Just as Cardz Law of Dealing Poker dictates, I dealt a $500-1,000 game Mixed Game (with the 3s from the last post – in which he called me ‘a liar’). When the night started, I thought I’d never make it to Table 12, but as luck (bad luck) and reroutes work, there I was along about 1 a.m. The 3s was in the 6s and six of the players were Asian – including the 6s. He finally got involved in one hand, late in my down, small pot, and lost.

He looked at the 5s and said, “Look at her face, it looks like a mask,” as he motioned to me. The 5s looked at me while the 6s continued, “She’s my favorite dealer.”

Without missing a beat, I looked at him and exclaimed, “You’re my favorite player! What a coincidence.”

The 5s almost fell off of his chair laughing. The 6s loosened up then. He won a couple of pots and threw me $1 each time. Whoooopeeee! It’s Big Buck City here in these big games. But best of all, he decided to get off my case.

Interested in Bellagio’s $25,000 Heads-up Limit Holdem Tournament? Sixteen players signed up. If the number of contestants were ‘odd’, the draw would have given a contestant a ‘buy’. The tournament started yesterday. I dealt to Barry and Jennifer – Jennifer clearly had the chip lead during my down, and to Bruno and Jeff – they were in the first hour when I sat down. This page will give you a little clearer picture of how it works.

Color me gone…have to go entertain myself with the life of a poker dealer.
