I was at the bellagio playing 4/8 holdem and a dealer threw back my .50 tip. I refused to tip any dealers after that insult.

So one waiter or bartender insults your pathetic ego and you won't tip any other waiters or bartenders either? Douche....

I am being tipped for doing a good job. If I do good job I sould be tipped.

Tipping is one of the worst scams in modern history. If you do not make enough on your job, get an education and get a higher paid job or learn to live with low income. I hope Penn & Teller bring this up sometime, coz it is bulls*t!

i am by no means a stingy tipper, i tip well, but there are a bunch of things that piss me off about some dealers:

1. what difference does it make if you dealt me a 1000$ pot or a 100$ one? if a pot was complicated and involved a sidepot, etc, and was handled well i will tip extra for that but other wise why should a dealer be tipped in proportion to the size of the pot?

It seems intuitive that when you are dealing with higher sums of people's money, you would want to give the dealer a bigger incentive to do his job correctly. Otherwise, I agree.

1. Im pretty sure that they dont want more money perportional to the pot. They just want to be treated fairly ad thrown a buck every once and awhile.

why don't you answer my question?

How much do dealers want to make? I'd say $10 - $15 and hour is more than enough. I can't accept that they should make $50 + per hour.

If you don't like the pay get another job...the problem is most of these monkeys can't earn more in any other job. Take what you get and stop f'ing crying. If you want more of the players money...play against them and see how much you can get moron,

no they want a buck every time...they expect top make $50+ an hour. That unreasonable for a job that a monkey can do.
They don't even shuffle any more. I suggest tipping $.50 every other hand..,if you don't like it get another job!

Default Nothing like being unbiased.

You should be more forthwright from the start about your motivations for making judgements, in the future.

You are way off on your numbers. Most dealers can only get about 11-12 half hour downs per eight hour shift (or fewer 40 minute downs). There are plenty of walks (blind steals) where few expect to be tipped. Most dealers realize they get stiffed by some players. Most rooms require that a dealer kick back about two or three dollars per down for runners, floor, etc.

Typical dealer might make $130 to $180 per day. A few will do worse or better. Only one in a thousand makes the kind of money (over eight hours) you are talking about.

I was talking to a Borgata dealer and he was bitching about how much Al Ardebili tipped this year (30k) vs. Negreanu's tip of around 60k last year. He said that difference in tip made the hourly $50 this year vs $100 per hour last year. (obviously just for the tourney)

Cry me a river.

This is why I will rake $10 for each pot you win. Its not good for me but the casino loves it. If you dont like it, go to another casino.
