Re: How long do I withhold tips? Dealer mistake costs me $1800. (long)

Bullpucky happens. I've had the same thing happen to me. If the dealer is just a schmuck who doesn't give a damn about poker, who sits around, waiting to get tipped, don't tip for a while.

On the rare occasion I do play blackjack in this town, it is always downtown at the plaza or four queens. I was born during the day, but not yesterday.

Re: Soft Play (Collusion) in Tournaments

Preferential soft playing is collusion, not "maintaining the status quo." When you won't bet against your buddies, but you all play hard against the rest, you are cheating and should be banned. The...

comment on vegas floors/tipping + new thead - tracking

Good points. If these casinos have lengthy waiting lists for much of the day all the time, they should expand their poker rooms. Seems obvious to me.
