I mean when you get a dealer game going..do you take turns or draw straws to see who deals..?
Y'know, playing poker in a casino makes me want to deal more. It's more fun in the box.
At home games, I don't like dealing. If I'm doing it all myself, then I'm having to do all that stuff that we do, and I can't just immerse myself with my peers. If it's a rotation deal, I'm distracted watching all the crappy dealers. Sadly I'm not at stakes that can support a full-time dealer at a home game.
Tho' I have played a few times in home games with a lot of other pro dealers, and I rather enjoy dealing to them, because I know they're going to do all the little things as players that help move the game along, and they'll appreciate the job I'm doing.

Is that due to dealing, or due to realizing that poker played seriously is rather boring in the first place?
