Q for Dealers: Pool Your Tips or Keep Your Own?

Absolutely keep your own. That way the dealers are motivated to get better, and the best dealers make the most money. There's no other system that makes any sense to me. Pooled tips allow major slackers a free ride on the good performance of others, while individual tips force everyone to get better and better.

Note that poker is basically the only game this system would work for, craps, blackjack etc need pooled tips, because certain of those games tend to get nuch more tips.

This is why I won't tip in a place where it's pooled. Why subsidize the slackers who don't truly earn tips?

That sucks. All that means is that the players who tip are subsidizing your poker play--we're all paying for a service.
