Tips on Tips, please

You're an idiot. Casino's make more of a sng with 30% rake than they do with cash games.

I may be an idiot in your opinion, but you obviously have no clue on this one. Sorry - you're wrong.

[juanez]

It's very rare to correctly state anything when talking out of one's ass instead of speaking about something they actually know about.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If being blunt and honest is being a douchebag, then I guess I am.

My guess is that is that your guess is correct, based on the douchieness of your posts in this thread.

I do not like being [censored] over and get pissed off when I feel I'm being [censored] over.

WTF? You weren't the OP, were you? How did you get screwed over here?

If you think the juice for a particular tourney is too high, don't buy in. If you buy in anyway, don't rant about being "screwed over" - you VOLUNTARILY bought in. Nobody forces people to play tourneys. LMAO.

Your ranting about how you are a cheap asss when it comes to tipping dealers is so...well, predictable (do a search amigo). And you got negative responses....was that a surprise to you?

Please keep posting. You make me laugh and I like laughing. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Nice to know I'm talking to a person who doesn't know the basic quote function and has to triple post to make himself self-important.

Notice that I said that this is not a individual incident. Also, poker players have no choice on the games they want.

As a closing statement, my beef is not with tipping, it's with the house. If the house sng was only 10% rake, I would have no problem tipping $30-40 for the dealer.

Also, thanks for bringing this back from the dead. You are a troll.

The last time I won a 500.00 winner take all, I gave up 40 bucks for it. That rake is extremely high as well. But I can't see penalizing the dealer because the house is greedy.

Last time I checked, the dealer IS the house. The dealer is not your friend because he is sitting at the table any more than your opponents are. You're foolish to think otherwise, though that view is actively encouragesd to separate you from more of your money.

Rake = Net winnings ($450) - all expenses (buy-in + tip). Simple as that.

[IgorSmiles]

The rake is too high. But the house doesnt even like spreading these at the current rake. They will kill the game before lowering the rake unless they can justify some side issue that makes them money (player demand, bringing new players into the casino, etc).

Also, keep in mind, the game may take an hour but they have to lock up the table for longer than that. A cash game keeps going without down time.

Sngs make sense online, live they are good for satillites only. They arent practical for anyone, dealer, house or player.

I agree. By the time you are done tipping, there just isn't enough equity left.

You sir as a moron.

Better get your facts straight. The dealer WORKS for the house, they are not the house taking the rake and making money off the players by taking rake. IF you have such a problem with a casino making money, then you must have it that grocery stores make money, that your place of employment makes money and that we have a decent economy where people are out to make money. That dealer is probably making 5 or 6 bucks/hr of dealing, so a tip from me is definately in order for doing a good job.

Go with sykes and play on the internet. This thread was not intended to hear the criticism of a few trolls as to why others tip. I tipped because I wanted to, not because you didn't want me to. Where do you get off telling me what I can and can't do?

IF you dont want to tip, DONT [censored] DO IT! Just dont come on here and tell me why I shouldn't. The original poster asked how much, not if, why, who, how, ect...

So drop it and go cry to the other non tippers as I'm sure there are 100 more threads that you can troll dealing with the same issue.

Photo, well said...there is a place for a-holes like this: the internet. I am so tired of people thinking that when the house gets paid, the dealers get paid. This is the farthest thing from the truth. Trust me: dealers hate the house just as much as you do at times. The only ones getting "ripped off" or "f-ed over" in these situations are the ones who choose to play in these extremely high raked SnG's. I'm sorry, but anyone who playes live poker AND complains about having to tip, or openly talks about how they don't tip, is a complete jackass.

[Al_Capone_Junior]

I'd like to triple the sentiment here, anyone who openly talks about their non-tippage is a complete jerk and should be forcibly banned to the internet for life. Dealers work for their money so if you are too much of a cheap jerkoff a-hole to tip then please do the universe a favor and electricute yourself with a toaster or at least stay out of live cardrooms.
