Dealer Training

You are about to embark on a fun and exciting job!

At Pop's Poker, we take pride in knowing that ALL of our dealers have gone through a thorough training process and are ready to be professional dealers by the time they get in the box. Our expectations for each of our new dealers is held to the highest industry standards.

The entire process takes time to complete. For some, it may take a few weeks, for others, a few months. You will need to be patient and dedicated to this process in order to pass an audition and begin dealing for Pop's, once poker returns.

Watch the first six (6) videos (for free) of “True Poker Dealer” on YouTube, videos by Marc Shumsker, which include pitching cards, shuffling cards, and cutting chips. You should watch these videos BEFORE coming to the workshop. This includes learning how to hand shuffle, cut and handle chips, and pitching cards. Click here to begin viewing the videos.
Sign up for the True Poker Dealer online videos (at $50 per month). This is the best way to get all of the training on your own.
