Re: Dealers most liked and generosity report
I think its kinda silly that you're marking some of these players off for one time they got mad at your or something. I mean, even the nicest players are bound to get upset sometimes at even the best dealers.

Re: The other side of the coin
[ QUOTE ]
Do dealers that consistantly make errors due to a poor work ethic deserve to be tipped the same as their better performing counter parts? [/ QUOTE ] Of course not, this is where palyers can make a difference. In general palyers tip based on winning pots not on the service they receive. I have seen very few players tip on service. I have seen palyers use poor service as a reason to not tip, but good service is rarely rewarded. |

The size of the stakes, or the size of the pot compared to the stakes should have no bearing on the tip size whatsoever. The mechanics and service involved in pushing a $10 pot or a $10,000,000 pot are the same. The stake size is only relevent to the players that put up their own hard earned money. While I agree that many players use bad service as a reason not to tip, I've seen many dealers use pot size as a reason to be ungrateful. Throwing a tip back at someone or coming onto a public board and outing a high limit, high profile, player as a cheapskate, is in my opinion, highly inappropriate and unprofessional. I'm NOT talking about Bigfishead, for the record. I think his stories were just amusing responses to a question. |

Dealers should generally keep the size of their tokes to themselves; however, I know that around 2000 a newspaper reporter watched the big game at Bellagio and outed the stiffs in the newspaper. After this column ran in the paper the players in that game decided that as a group they shoudl take care of the dealer. |

This guy deserved a tip...
The other day, I was playing in the 20/40 NL game at Commerce.
Some guy bet $500 on the flop, another guy raised him $2500, they were heads up. The guy who bet first counts his chips, he has like $5000 left, and then starts to stack them. He then aggressively shoves them into the middle of the table, with enough force that they begin to topple over into the pot. Amazingly the dealer, with the stub still in his hand, quickly grabs the chips that were beginning to topple into the pot and shoves the guys stack away so as to separate the main pot from his reraise bet without a single chip being displaced into the main pot. I immediately threw him a few dollars and I wasn't even involved in the pot, he totally deserved it. |
