Dealers most hated and stiff report

I dont go to casinos at all anymore because of online poker, but when I used to go, I used to ask the dealer how much I should tip. No one ever told me anything.

Also when I would win a pot of like 40 bucks at 3/6 high low, I would tip about 5 bucks out of it. I would rarely tip on small pots, maybe if it was past 20 I would tip 1 or 2 bucks.

Thats just how I would tip, but then again I am still new when it comes to playing at casinos. I also dont know if thats too much or to little, the dealers never answered when I asked how much I should tip.

You should tip the amount you are comfortable tipping.

He's correct bro. 100% truth in his post. You may not believe it, but that's the way it is.

That is reprehensible. I'll take your word for it.

But if his comfort zone is tipping what is typical or customary (to avoid being a stiff OR being ostentatious) he probably should ask a few players rather than dealers. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I won a pot the other day I probably shouldn't have because the player in the one seat didn't tip, and didn't protect his hand with a chip.
whoops.
I didn't tip that hand,it felt a little wierd. but tipped more the next hand I won and at the end of the down.

I saw an accident like that once. Player in the one seat is bitching at the dealer in a tournament. A couple hands later the player gets all-in and the dealer accidently grabs his cards out of his hands and mucks them.

SAWEEET BABY!! I dont have the balls to do that tho.

I have "accidentally" mucked a stiff's cards that werent protected. Once a stiff and a good tipper were heads up in 20-40 game. Big pot. Good tipper bets, stiff calls, but good tipper thinks the stiff folded and throws his cards in. Guess what? Good tipper got his hand back and won, stiff went nuts, stiff got thrown out, I couldnt stop laughing. Once a stiff raised with the nuts, a good tipper reraised, stiff doesnt realize reraise and just turns hand up. I killed his hand and nothing he could do since he threw his cards in without calling. This is all very amusing but could be avoided by just giving up that buck. These cats would have to stiff me a very long time to get even for those pots they lost. If there is a decision to made, the floor will almost always go against the stiff. It doesnt matter if its right or wrong because "the floorpersons decision is final". You might just want to ask yourself "Is it worth me not tipping?"

this is why I stick to online poker...seriously, I'm a good guy and a former waiter, so I'll treat dealers well, but it does suck to have to pay that extra expense(not to mention gas/hotel room/etc.)

Thats pretty much what went through my mind, I was thinking, I dont want to look like a douche bag if I dont at least match the average tip. No one ever told me anything though, just sometimes one or two players would be like you have to tip after I won a big pot. When I asked dealers most gave me a look of wtf, like I was talking in martian or something.

A dealer will never tell a new casino player what is the standard tip. They hope you will tip based on a percentage of the pot, because you are accustomed to tipping percentages in other areas.

This tipping post stuff is getting SO DAMN OLD---
A tip is given for extra service, not just for DEALING THE DANG CARDS MAN...
I tip most dealers because they keep the game runnning and do not let it bog down. I also tip dealers who get the cards out fast---
I do not tip dealers who want to sit and tell the table HOW GOOD THEY ARE AS A PLAYER or how they lost to a hand the other day for a bad beat story----
Best way to get tips-- SHUT UP AND DEAL---
In the bigger game--well SO WHAT---you picked this as a job DEAL WITH IT---

I'm pretty sure I would have killed him if I was playing at the table at the time, or saw it from across the room.

IN THE NUTS AND THEN HAVE THEIR NUTS KICK EACHOTHERS NUTS RIGHT NUT KICK LEFT NUT AND VICE VERSA UNTIL EVERYONE NUTS HAVE BEEN KICKED AND THEN KICK NUTS KICK NUTS NUTKICKING KICK NUTS BUY A BAG OF CORN NUTS AND KICK THAT AND THEN FIND A GUY WITH THE LAST NAME GNUTTS (SILENT G) AND KICK HIM PREFERABBLY IN THE NUTS AND FINALLY KICK MYSELF RIGHT IN THE NUTS

Also telling a player how much to tip can be viewed as soliciting a toke.
