Re: How to handle a pissed off dealer
[ QUOTE ]
This is the problem with tipping. Pretty soon, these people take it as an entitlement, and get all uppity if they don't feel someone tips 'enough'. Remember, tipping is a *gratuity* - and as such totally voluntary. And also, tipping is always, always -EV. [/ QUOTE ] You know what, as a dealer i don't get upset if a player doesn't tip me on a pot. That seems real petty to me. But as a player I don't get upset if the cards don't land directly in my hand and I have to reach out a little to get them. Seems really petty to me. |

[/ QUOTE ] And as a player, I think the "Dealers can do no wrong" posts from dealers don't help the situation. Read his post. It was clear that the dealer was tossing short. Not as an accident. Face facts. There are some incompetent, petty, rude, and otherwise "bad" dealers out there. And when dealers like you come to their defense, it shows that you really don't care about the job, just the tips. |

Get your cards.
Look at them. When you fold, put them where the dealer dealt them. Let him reach. |

Take a walk until the dealer's down is done. If you figure you'll be playing 6-8 hours more, you'll still have lots of hands ahead of you. Taking breaks (especially those spent strolling around the Wynn!) is usually a good idea in a long session.

Get used to reaching out to get your cards, and never tip that ungrateful bastard again.

Re: How to handle a pissed off dealer
It depends how short. If it was really short I would politely ask the dealer to pitch the cards a little closer to me. If he didn't, I wouldn't tip him for the rest of the trip. Although, I'm not sure why you sitffed him originally.

Like evrybody else pointed out, tiny pot. On a more basic point, since tipping is 100% voluntary, the dealer is way out of line for taking any adverse action. I've posted this before, but I worked for a long time in the restaurant business and understand that tipping is important. However, when I managed restaurants the service staff understood one thing. If anyone did anything to make a customer feel uncomfortable because of how little was tipped, that employee would be fired immediately. |

Awesome dude. That's *exactly* what we need - a little less mollycoddling, and a little more nut-kicking. |
