Tipping a buck a pot is just a built in cost of the game in the exact same nature the rake is. The only reason they don't make it a fixed amount like the rake is to give the option to people who want to make larger than standard tips.

Don't be a douchebag. Good dealers are becoming harder and harder to come by, and if people stop tipping them they are going to have less and less motivation to do a quality job.

Let me give you a story on why should you tip --

First of all, I tip because it's the right thing to do, I don't expect anything in return, but if this isn't enough ...

Was playing the other night, and won a pot pre-flop (didn't tip because it was <10). The very next hand, I won a second pot pre-flop, so I flipped the dealer a chip and told him that I didn't get him last hand. Dealer smiled and said, 'yeah, the last one was small'.

A minute or two later, the dealer told me about a poker rate that I was unaware of, and that would save me $40 on my bill, if I spoke to the desk before midnight.

Long and the short of it -- if being a mensch isn't enough, do the right thing because maybe he dealer can help you

I also tip floor people and the board girls. Not often, and not a lot, but enough that I sometimes hear about especially good tables. Tipping can be way +EV.

Yeah, add to that, the chip runner, and of course, the nice young thang who brings you your beverages.

What's a board girl? Is that like when you bring your wife and she busts out playing video poker and says "I'm bored, let's go home"? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Seriously, though, what's a board girl?

The girls who run the wait-list board. At Canterbury, the lists can be two-plus hours long. A couple of very good board people can really help keep the room running well and shorten the wait.
