Tipping
I know there's been a thousand threads on Tipping.. So why not another one.
I just wanted some opinions of my tipping philosophy and a simple response.. Either: A) Cheap Bastard, I hope you burn in hell! B) Stingy prick, cough up a little more dough there. C) That's good enough.. D) You'll never making good EV throwing away money like that. E) Is your name Barry Greenstein? Okay, now for how much I tip. I play either 2/4 or 3/6 limit at Taj and Borgata.. I will tip $1 for every $25 I win. ($50 pot = $2, $75 = $3, etc), I also tip $1 when the dealer leaves the table. Occaisionally, if I go on a rush and win a couple big pots in a row, I'll throw the dealer a red chip. I WILL NOT TIP IF THE POT IS SMALLER THAN $25. Some might consider this too cheap with my money,.. but I'm not there playing cards to support the dealers families. If somebody wants to throw $2 or $3 everytime they win a $25 pot, that's fine with me.. I don't care what you do with your money. But I get offended from people who get offended about poor tippers. I think my $1 for every $25 in the pot, and $1 as the dealer is leaving the table (whether I win a pot or not) is a very fair tip. Opinions? |

Re: Tipping
You'd save yourself money by just tipping $1 on every pot that you win--blind steals, monsters...make them all $1 and it'll be cheaper for you.

Re: Tipping
Really?? I would love to see some math behind that theory. There's not alot a ton of $50 pots in 2-4. |

Re: Tipping
True - it probably works out about the same.
I toke $0.50 for small $2/4 pots. I'd reconsider if Foxwoods dealers kept their tips. Occasionally with some remarkable hand (e.g. quad deuces dragging a decent pot) I'll tip $2-$2.50 at $4/8; I figure the overall drop in $ EV is made up for by the I'm-enjoying-myself-and-not-too-bad-a-cheapskate feeling EV. |

Re: Tipping
2/4 is a game played for fun, not profit. Tip already. At least move up to 5/10 where you can rationalize being a cheapass by saying youre actually trying to win money.

Re: Tipping
Sorry Igor, Disagree.. If I goto AC, I want to come back with more money than I leave with! I have more fun when I leave with money, then when I don't! (who Doesn't!) I don't see why I should throw away $100 in tips everytime I make a visit, when I'm only playing with 3 or 400 dollars. |

This is why I keep my stats in gross (pre-toke) numbers -- at least there's no incentive for cheapness to make my numbers better.

Re: Tipping
That's too much work, just tip $1 every pot. I don't tip blind steals unless I like the dealer.
