Do you keep track of Good/Bad dealers?

Factors which would be considered:

1) Deck penetration. This clearly s/b top on the list. Deeper is better. I think you'll find that dealers are pretty consistent on this, unless instructed to do otherwise.

2) Everything else s/b secondary. But some other factors to consider. Negatives which would lead me to trying to avoid a dealer:
a) Scrapes b4 cards hit the board. If u can't recognize each card, that's bad.
b) Doesn't show burn card and not loose w/ card at back end.
c) Talks too much. Distracting and slows game down.
d) Bad on calculating payouts. Don't want to have to re-check their math.
e) Sloppy deals. Can't hold the cards, slows down the game.

Dealers and pit. I have a log with a page for each casino with notes about specific dealers and pit. No results in this log. With dealers it is mostly about pen, but I will also note a really slow dealer.

The third thing is their attitude. Most dealers are just working folks wanting to get through their shifts. But some are 'company guys', more than they need to be. You can tell this by actions as well as occasional comments. I try to minimize my exposure to this type of dealer for obvious reasons.

Now, I used to store all this info in my head, but as time went on and I began playing a larger rotation of games with many more people involved, it became more beneficial to 'aid' my memory. So now I have my log and review the locations that I will be playing before I leave the house. Signs of age, I guess. Lol.

as well.

Like u say, Attitude is a great 2ndary variable. If they want you to win, that's great.

Have been charting this of late. For sure, there are a few dealers that I want to avoid, if possible.

Recently, I will say that my "Avoid" dealers just happened to be females. Just b/c of attitude/mechanical reasons. I will say that I LOVE FEMALE PIT BOSSES. They don't seem to have a care in the world, re: potential counters. Could say the same thing about female dealers.
