I have been practicing this and thought I am not very good at it I was wondering if it is of any use in any actual game or if it's just a waste of time.

I can't think of a single practical use for the ability of being able to deal ambidextrously.

The only thing I can think of is utilizing the different peeks and flashes of either hand. A left-handed dealer has some peeks/flashes that a right-handed dealer can't do, and vice versa.

Cards are dealt clockwise. Now years and years ago I dealt draw poker dealing bottoms on the draw to a crew and usually there was only a couple of suckers at the table at a time. Anyhow I liked it better if the suckers were seated to my right, as I deal left handed. I don't think it made any difference where they sat really but it did feel safer to me when I had them to the right.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I have exactly the same problem tommy, my deal is too open when I deal to the person to my left.

You always want to seat your self next to the weakest player in the game because he/she is never going to look for anything wrong where a wise-guy might try to burn your hand. Note: If you're seated at a small table in a club, you always want to sit with your back against the wall and if possible you always want your weakest dealing side to face the wall as well. Oh one more thing, you should always prefer the biggest or longest table in preference to the smaller because the longer the distance the harder it will be for a sucker to spot your deal. Bottom Line: You will make some kind of mistake in the course of a night while dealing, so it's better to be safe than sorry. Respectfully, Doc |

As far as I understand Tommy says he holds the deck in his right hand and sails with the left one. Therefore I agree that's better to have the suckers on your right because their view on the deck would me more concealed (and in the best case, your partner, or a weak and not wise guy is on the left). Now Doc you say that you'd prefer to have them on your left. There's something I don't really catch here?

The deck is more exposed when dealing to your left because everybody can see the deck and even if you have an invisible deal the angle is terrible.

On John Scarne's book was written how lefthand dealer can peek all cards.
On Old book about card cheating written about Greek what was righthand but practised deal by left hand (Villiod or Cavaille). Do not remember explanation why.
