This is the only video I could find that actually showed you the procedure of dealing cards. 1 in turn to each player, burn 1, flop, burn 1, turn, burn 1, river
If I get 2 and 7 off-suit, I am in trouble. If I get suited king and ace, the opponents are in trouble. If I get two suited aces, the dealer is in trouble.
That is something I will get to eventually. It is done to alert the players that the flop, turn, or river are coming. That way, if the dealer is mistakenly attempting to bring the flop, turn or river before someone has had a chance to act, that player has a chance to stop them and bring it to the dealer's attention to hold on a moment. If done correctly, it is a very helpful safeguard to prevent premature board cards.
You explain is brilliantly, I'm learning myself and you are tying up a lot of loose ends for me! I await the betting rounds video... (that actually what I searched for)
Pot limit is very, very similar to no limit, but in Pot limit, a player may only raise to a maximum of what is in the pot. To determine what is in the pot is a bit too complicated to type out here. I will eventually make a video on the topic though :).
His explanation of hand rankings is critical to a dealer's role in the game, sometimes players misread their hands and even if they declare they have one hand when they actually have another then the dealer has to identify what hand they actually have regardless of what they said and use that to decide who gets the pot. He has to explain the other variations of poker as well so that, as a dealer, you know how they work from a dealer's perspective.
I am happy to answer all questions. In a perfect world, the cards in the deck would never be marked, and casinos work very, very hard to prevent the marking of cards. As an extra precaution, just in case a player were to come up with a way to mark a cards without being detected, the dealer will never leave the next card to come on the top of the deck while players are making decisions on their money. This way there is absolutely no chance that a player will know what card is coming next.
You may also notice that different regions of the country have similar ways of handling this. There are casinos out there that may ask to see your dealing certificate. Others won't care at all. Just like with everything else, getting the education always makes things easier, but there are ways around everything!
In $4/$8, a player may only raise by exact $4 before the flop ($4 raised goes to $8. Then if someone wanted to raise that it would go to $12 then $16 and they usually cap the raises in each betting round after a bet and 3 raises. Then after the turn and after the river it would go $8, $16, $24, $32.
The main exception to that is that some casinos run their own schools. For those casinos, you can just apply to take their class instead of applying directly for the job. Then, if you pass their class, then you almost always get the job or get the job in the near future as more positions become available.
Well I can start you off. In fixed limit games, instead of being able to raise to any amount you want, you may only raise by a specific amount that is dictated by the betting round you are on (after the flop is usually a different raise amount than after the turn, for instance). A very common fixed game (also called limit poker) is $4/$8 hold em (they don't bother saying $4/$8 limit hold em for fixed.
Question: i have a pocket Queen of Hearts and an Ace of hearts. Another player has Queen of Clubs and an Ace Spade. On the table there's three of kind 7s and a Queen Spade. That would be a split correct? Because you can only play 5 cards on the table, the other player kept saying he won because of his Ace Spade but that would be a 6th card in play which is invalid.
In online poker, to prevent collusion, all hands at showdown are revealed in the hand history. This has led to some players believing they have the right to see any hand at showdown. In live poker, once one player shows their hand, all other players may muck. The casino will have rules about players asking to see the remaining hands to prevent collusion. In tournaments, live and online, all hands are revealed in all in pots once the action is complete.
The current plan is to release videos on how to deal poker first. These videos can be looked at both from a playing viewpoint and from a working in the industry viewpoint. They are intended from a working in the industry standpoint. Believe it or not, many people who attempt to learn to deal poker don't know the basics of poker. Eventually, I would love to go over all of the concepts you talked about. Dealing first! Next we get into dealing a hand and going over the basics.
Hello, Mr. Helpful, Can a straight be comprised of Deuce, Ace, King, Queen, Jack? Or even Three, Deuce, Ace, King, Queen? If so, would the latter be called a Trey High Straight? Love, Ms. Needs Help
Is there a rule of showdown in poker, where all active players must show their cards (no mucking)? Or has it ever existed in the history of poker? Thank you.
Hey Mark, I feel like this is a dumb question but how do straights with face cards work exactly? Do the face cards count as tens but beat each other just because. Or do they work like 12,13,14,15? With the ace at 15 or something. It’s quite confusing on how the straights work for me. Thanks
The order of the cards goes 23456789TJQKA and a straight is just 5 of these in a row. The only excpetion is that a straight can also be A2345. So 45678 is a straight, 89TJQ is a straight, TJQKA is a straight, 789TJ is a straight and so on
When players have a hand of equal strength, the pot is split between them. Also some games pay half the pot to the highest hand and half the pot to the lowest hand.
The answer to your question is complicated. The short answer is that it is not required to have a dealer's certificate to get a job at a casino. However, it is usually much more difficult to get selected for a dealing audition without being able to show proof of having been formally trained to deal. In other words, you usually have to be friendly with someone in the casino to get a shot at an audition if you have never been trained by a school.
Good evening. I have a question, if you wouldn't mind giving me a hand with it... My buddies and I have been playing a strange card game, and I was wondering if you could identify it for me. It goes like this... The dealer (also a player at the table) deals everyone five cards from a freshly shuffled deck. The player on their left starts. The player can discard between one and three cards from his or her hand, and pick up the same number from the deck, in an attempt to build a winning hand. Once they have done this, they bet (although we use bottle caps for chips, and it's all in fun, so no consequences!). The minimum is one cap, but they can put more in if they wish, or put the whole of their chips in if they have big balls. Then the next player takes their turn. This continues until there are either no cards left in the deck, or everyone has put in all their chips, or folded out. At this point, everyone shows their hand, and the hands are scored in the way you outline in the first video... Have we just invented something, or is this familiar to you?
+Peter Edwards Disclaimer.. I suck at cards for the most part ... Just sounds like a game of 5 card draw minus the first round of betting.. Typically, first five cards are dealt and there is a round of bidding (starting first person left of dealer). After round of bidding is complete, the person that started bidding will call for cards (0 to 3 cards) and then the next person to his left will call for cards until all players have called for cards.. Round 2 of bidding and then the lay down. A few "house" rules variations exist.. Probably the most common is the "4" card draw, player must show an Ace as held card..
Hi. I'm currently working at a casino as a poker cage cashier. Eventually i would like to work my way up to a Dealer (the way it works at my casino is people have to start off as a chip runner/poker host first then audition to become a dealer) i find your videos to be extremely helpful. I've dealt at a couple of friendly cash games to a table full of dealers, but those games are kind of like $20/40 NL games. I've never played or dealt Fixed or Pot limit. Could you explain the difference to me?
Hello! I've been wanting to be a poker dealer for a while now, I've been learning, training and practicing on my own for the past months and your videos have helped me a bunch....Is it necesary to have a dealer's certicficate or is it necesary to go to a dealer school to get hired??? because I think I have enough skills to be working already. Thank you!
When i watch Poker, I see a player throwing in chips, then taking out some that was already infront of them, why do they do that? For example, if they bet $1000, then they get raised $6000, do they put a $6000 chip and take out the $1000 they put in earlier because they put in extra with the $6000 chip? Thanks.
I honestly don't know that there is a correct way to go in poker. I went that direction because I also have a table games background and the casino I was taught at had us open hands in that direction. Other casinos went clockwise. I will say this though. Whichever way you go, it is easiest to start on one side of the dealer and go around the table until you reach the other side, with some exceptions.
If the best hand is made up of the five cards on the board, it will be won by the only player who hasn’t folded (last player standing) or spilt between those who are still in at the end. This could be several players and the pot will be divided between them.
You realise this is a series about DEALING poker, not playing it? There are a gajillion videos and sites about playing poker and things like betting/outs/odds/equity etc. Try pokerology or something. To the uploader: this series is absolutely excellent, I've been dying for something like this; saddened to see you haven't uploaded anything for a bit though :-( Was looking forward to the dealing rules and procedures for the games I play but don't know how to deal.
Oh Another question, When a player beats something like 16000 Dollars, i see a player throw in a 25000 dollar chip, does the dealer then give the player 9000 dollars back? because it makes no sense to use a 25000 dollar chip to call a 16000 dollar bet i dont get it?
Just before the Flop, then again just before the turn, then again just before the river. The purpose is if the cards are marked by a cheater, they can't tell what the next card about to be played is because you're burning it instead and then drawing the next one, the most they can do with that information is know what card from the deck has been burned, which is of minimal help to them.
I guess the only real answer is that in some cases, it's just easier. For example, a player may bet $1,350 and then get raised to $5,000. Instead of figuring out that it takes another $3,650 to call, and getting the correct chip denominations, it may be easier to just use five $1,000 chips. I assume that is the type of thing you are seeing.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about best online online poker course try Cranstirk Card Star Channel (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 got great success with it.
How about this the bank says a number from 13 to to 52 and each player gets 13 cards each from a different deck and the player with the exact card value wins. diamonds are worth 2x and spades are worth 4x and hearts and worth 1.5 and spades are worth 2.5 so better have a calculator and duces and worth spades divided by hearts and the prize is 1000$.
This is the only video I could find that actually showed you the procedure of dealing cards. 1 in turn to each player, burn 1, flop, burn 1, turn, burn 1, river
I am glad you liked it. If you would like to know more about how to deal, I have just started a facebook group called Truepokerdealer
If I get 2 and 7 off-suit, I am in trouble.
If I get suited king and ace, the opponents are in trouble.
If I get two suited aces, the dealer is in trouble.
Please, keep it up with this series!! Really interested in learning more.
Thanks for the feedback. Will keep in mind for future videos!

Thank you, now I understand
I have learned many things from your comments and videos so thanks again
Great work. I enjoyed and learned a lot from your channel.

When and why is the pot split among 2 players ??🤔
When players have a hand of equal strength, the pot is split between them. Also some games pay half the pot to the highest hand and half the pot to the lowest hand.
The answer to your question is complicated. The short answer is that it is not required to have a dealer's certificate to get a job at a casino.

In other words, you usually have to be friendly with someone in the casino to get a shot at an audition if you have never been trained by a school.
That is what the burn card is. It is a card that rests on top of the next card to come as an added precaution against players marking cards.

In poker we need to used all 52 cards before changing to another deck of card?or how many times before we shuffle the deck?
Every round ofc..
I haven't finished editing the videos that are locked. Free websites take time to finish!
J10 flopped the straight, coincidence or did you fix it? :)
Thanks bro

Do i shuffle the deck every after game?

What if your best poker hand is the 5 community cards on the table ?
Khelil Oussama at least in Texas Holdem you can use the 5 community carda without no problems :)
If the best hand is made up of the five cards on the board, it will be won by the only player who hasn’t folded (last player standing) or spilt between those who are still in at the end. This could be several players and the pot will be divided between them.

Carson Stephens nice
What deck of cards are you using? can you give me an ebay link please
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about best online online poker course try Cranstirk Card Star Channel (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 got great success with it.
no, an ace can only be part of either a ace king queen jack 10 straight or a 5 4 3 2 ace straight.
Every one gets 100cards
why did draw poker fade out of style? you hardly ever see that in a poker room anymore
How about this the bank says a number from 13 to to 52 and each player gets 13 cards each from a different deck and the player with the exact card value wins. diamonds are worth 2x and spades are worth 4x and hearts and worth 1.5 and spades are worth 2.5 so better have a calculator and duces and worth spades divided by hearts and the prize is 1000$.
I know. I know. I suck. I said it would be out weeks ago and then I got tied up with a few other things. It's coming. I promise.
wow thanks :)
why do you actually burn cards?
Sorry if my question is to Amateur
No, those would not be straights. A,K,Q,J,T all the way down to 5,4,3,2,A are the only acceptable straights.
