Tipping :

In a cardroom where the dealers all split the tips, does anyone not tip?

(I am not a stiff btw)

At Caesars IN where I play, tips are split. It sucks because some dealers are awesome, and others are awful. I usually just tip the good ones.

At Foxwoods the dealers also split the tips. I tip the same there as at other casinos (i.e. on all but the smallest pots), since the dealers still depend on their tips whether they are shared or not.

The thing to kkeep in mind about Foxwoods, is that all of the dealers of ALL games share tips. So your tip is going to the Pai-Gaw dealers as awell as the poker dealers.

I play in an NYC cardroom and I will wait to tip the better dealers while they are not sharing (they share some hours and are induvidual some hours).

I tip the same amount regardless of the room policy. Unless I hit a high hand or something with a couple hundred bonus. Then I really hook up the keep your own dealer.

I don't agree with people not tipping just because the tips are pooled. That is a poor excuse. If you are going to tip, do so with a smile, if not just keep quiet and not give a BS reason why you are being cheap.
