Re: Who the best and worst tippers?? (For Dealers, but anyone is welco
[ QUOTE ]
If you want "to insure prompt service" I suggest tipping the dealers. They don't have to deliver a fast game if they don't want to. [/ QUOTE ] Aren't tips meant to work the other way around? If someone wants a tip, he/she should deliver prompt service no matter what their line of work is. I think it used to be this way, but somewhere along the line people starting expecting to get tips and when they don't they figure that the person that didn't tip them doesn't deserve prompt service. I think they do have to deliver a fast game, even if they don't want to because that's what they're paid for. Unfortunately, because of "expecting to get tips", bosses will also expect that their employees get tipped and to increase their profit they renamed the tips "to be part of their income" so they could decrease the pay which basically means that a lot of people actually get underpaid. Sorry for the long sentence. In my opinion tips should never be seen as part of your income by whoever pays your salary, but try telling the bosses that. Maybe the casino system in the Netherlands isn't so bad. The casino's are property of the government, with all the profit going to the state, and the employees actually get a pretty decent paycheck, even without tips. Peter

Re: Who the best and worst tippers?? (For Dealers, but anyone is welcome
Someone not tipping doesn't equate to committing robbery. Generally speaking I like dealers and I do tip when I play in a B&M place. Attitudes like yours convinces me even more that playing online is far superior to playing at a B&M place. Good god if you like how much tip you, you feel it's justified to rip me off? Shame on you.

Re: Who the best and worst tippers?? (For Dealers, but anyone is welco
how about they deliver a fast game because it's their [censored] job?
how is it not extortion to say "pay me or i slowdown the game" How would we react if macdonalds had a jar labeled "put money in here or we take an extra 10 minutes to prepare your order" when i was teaching gymnastics should i ignorre the kids of parents that didn't give me extra money? should a plumber [censored] up your toilet because you don't give him extra money? the list goes on and on and on.

I think people in low limit games tip waaay too much though. I think you should tip 1$ for average size pots and 2$ for big pots. I see people tipping 5$ for pots that arent even 10BBs... [/ QUOTE ] I tip one dollar on any pot I win that sees a flop/turn for the most part. I usually play 2-5 NL or 5-10 limit if that makes a difference. I don't see why I should tip more than a buck but that's just me.

Boy, you really are a f***ing moron. [/ QUOTE ] I can assure you that Jordan is absolutely NOT a moron. I don't understand why he's getting flamed for asking why people tip. Isn't the impulse to question authority and convention one of the prerequisites for living an independant and intellectualy satisfying life? In fact, I dare say that the impulse to question convention is what inspires the vast majority of successful gamblers and poker players on this forum. And for the record, I'm a young white male who tips very generously. It's good karma. Sharing prosperity leads to more prosperity. As a specific example of this, I remember one 2/4 hand at Commerce where my opponent had two pair and I had an overpair. I didn't realize that the board had paired and he had been counterfeited until a few moments after I had already mucked my cards face down (but they hadn't been returned into the pile of cards.) As soon as I flipped them back up, the dealer awarded me the pot despite the other player's objections. Had I been a tightwad that never tipped, I have no doubt that I would not have been awarded this pot. Like I said, good karma.

Thank you.
If you get a buck per pot be happy or else learn a real skill. Jeebus. Why is it that people think they are entitled to a free ride in this country?? GW included.

He isn't getting flamed for asking the question. When he asked the question, it was suggested that he search and read the four million previous threads on this topic. He then turned into a big douchebag and spammed all of the posts he read back into this thread to demonstrate that he actually read them, then got indignant when it was pointed out that this is rude, moronic behavior. THAT is why he's getting flamed.
