Default Re: Dealers most hated and stiff report

Thank you for your point.

I believe courtesy is what is owed. A token of courtesy. Unless of course you want to be disliked. Then tip nothing.

As an aside, I won a local tourney one time, the prize was about $1200. I did not make a deal and won it fair and square.

I tipped the bartender and waitress a combined $60. I was told that was not enough and $100 was expected, since most players chop at the end and in that case, $100 was the rule.

Needless to say, I was a little put off by the "gratitude"

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?"

I saw farha spit in a dealers face. I saw it. I would of killed him if he did it to me

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.

You people think violence is the answer to all your problems, are you realy human at all?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope - but its the solution to things like this. Call me names, insult my mother, be a dick - but you spit on me you are gonna find it hard to chew your food for a while.

[/ QUOTE ]

You can only be a man with an answer like that.

FYP

[/ QUOTE ]

If you think it is manly to beat people up and kill them, think again or grow up. I think they should have age restrictions on this forum, 18 and over only. No 14 year olds.

[/ QUOTE ]

Amazingly, by the time I was 18 I fully understood hyperbole. Perhaps it was the superior American educational system?

I think this is pretty silly and hurts the game. I can't stand the people who don't tip, but a fair game is pretty essential to what we do. If I tip a dealer or a floorperson consistently and I suspected they issued biased decisions as a result of tips this is one of the very few situations where I would consider not tipping them, because I can't support this kind of behavior.

if you don't feel responsible for costing some players money why do you feel entitled to be compensated by the players whom win money?

I'm getting that feeling and it makes me sad [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. I can see dealers being frustrated but [censored] with the integrity of the game because someone didn't tip is pretty f'd up.

Default Re: From a dealer: VERY LONG

Recently a guy in our room who is a total and absolute stiff(I mean 100% stiff) was in a $20-40 Omaha/8 or better game when I was dealing. On the river he turns over his hand and says something like "I got the same straight. Chop it up". But I notice he is thinking they both have the same low straight, when he doesnt notice he also has a higher straight for all of the high end of the pot.

I had an easy shot at "getting even with him as nobody at the table was paying attn. However, keeping with the integrity of the game, I forced myself to give him 3/4's of the pot, not 1/2. AS MUCH AS IT HURT TO DO SO!!

I still got the big airball from him. And boy did I want to say something.

Thats alright tho. If I am in his game, I just toke off whatever chips he put into any pot I am involved with him and win.
