Re: How much would you tip on HSP?
Are they tipping at all? I havn't noticed.
I'm sure the dealers are being adequetly compensated. I can't imagine them being paid their standard casino wages.

Re: How much would you tip on HSP?
Will the dealers get royalties from reruns of the shows?

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I'm sure they get paid pretty well. So far this season (at the Palms), they've been using who I think is their Senior Dealer or something. He's the dealer in pretty much every Palms event you can find on TV. I'm not sure what the players are tipping, but I thought I heard somewhere in season 2 that the players had stacks of red $5 chips for tipping.

Re: How much would you tip on HSP?
If you look closely you will see stacks of redbirds to the side for tips among many players chips...I noticed it during the first season...this is something a lot of high stakes players do...buy chips that are not part of their table stakes and are only for tipping.

Re: How much would you tip on HSP?
I tip more at higher stakes and bigger pots. Why the [censored] not? The difference between $1 and $5 is much more to the dealer working for tips than to me playing 5/10 NL or whatever.

[/ QUOTE ] Most pros do not...why? Because it's all about making money and to tip more just because you took down a bigger pot in their eyes is counterproductive. I know working pros here who play $20/$40 and up who never tip more than $1.00 regardless. And most dealers will tell you they get tipped better at the lower stakes than they do at higher stakes for this very reason.

Re: How much would you tip on HSP?
Although I have done so many times, I do not see why a larger tip is expected as pot sizes grow in size. The money at stake should not determine the size of a tip. $1 may not seem like much, but it adds up very quickly as each hour of play is logged. If I were to toke $2/pot won at 5/10NL, I would be tipping 100% more than I would toke at $1/pot won. In other words, @ 2 pots/hour @ 40/hrs a week for 48 weeks... I would be tipping $7680 instead of $3840. That is a lot of money especially since I do not have the benefits the dealer posseses... job security, insurance, etc.

Re: How much would you tip on HSP?
Keep in mind that the players on High Stakes Poker are being paid a salary to appear on the show. The salary is insignificant compared to the stakes of the game, but enormous compared to how much the players could possibly expect to pay-out in tips. I think this would make me more generous to the dealers than in any other situation where I am paying the casino for the privilege of playing.
