What is your name? Do you ever deal limit? I've been out there twice and it seemed like the people playing for fun who were "gambling it up" at the 2/4 last Wednesday were tipping much more regularly than the rocks at my 3/6 table Friday. I've been pretty pleased with the dealers and other employees out there so far. Waitresses are a little slow, but they seemed to be more than a little overworked. Didn't bother me since I only had one pop in my 2 trips, but some of the other players were getting a little upset about having to wait so long for their beer.

Too bad I couldn't win a hand to save my life Friday [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I honestly think I went through 4 or 5 dealers without winning a single hand, despite a few good starting hands. Oh well. -$70 was a lot better than it could've been.

Look forward to playing there again. I'll probably try to get out there at least once a week (preferably more) until I move south for the summer.

Secondly, many of these players have worked in the service industries themselves at some point, so they tip good. What goes around comes around.

Absolutely true, my father has lived the bar industry for the past 35 years as bartender, owner, and DJ. And, he is a great tipper.

Ever notice when you goto a restaurant with friends and the bill comes and you all decide to pay your "share" that if you drop down Thirty for your $18 share, there still doesn't come out enough for a good tip at the end.
