Live School is a 5+ hour/week, six-week guided training experience designed to take you from learning the skills to cashing out.
Traditional poker dealing schools are limiting and outdated. You have to commute in person, sit in a stuffy room for hours, and spend thousands of dollars to do it.
Now, you can learn from the convenience of home without sacrificing the integrity of the trade, or the high-touch attention to detail that will make you stand out behind the felt.
Live School by True Poker Dealer is the world's first fully online poker dealing school.
You are given a collection of on-demand video lessons to study and practice when it works for you. Then, join the live sessions for accountability, real-time coaching, and direct feedback on your skill, form, and technique.

When I started True Poker Dealer, my goal was simple. I wanted to teach people how to deal poker the right way. Not the fast way, or the easy way. The right way.
And, like never before in the industry, to do it fully online.
Since 2020, I’ve watched thousands of students go through The Complete Course on How to Deal Poker and become successful dealers. But I’ve also seen how much faster and more confident people grow when they have real time support- live feedback, accountability, and guidance from someone who’s worked the game for over a decade.
So, I created Live School, a six-week, hands on poker dealer training program where I work with you directly to refine your technique, correct your form, and make sure you’re truly casino ready.
A live online poker dealing school is unprecedented. They said it couldn't be done, but I disproved that through already training thousands of poker dealers online.
Whether you’re brand new, brushing up after time away, or preparing for a casino audition, Live School gives you the mentorship and confidence you need to step into the industry with the level of mastery that makes you an asset in the poker room.

Dealing has changed my life, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Skill wise, I had no idea how to deal. Marc’s teaching style was very thorough and informative, and it was easy to follow along and grasp the concepts. After learning to deal poker through the course, I was able to pass and get hired as a dealer. If you’re on the fence, go for it.
JAZ
The change in my confidence and skill level has been night and day.
I had zero experience other than playing poker, and I would’ve never been able to properly deal without Marc’s course. It was very informative and made all the difference. If you want to be a dealer, Marc’s course is a definite must. If you’re interested in being a dealer that’s highly valued, take the time to learn from the best and learn it correctly.
JAE
Honestly one of the best teachers I've ever had.
If you want to learn how to deal poker and have a job anywhere in the world, this is your guy.
TOM
I'd recommend True Poker Dealer to anyone who wants to start dealing professionally, without spending thousands of dollars.
The financial freedom of being a poker dealer means I can pay off my student loans while affording to take my significant other out on date nights.

Yes, and thousands of students already have. Live School was built to prove that real, casino-standard poker dealing can be taught online with the right mix of structure, expert coaching, and hands-on correction. You’ll get live feedback, guided practice, and mock audition prep, which is everything you’d expect from in-person training, without the commute or high tuition. By the end, you won’t just feel ready. You’ll be ready.
The Complete Course is self-paced. You watch lessons, practice on your own, and learn at your own speed. Live School adds a high-touch coaching layer: you’ll work directly with Marc in weekly live sessions, get personalized feedback, and sharpen your skills faster with accountability and expert correction.
Live School is a six week program that includes full access to The Complete Course, 5+ hours per week of live Zoom sessions, guidance through the Complete Course lessons, personalized feedback from Marc, structured practice drills, and optional mock auditions. You’ll get clear action steps between sessions to accelerate your progress, and you'll always know exactly what you should be practicing and perfecting.
This course is specifically designed for flexibility while learning this skill. All live sessions are recorded, so you can catch up if you miss one. However, to get the full value of Live School (and to work with Marc directly) it's strongly recommended to show up live as much as possible.
There’s no formal certification required to become a poker dealer. What matters is your skill at the table. When Marc sees that you’re ready, you’ll get his seal of approval. and you’ll know you have the confidence and ability to walk into any audition fully prepared.
This course gives you the skills and knowledge you need to pass a real casino audition, as long as you take it seriously and commit to learning. While completing the course doesn’t guarantee a job (no course can), it prepares you to walk into an audition with confidence, knowing you’ve trained the right way.
There’s no official certification required to become a poker dealer. What matters is your performance at the table.
This course was created by Marc, a former casino shift manager who’s trained over 10,000 dealers and hired hundreds. If you complete the program and earn Marc’s seal of approval, you’ll know you’re ready.
His training reflects real industry standards, and thousands of students trained by Marc have gone on to pass auditions and start successful careers using exactly what’s taught here.
Traditional dealer schools often cost thousands of dollars, require in-person attendance, and follow rigid schedules that don’t work for everyone. True Poker Dealer offers a modern, flexible alternative: you can train entirely online, at your own pace without losing the benefit of mentorship and feedback, for a fraction of the price.
You’ll learn the exact same skills, follow casino-standard procedures, and get expert adjustment and guidance from someone who’s trained thousands of successful dealers, all without commuting, rearranging your life, or sitting in a crowded classroom.
