are starting a recreational league in my area and am planning on being one of the dealers. Do you know anywhere I can get information for my own benefit and the training of the other dealers?

You probabaly don't need a book on just dealing as there are plenty of sites on-line that describe the general method. However, if you want something official to refer to, a general book like "Poker for Dummies" will describe the dealing in some depth.

The Professional Dealers Handbook is the name of a book you may be interested in. If you're serious and are in SoCal - I'll make a trip and give some lessons.

ADAM THE EXPERT WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION

IN THIS SITUATION, IN A FRIENDLY ENVIORMENT, THE MOST

IMPORTANT THING, IS FOR PEOPLE TO SHOW UP, AND BE

POLITE. IN A NON-PROFESSIONAL SETTING, THIS IS MORE

IMPORTANT, THAN TECHNICAL EXPERTISE.


THIS IS ONLY ONE BOOK AVAILABLE ON DEALING, AND IT'S

ONLY SO-SO


I COULD WRITE YOU A MANUAL, AS I AM ASLO ON OF THE

TOP AUTHORITIES IN THE WORLD, ON PROFESSIONAL

DEALING.


BUT, YOU WOULD HAVE TO SIGN A CONTRACT, THAT YOU

WOULD NOT PUBLISH IT


THIS IS NO BIG DEAL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS, WON'T MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

TO ME.

BUT, IF YOU REALLY WANT IT, MY EMAIL IS:

ADAMOFALASKA@HOTMAIL.COM

I'LL ONLY CHARGE FORTY DOLLARS AN HOUR, TO WRITE

YOU A BOOK.

YOU MAY PUBLISH IT, BUT YOU MUST SPLIT WITH ME,

FIFTY FIFTY.

Good thing you don't charge by the page:

"WITH ALL OF THOSE CAPITAL LETTERS, YOU'D BE RIPPING US OFF PAGES AT A TIME"
"with all of those capital letters, you'd be ripping us off pages at a time"

See?


By the way, AtE, there is a new branch of the CDC that has been created; you can reach them at 1-800-CAPLOCK. A small sample of their survey, which can determine if someone has a problem, is reproduced below:

1) When you hear yourself talking, do you imagine the words COMING OUT LIKE THIS?

2) Are you regularly accused of speaking too loudly, an accusation that you resent and therefore rebel against, using all mediums of expression?

3) Do you feel that your expertise in life is not being recognized properly and that emphasizing it WITH MORE VIGOR will make a difference?

4) Do you feel that lower-case letters represent an implied slur on your manhood, and YOU KNOW THAT YOU GET IT UP ALL OF THE TIME?

If you answered YES YES YES to these questions, you are in CAPLOCK DENIAL. This disease, rarely seen until the explosion of poker discussion groups and online poker games, can lead to various dehibilitating conditions, including:

a) Pinky Lockitis- Much like the "your face will freeze like that!" pronouncements of long ago, holding down the Shift key will eventually result in a crippling injury to the outside digits on your hands. One severe consequence- you'll never be able to drink tea in high society again

b) Bass Mouth- In 97.4356% of those inflicted with CAPLOCK DENIAL (strangely enough, the abbreviation is "cld"- fairly ironic), it has been found that the sufferers mouth the words as they type. Of course, since they are yelling at the time, the mouth is wide open to its farthest extent. Eventually, just like Pinky Lockitis, the mouth eventually hardens in this position.
The only known film capture of this condition, showing the early stages of the progression, can be seen in the Tom Hanks film "Punchline" (where the sufferer of cld tries to disguise the problem by creating a baby eagle bit).

How you can help!
Ridiculing a cld sufferer will have no effect. A forceful intervention ("STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD!!") and month-long detox retreat ("yes, small letters are your friends") is often the only cure. The cld COMMANDO TEAM is on call, 24/7, to assist those who are crying out for help.

So, if you know of someone who suffers from this dread disease, or displays some of these horrific symptoms... or if you have the courage to admit that YOU MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM AND KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO SAVE YOURSELF FROM VIOLENTLY EXPRESSED SOCIAL STIGMA.... then please call 1-800-CAPLOCK and save a life.

"We use small letters... because we care"
