lets just say it will be $30 per down. my roomate was sent home on day 5 with a total of 38 downs

$30/down is $60/hour FOR EACH HOUR WORKED. I work a physically demanding job with limited hours (granted, it's mostly for fun) and I don't bitch that I don't get paid for hours I don't work. Perhaps Harrah's should schedule dealers more efficiently so that dealers aren't getting so few downs. I'm perfectly content paying no more than $60/hour, thanks.

This is EXACTLY why I did not want to quote any amounts! This is absolutly absurd. y'all are just as bad as alot of the dealers i know, never happy with what you have, never happy with the answers to your burning questions, only happy when you are putting someone else down. I AM SOOOOO SORRY that I enjoy my job that is so freaking easy and that I make too much money. You dont like it? dont play the game!

Uhh, no. I'm just going to keep up tipping my $1/pot (as opposed to the losing players who tip $10 for catching a gutshot in a $70 4/8 pot), and be content that my tipping habits make dealers $30-35/hour for live games.

I know you love your job, and I know you have to deal with some [censored] who berate you for no reason. I am not one of those people. I blame the dealers for nothing other than procedural errors/laziness, I tip reasonably well, and I am helpful about tossing my cards in far enough, and doing small things which make the dealer's job easier.

Dealing well isn't easy, but it's not rocket science. It is, in real world terms, semi-skilled labor. I don't think it merits $50-60 an hour in pay, and thus I will tip accordingly.
