Dealer can expect whatever the hell he wants. He's either going to get what the young man wants to give him or nothing at all.

One would wonder why that young man is playing live 3/6 in the first place, though. If he's trying to make a living at it, rake and tips will make him -EV... and rake will do that alone if he stiffs the dealers along the way.

A young man most likely wouldn't be trying to make a living at this type of game. But a young man would likely be learning the game.

Lets pick a different game, lets pick 10/20. 1 big bet an hour playing live is a good winrate, the dealer see's a 200 dollar pot dragged, and expects 3-5 dollars in tip, WTF?

"If he's trying to make a living at it, rake and tips will make him -EV..."

Ya.... thats my point. The dealer expecting something he doesn't deserve severely decreases low stakes live player's winrate/makes them -EV.

Hence the reason I made this post, the idea of tipping a dealer is total B.S.

As for the dealer staring at a player when that player doesn't tip..... seriously, once again, all there is to say is WTF?
