Default Re: \"Jesus\" advises Yang to stiff dealers?

[ QUOTE ]
Anyone who sits inside and does nothing but shuffle cards and pass them out to others should not bitch about $15/hr,much less $50/hr.

Note- I realize having a bad dealer can ruin a table, but that is on Harrah's, it is SO easy to deal.

I might agree for a $1/2 or $2/5 game, but what about when the stakes start getting really high? What about for $50/$100 or $500/$1000 games? To say that you are going to pay someone $15/hour to run a game where tens of thousands, possibly millions are at stake seems a little short-sighted to me.

Same thing with the WSOP final table. The money for the final nine was over $22M total, with 9th place getting $500K and first over $8M. I would think that you would want to place the most experienced dealers at the tables as the tournament is winding down and they should be rewarded for their efforts. Why would you want to deal the final table of the WSOP for $15/hour? There's not much upside there -- if you screw up you are going to face tons of criticism and if you do everything perfectly it will just be what you are supposed to do and you'll take your mediocre pay and go home.

I'd like to see the dealers that deal the tables towards the end of the tournament make more than those dealing on the first days. Make it competitive so that the best dealers are dealing the final tables (which I assume happens already anyway) and reward them for their success.
