In “casino-style” Hold’em, the dealer uses a white plastic puck roughly 2 inches in diameter, called the button, to indicate who the dealer would be if the game were being played without a professional dealer. Usually, the puck has the word “dealer” printed on each side. Instead of simply passing the deck one player to the left after each hand, as you do in home poker games, you sit still while the professional dealer moves the button one spot to the left after each hand, and then deals. Why bother with this step? For one thing, no one has to wonder, or ask, whose deal it is. More important, the “dealer” (the player sitting behind the button) acts last in Hold’em in each round of betting and thus has a significant positional advantage, because (among other things) that player has more information available to him when it’s his turn to bet than the players who had to act first. The use of the button ensures that each player—though never actually dealing the cards—gets a chance to enjoy that advantageous position once in each round of hands. And of course with eight or more players at the table, next-to-last is a pretty good spot to be in too. Best odds
The button also enables us to determine the order of play for each hand. The player seated to the left of the button acts first (except on the very first betting round), and the player who owns the button acts last (with that same first-round exception). We turn to those exceptions next. By the way, I recommend that you use a button even when you’re playing Hold’em in your home poker game, and dealers are truly dealing. It helps remind people who dealt, and whose turn it is to deal next, and I think it also makes for an easier transition to casino Hold’em.

In most poker games, including Texas Hold'em, the deal rotates clockwise. When you're playing at home, you simply change dealers after each hand, moving the deal around the table clockwise, one player to the next, but in a casino there is a professional dealer at the table who deals every hand. The dealer will shuffle, deal, keep the bets right, and help control the tempo of the game. A good dealer will keep things moving, both by dealing quickly and reliably and by diplomatically encouraging action from the slower players.
