In this series of articles, I have tried to tell you all you need to know about the equipment you’ll find in a poker room: chips, cards, buttons, and even the tables and chairs. It occurs to me that I should complete this theme by describing for you the people who work in the room, without whom all that equipment would be useless.
What I am describing here are more roles than individuals. I make that distinction because the amount of overlap between the roles varies enormously, depending on the size of the room.
