I can correctly state that these games are making more money for the house and maybe making more money for the dealer at $40 tip.

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

I'm not talking out of my ass. I'm talking with the information given to me by the original poster. Now, if you would get off your [censored] pedastool and come down to earth, you can plainly see that you are being ripped off.

[IgorSmiles]

I'm not being ripped off because I dont play these. We agree, the rake is a huge ripoff. But you are missing the point.

The house doesnt even want to spread these because they are more trouble than they are worth and yes, they make them less money than if they were to open a 10/20 table in its place. They spread these games for the tourists because the demand is there.

The dealers generally dont get tipped $40. If they were, the floor wouldnt have to prod the winner to cough it over.

Then she was very aggressive and pressured me to tip the dealer, and said the average tip for such a game is $40. I was obviously going to tip the dealer but is $40 a little much for such a game?

I took 3rd/165 in the Taj Saturday morning ($100+$20) tourney 3 or 4 weeks ago. Got 10% ($1650) for my finish. I've always read that it's pretty standard to tip 2-4% after tournament cashes. I don't play much in casinos, but I've won/placed in my share of tournaments, and generally give 3 to 5 percent. So I get my money, give the floorman $50 (a hair over 3%), and he looks at me and is like "Ummm, people usually give more than this". WTF?? I'd never heard an employee say anything like that before. I ended up giving $20 more so I didn't look like an [censored], but isn't that out of line for the floorman? Is this standard MO at the Taj?

I would have taken my $50 back. I really don't have to give anything to anyone. They should be glad I'm giving them something for doing their JOBS.

Damn, I took first in a 3 table $30+10 rebuy tournament (paid top 3), won $990 ($920 after entry and add-on) and I tipped $90 for the dealers, who pool tips.
Based on comments here it will be less next time. I thought 10% was normal, but I guess it is more like 5%.

[WallStTo5thSt]

Just for the record:

This was my first (and last) sng at the Taj. I was willing to give up the 30% rake because I had been knocked out of the 100 + 20 Sat morning tournament and was waiting for friends to finish. In addition to the rake, the blinds move up far too quickly to make this game anything other than a crap shoot. I strongly recommend against playing in this game.

Why do people even care what or how much other people tip??
And Sykes you sound like a real douchebag, and I don't even disagree with all of your comments, you just come off rude and obnoxious.

If being blunt and honest is being a douchebag, then I guess I am. However, I'm a very nice guy who's easy-going but I do not like being [censored] over and get pissed off when I feel I'm being [censored] over.

Is that what you get when you poop on your foot?
