"Official" Live at the Bike thread (10/26) (50/100 NL)

I deal for a company in Houston that does Poker tournaments. As we do get paid to deal the tournament we actually make more money usually from TIPS and the tips range from 5-10% of the amount won. If multiple places pay out most players tip that 5-10% based on the amount the won by finishing in the money. I did deal a tourney where the entry was $100 and 1st place was $10,000 and the 10 dealers received no tips. It is the same theory as tipping a waitress yes they do get paid hourly but tips are a huge portion of their income. It is also comparable to tipping a dealer at cash game they do get paid by the hour (usually) but most people tip every hand they win.

Shirley or Bart, there is a thread on here arguing which has the higher variance and suckouts. Omaha H/L or Hold'em (assume limit) Any ideas for the answer? I always thought Omaha h/l has less variance cause of the splits despite less info about your opponents hands(more combos in their hands)

Over under on how much Habib will tilt if he gets sucked out for his 5K rebuy.

Is Diablo becoming a tight player [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
What's going on there?

Very strange for Diablo to be playing like this.

Just tuned in. Where the hell are the PokerBlue girls?

I have heard (someone can correct me if I'm wrong) that the 3% is further divided among dealers, floor, other tournament staff, etc. My understanding is that if someone leaves a tip "for the dealers", then it doesn't get further split up among the rest of the staff.

waaaaaaaaaah.

A player can do whatever the [censored] he wants to do with his chips...if there are other players waiting, he can leave whenver he wants.
