Default Re: Anyone that doesnt tip the dealer?

I have a horrible feeling I'm being trolled. If so, I will congratulate you in advance [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] But I'll make a serious attempt at a reply anyhoo.

Why should I constantly tip a dealer all night long?

How about because they're in the service industry, and their wages are poor in anticipation that they will be tipped?

Now I don't play live that much but If i was to constantly tip the dealer I would probably be shelling out probably $500-$1,000 a year in tips.

You "don't play much" but you are winning 500-1000 pots a year? Assuming you win 7% of all your hands, that's up to 14,200 hands played, or over 470 hours a year.

Besides, amount paid is not the point. I will wager you spend much more in a year tipping the wait staff at restaurants. For the sake of consistency if nothing else you really should stop tipping them too.
