Default Re: Pooled Tips - Evidence that its bad

[ QUOTE ]
With these proprietary games and with baccarat the average tips per night can be small but when a tip comes it is usually larger. Conversely, blackjack and poker have steady tips from the half dollar on some blackjacks and the $1 from a pot in the poker room. By pooling tips, some of our dealers can make up for a night stuck at bad tables which is not our fault. Our inexperienced staff limits the tables we can deal at.

If they are using pit dealers to deal poker I think it is safe to say that all the "poker" dealers qulaify as bad there. THe people in this thread are talking specifically about poker, pit dealing is another matter entirely. Virtually all pits pool their tips, they have different ways of doing it at differnt places, but I only know of one pit that keeps their own.
