Would you like to work as a dealer? Or do you prefer to play?

have the ones who do the dealer work
I have dealer friends, who prefer not to play poker.
I like playing more and not just being the dealer

to play certainly better than to be the dealer in that case if you don't lose a large sum of money)

Someone has to do this kind of work in a live game.
The casino always wins the casino, so that the dealer's work is probably more profitable than the career of the average player ...

Player, I would not be Dealer even if it gets paid better than to be a bad player.
I enjoy the feelings I have while playing poker!
It's awesome!!

I prefer to play poker. To experience those feelings. That the dealer will not experience. Not to change cards

definitely prefer to be a player .... it will never be the same adrenaline you feel when playing poker. Being a dealer should be an interesting job and being the person who handles the cards that define who may be the winner of a tournament should be motile, however it does not compare to being a poker player

I would like to deal so that I could build my roll and get better at the game and eventually play for a living.

I think the work the dealer has nothing to do with the fascination with poker.

So... y'all are aware you can do both, right? Just not at the same time :p

I'm both a poker dealer and a poker player. I known lots of other dealers who are players as well. The only time it gets complicated is when you're in a city like mine where there's only one casino, and being a dealer there disqualifies you from playing there. But if you're somewhere with multiple casinos, or where you can deal and then play online... there's really no reason you can't do both.

Player. Being a dealer is still a JOB!!!! And that comes with all the negatives; the various shifts, the rude and drunk players at the tables, and the usual office politics of any workplace.

For me, playing poker is better than being a dealer. I play for fun, and my level of play does not give me big wins.

Having a good dealer definitely enhances the experience, but, not a job I would enjoy.

The game of poker brings me pleasure, so definitely I would prefer to be a player.

If online poker didn't exist (so two or three tabling wasn't an option) I'd pick a dealer as you'd lose too much in rake for the average session that you'd be making more per hour as a dedicated full-time dealer in a high-end casino. Since online poker exists and multi-tabling is possible, you end up able to outdo dealers by seeing three hands at once etc meaning you are almost always seeing the flop on one of the tables so you are slowly and surely getting income if you play optimal.

Definitely playing for me. I have not got the right temperament for dealing. I would find it very hard to be tactful with rude players.

I would rather play poker than be the dealer...
Otherwise, it would become a boring job.....
But, it would be a good job if the pay was good. And with additional bonus, tips, and fun........
In addition, do ya see how they make their dealers dress up in order to work? A dealer should look professional with style....
