Cooke's question

Seriously Mike,

I understand not tipping a lot, but NEVER? How hard would it be to toss a buck on the exceptionally big pots? I just would not want that kind of karma and hostility.

would you prefer the casino take an extra dollar from the pot each time to pay the dealers so that dealers have less incentive to do a good job (and get your dollar anyway)? you must play somewhere where there's excellent dealers, because if you have played with bad dealers, you wouldn't like it. while there's positive ev in being a stiff at the card table, there may be positive ev in filling up your gas tank and driving away without paying as well. I'm guessing that you probably have an illegal cable box and park in the handicap spot when you think you can get away with it.

"there may be positive ev in filling up your gas tank and driving away without paying as well."


hey that's a good idea!


thanks for the TIP!


(haha! get it! tip! ha!)

"Mr. Pink."


"Mr. Pink? Why not?"


"He don't tip."


"He don't tip?? Whaddaya mean you don't tip?"


"He don't believe in it."


"Shaddup! What do you mean, you don't believe it? C'mon, cough up a buck, ya cheap bastard. I paid for your goddammed breakfast."


"OK, since you paid, I'll throw in, but NORMALLY, I would never do this."


"Never mind what you NORMALLY would do."
