They SHOULD all be dealer dealt, and they certainly will be long-term. Might be some problems at the weekend that mean that some aren"t.
Don"t worry if you"ve never dealt or shuffled before. Everyone starts somewhere. I can"t deal or shuffle well. Best way to shuffle is to mix the cards in the same way dealers do, rather than worry about fancy riffles that don"t actually produce a random shuffle anywhere near as well as just mixing the cards randomly on the table in a big mess.
If it"s self-deal, there"s usually someone at the table who will volunteer to deal every hand. I think this affects their game, but some are still willing. If not, when it comes round to you, you can ask someone else to shuffle for you, announce that you"re a novice at live play (say you play loads online, so that they know you can actually play the game), and they"ll have to just bear with you.
Dealing is easier than you think, and just take your time. After you"ve done it a few times you"ll be wondering what you were worried about!

sounds sensible.... ta
Jon MW:
I"ve only ever once been on a table where somebody got annoyed about anyones dealing but (a) he was generally an unpleasant person anyway, (b) he criticised absolutely everybodys shuffling (so showing he wasn"t actually particularly annoyed with me he was just having a go at everybody) and (c) he got so annoyed about people not meeting his exacting standards that he insisted he had to deal.
So there isn"t really anything to worry about; it won"t be as hard as you think, hardly anyone will particularly mind anyway - and if you do get someone who takes offence they probably aren"t the kind of people who"s opinion you should be taking any notice of anyway.
and Kin - 7 riffle shuffles creates a statistically random deck (I read it, it must be true)
EDIT: and of course these ones should be dealer dealt, so the situation shouldn"t arise. :)

Could of quite easly made it 5000 tourny starts at 2.30 30 min blinds means your allin after only 2 hours (or less) 60 hands well thats not much play id agree if u had 500 players but plymouth will be 80 max!! So not worth the drive really so will be very regional.
