Poker

[cinque]

im getting into Texas hold'em and have had a few good home games/competitions

just wondering if anyone out there has any experience in hiring a pro-dealer for the night (with them supplying the gear etc etc)

ive googled and found www.dialadealer.com which looks what im after........anyone used them or getting into Poker??

Can pick up the kit yourself for not a huge amount, then rotate the deal amongst you.

I picked up a nice 500-chip set from Asda (Tesco's also do it) in a classy metal case for £22. Baize won't be a huge amount either.

We've been playing for about 18 months, never bothered paying someone else to deal.

Just alternate dealer, then for one hand in every five you get the chance to bottom-deal five aces to yourself.

Use the dealer chip.

It's proabably just my twisted mind, but the Game itself is called Poker, and the variation you speak of is called Hold 'em.

So is it Poker & Hold 'em, or Hold 'em & Poker?

ive got the set/baize etc a few of us just thought it'd be better with a more 'pro' set up ,without risking it @ the casino.

I spend half my working day playing poker online and then the rest of the day chasing money launderers and colluders around the (virtual) world. It's great

Mind you there's some Chinese gangs who ing hate me for catching them out

I also play alot of online poker, suppose i am semi professional as i do rather well at it, but saying that, earlier this week i won a seat into a 100 k top prise tourney, throughout that day i had already spent my winnings in my head ( as you do ). 9 o'clock came, sat down, and went out first hand lololol.
As for when playing for real, we normally change dealer everyhand, that way no one misses out on the banter going round etc
