 home games and a 10 person table, Palinya, 4. Dec 2003 14:54 | ||

| Does anyone play a home game on one of those big oval casino style tables? I was wondering if this presents any problems in dealing. For people at the ends of the table trying to throw cards the full length of the table might be more of a pain than it is worth. Or do you just have the same person (in the dealer spot on the table) deal all the hands? If you did it that way could he play also or would that just not be right? | ||

Palinya - If you're going to play on a regulation size oval table, then yes, whoever deals needs to sit in the dealers box, otherwise it would be near impossible for someone who was in seat #2 to deal all the way across to seat #8 without there being cards turned up and stuff...I would think. But you can't keep changing seats just to rotate the dealer so maybe there could be two or three people who would take turns sitting in the dealers box for a period of time - depending on how long the game will run for. They can also be a part of the hands that they deal and they would also be getting tips just to make it fair because who wants deal all night even if they are getting dealt in, know what I mean? It's alot of extra work imo. Anyway, I used to play in a local home game where the host and his wife would alternate every so often being the dealer, on a regulation size oval table, dealing from the dealers box, and they were also a part of the game, and there were no problems. They took no rake or cut, they supplied all the food and beverage - but the players were tipping them as they would if they were in a B&M. The great thing about it was, they were both professional dealers so the hands were being dealt out even faster. Good luck. 4P- | ||

| have someone sit in dealers box and just buy a dealers button like you see in a casino and the button moves clockwise each hand, regardless of the type of game this solves all problems *and allows the dealer to play a hand between seats 1 and 10* *just pretend whoever has the button was the actual dealer since where the cards come from in a cosmic sense makes no difference* Rule #1 of Poker Circumstances alter cases Rule #2 NEVER forget rule #1 | ||
