Proper Tip on this Bad Beat

[Jibbs]

lol. Actually up to that point in the 8 hands I had played I had KK, AK, JJ and AQ before I had the 99. I hadn't won any of those hands either. I did make a comment to the dealer that I may not be able to tip him since I hadn't won a hand all night.

How much did you tip though?

[Lord_Strife]

If I am on vacation and this happens at a random place, then I tip a small percentage. However, as a dealer myself I am known thoughout most of the area cardrooms as a good tipper and I have to live up to that BECAUSE it all comes back to me because these dealers come play in my room and tip me. So if it's local I think I tip like $5,000... if I'm on vacation then something like $2,000

EDIT: I'm sure you left something like $1,000-$2,000 and you got a bunch of [censored] from people. [censored] them, how many people saying that to you can say they've handed somebody $2,000 as a GRATUITY in their entire lives? There comes a point where the percentage doesn't matter because you're actually just handing someone a ton of money for their normal work.

This is actually exactly along the line of thinking that I took when I tipped. This is my home card room in which I have gotten to know all the dealers and a good number of the regulars. I did end up tipping $5,000 and have taken some grief from friends thinking this was too much. Maybe it was, but whether I went home with $78,000 or $73,000 I was still having a good night and luckily I'm at a point in my life where I have no debt and no money worries so I could spread it around a little and not worry about it.
