Learn to talk to your players while still maintaining your speed at dealing.

Not everyone at your table is going to stiff, so just keep dealing fast and hopefully the next person you push the pot to will be gracious to throw you a tip.Ħ.) Be friendly (this will help your cause in many ways.) but don't allow your conversations to slow you down.

You will only hurt yourself more if you do this. I see so many dealers slow down their dealing when they get stiffed as if that is supposed to help their cause. (Also good to make change while no one is betting and everyone is checking.) Some dealers do this after the hand is over which can slow your hands per down significantly over the long run.ĥ.) Keep dealing fast even if you get stiffed. If someone raised and you have a player thinking for a few seconds, this is a perfect time to make your change in the pot for the rake. If you are not being loud enough, you are going to get a lot of comments like 'How much is that?' 'Is it on me?' or 'The raise is to what?'Ĥ.) Make change for the rake while someone is deciding on their action. You can waste a lot of time with them just sitting there.ģ.) Speak the action that is going on loud and clear. Sometimes they really are contemplating a bet/raise/fold, but sometimes they just have no idea the action is on them. Also, if someone is sitting there for a long period of time without acting, don't wait too long to remind them it is their turn. This can speed things up too because you don't always have someone who is paying attention at your table and might be sitting there waiting for you to tell them it is their turn. Don't point directly at them (they may take this offense to this) however, you can keep your hand on the table and point to the person who is to act next. A lot of dealers will just look at the player and not really point at who the action is on. It takes some practice though, as you don't want your action to slow down as a result.Ģ.) Make sure you let your players know who the action is on. This really does speed things up, and is one of the tricks I learned that got me an extra 2 hands per down.

Here are some of the things that helped me become faster at dealing:ġ.) as bjohnson said, give change as soon as your hole cards are out.
