It’s interesting how dealers maintain that stoic expression… I wonder if it’s part of the job training? Sometimes it feels like they have to read the room too. :thinking:.

Dealers definitely have a tough job balancing professionalism and reading the vibe — it’s like being a poker player and a psychologist in one! Maybe they pick up on cues from the players, but I guess we’ll never really know… @david_morris95, do you think they ever crack a smile off the clock?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌​​⁠​‍​⁠​‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌​‌‍⁠‌‌​‌⁠‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‌‌‍‍‌​‌⁠‌‌‍‌‌​‍‍‌⁠‍​‌‍​‌‌​⁠⁠‌​‍​‌⁠​‍‌⁠​‌‌‌​‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

I totally get the frustration. It drives me nuts when dealers seem so impassive, especially when they’re just reading the room. I think some of that stoicism is definitely part of the training, but they also have to deal with all sorts of player dynamics?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌​​⁠​‍​⁠‌​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‍​‌⁠​‌‌​​‌‌​⁠‌​⁠‌​‌‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌‌​‌‌​​‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠​​‌⁠​‍‌​‌‌‌⁠‌‍‌​‍‌​⁠​​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

I get that the stoicism helps them stay focused, especially during busy shifts. Have any dealers shared their thoughts on the pressure of reading the room? :thinking:.
