Learn to deal poker
like a pro.

Trained by a working South Florida circuit dealer. Real 9-seat pro table, casino-weight chips, two-deck rotation, and the kind of feedback you only get from someone who's done it ten thousand times. From your first shuffle to your first cardroom audition.

Who this is for

Three kinds of students.
One curriculum that works.

— 01

The home-game host

You're tired of dealing your own game badly. A few hours with me and your table runs like a cardroom instead of a kitchen.

— 02

The side-hustler

You want to pick up dealing shifts in the bar-league circuit or work private events. We'll get you booking-ready.

— 03

The cardroom hopeful

You want a real seat at a real cardroom. The Pro Bootcamp is built around the audition: pace, pitch, pots, and composure under pressure.

The curriculum

What you'll
actually learn.

The same mechanics I use every weekend on the No Limit Pub Poker Tour and Bar Poker Open. No theory dump, no slideshow. You're at the table from minute one.

Built for reps,
not lectures.

Most dealer courses talk at you. We deal. Every module is hands-on at a real table with real chips, and every session ends with a mock hand under time pressure so the muscle memory sticks before you leave.

— Module 01

Shuffle, riffle, strip

The fundamentals every dealer is judged on in their first ten seconds. Done clean, done quiet, done the same way every time.

— Module 02

Pitching cards

Pitch accuracy, spin control, and the rhythm that separates "someone dealing cards" from a dealer running a table.

— Module 03

Button, blinds, and procedure

The sequence of every hand: post, deal, burn, flop, turn, river, showdown. Called out loud, until it's automatic.

— Module 04

Pot management & chip handling

Stacking, splashing, side pots, breaking down a bet, paying out cleanly. The part that gets cardroom dealers fired when they fumble it.

— Module 05

Tournament structures

Blinds, levels, breaks, color-ups, all-in announcements, table balancing. How to deal a real tournament without slowing the night down.

— Module 06

Composure & audition prep (Pro tier)

Difficult players, payout disputes, mistakes-on-the-fly, and the under-pressure mock-table run that mirrors a real cardroom audition.

Common questions

What students
actually ask.

Do I need any experience to start?

No. The Foundations Workshop assumes you've played poker but have never dealt. We start with the deck in your hand on day one.

Will this help me get hired at a cardroom?

The Pro Bootcamp is built around audition prep — the mechanics, the pace, and the composure cardrooms test for. I can't guarantee a hire, but you'll walk into the audition knowing exactly what they're grading.

What if I just want to deal my own home game better?

Start with the Foundations Workshop or a single one-on-one. Most home-game hosts only need a few hours to look completely different at the table.

Where do classes happen?

At my pro 9-seat table in West Palm Beach. For private coaching, I can travel within South Florida for an additional fee.

How big are the group classes?

Six students maximum. Anyone past that and you're not getting enough reps in three hours.

Do you provide cards and chips?

Yes. Pro table, casino-weight chips, two-deck rotation, dealer button, tournament timer — the kit you'd see at a real event. You bring yourself and a notebook.
