I can tell you this... I make $5.50 per hour.. tips range from 7 to 10 bucks per "down". Downs are 30 minutes.. on a good night I might work 4 to 5 downs.. slow nights maybe 3 during an 8 hour shift..

Last week my tips ranged from 99 bucks to 20 bucks.. specifically 80, 70, 40, 20, 99... NOW.. take 10% out of that prior to my cash out for the floormen... so I took home 72, 63, 36, 18, and 89.00... Then I am taxed on that..

If I could make 80K or more a year whoopie.. but it ain't happening.. figure I might make around 20K this year dealing..

This week I work 4 days... so that is less money plus one of those is a day shift.. I know the day shift dealers have been averaging about 20 bucks per 8 hour shift...

We don't get tipped after every pot.. some never tip.. no matter what they win.. I give them the same service.. but it is nice to get the tips.. and I thank you
