Your new WSOP champ is a chump.

3% of the WSOP cash purse is withheld for dealer tips


a $100 tip is fairly generous and unnecessary considering he is already tipping 3% of his 7.5 million.

ive read that the prize cut for dealers was 3% this year, that number could have been off however. i also read taht dealers were already making like $40/hr for dealing this event since the tip purse is so large. i think the dealers should shut the hell up those greedy scumbags.

not at all, it's a fair amount. but $100 is just horrible. you want to call the dealers liars that's fair too i guess.
and if you don't think they have access to that kind of info you're just wrong. Info like that spreads thru a casino in about 10 minutes

It's starting to sound like you deal there and are just butt-hurt.

these dealers should shut the hell up. what were they expecting a $75,000 tip? if you are basing tipping on a percentage of the winnings then that figure is 1% of what he won. there is no way that the dealers deserve that. i would think that tipping prolly 1k to each dealer would seem sufficient. the dealer is just doing their job. unless they went out of theie way to be extremely nice to me i don't see any reason why they should be complaining about how much the tip should be.

edit: and after reading more of this thread i am now even further convinced that the dealers are just complaining too much. the house already took out 3% to them. im assuming they get paid a regular wage and this is a bonus. like someone said they are making $40 an hour already to do a brainless job so i would just shut up if i were them.

i don't think it's about the bottom line as much as it is about the gesture. Greg(as was posted) tipped 50k, a fine amount that shows he at least aknowledged the work done. 100 bucks is just cruel

Like I said, how much should you tip, on top of the $1.1 million, so you're not a chump. First prize is 15% of the prize fund, so the first prize winner has already tipped $165,000 to the dealers, as his share of the $1.1M.

After I've had $165,000 taken out of my prize for the dealers, I wouldn't like being called cheap for not giving more.

So I was close...You are in the industry and feel you would have deserved more for simply showing up to work.

I'm not allowed tips of any kind.

You're more of a chump complaining about other people's generosity, or lack of generosity.

If somebody gave me $100 for shuffling some cards and dealing them, i'd be pretty friggen happy.

My question. Why should I care?
