Dealer

Poker Glossary

The Dealer is the person who deals the cards in a card game. In Hold'em the player in the dealer position is the last person to act. Because of this he has an information advantage, because he knows what all other players will do before he has to act. In online and casino poker games there is a dealer button which marks the player who acts as the dealer or is in the dealer potion, since the real card dealer does not participate in the game. In home poker games the dealer often participates in the game.
