Barbara Hausman knows how to turn the odds in her favor. The 48-year-old real estate agent played in the Ladies' World Series of Poker last year, her first major tournament, and placed in the top 9 percent.Now, she's raising the stakes, hoping to try her hand as a professional poker dealer.

"It's a ground-floor opportunity," said Hausman, of Delray Beach, who just graduated from the Casino Dealer's Academy in Hollywood. "The writing on the wall is that there will eventually be full-scale gaming in Florida."
