Poker Profile: the Dealer
August 6th, 2009
Playing online poker with someone who deals them professionally for a living is, on its face, a rather strange proposition. Most would say that these people who have literally watched thousands of players play thousands of hands day after day would grow into a stature of judgment and experience that few can muster.
And while many online poker dealers are often excellent and sharp players, there is a tendency among them, in my experience, to throw a strong measure of gamble into their game. First, they are so used to the way things go down that many of them want to play quicker action. You don’t see a lot of infinitely patient dealer players, as for them, they are only a couple seats over from where they sit when they work.
As a result, though it is not quite a rule, you can expect the player who announces himself as a dealer of online poker to be both slightly more than commonly aggressive, and ready to pounce literally at any sign of weakness. Though they can be slick players to get a hold on, the best way to lean against them is to let them lean their own sense of experience right into your clutches.
