Was I cheap?
1-2NL NYC FULL RING
I won a 450 pot with AA The guy called with TPNK I tipped the dealer 5$ People critiziced me. Was that cheap? I should have tipped the donkey for calling 450 with a pair of Queens and an 8 kicker. I think 5 was enough. Thoughts? |

Re: Was I cheap?
I haven't played in any of these NYC clubs. Are dealers paid anything other than tips?

Re: Was I cheap?
If these guys aren't getting anything other than tips I would probably be inclined to tip them a bit more than I might otherwise.
I don't think $5 is cheap but I probably would have given more. |

Those dealers are probobly making 30-40 bucks an hour dealing in those clubs, especially if they get big tips for big pots.
Of course they are also risking arrest, which would suck. |

Re: Was I cheap?
It is my understanding that the dealers at these clubs are not paid anything. I would also guess that the vast majority of them pay little or no taxes.
Regardless, $5 for any pot is a generous tip. I don't think I have ever tipped more than $5 at a NY club and I have certainly taken down pots in excess of $500. My tips are generally $1 to $5 depending on how I am running and whether the dealer is good. |

The dealer wasn't responsible for you winning the pot was he? I can only find fault in you not buying the table a round after that [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Was I cheap?
Not even close to cheap...I would say you were generous in fact. I would have tossed him $1.

Re: Was I cheap?
If you were critiziced for tipping the deal $5, tell the other players. When you win a pot you can tip them what ever you want, but until you win a pot, don't tell me how to tip. It is your choice to tip, very well or not. I think 5 is a good tip for one hand. MHO
