Hey jackdaniels. Does this game have a half kill? |

Re: Tipping at Underground Poker Clubs - Line Check
I tip the dealers just before they're tapped out whether I'm winning pots or not. I never liked the hand-by-hand thing.

I'm surprised you only tip at the end of a down. You might get kicked out of some underground card clubs if you do that, it pisses off the dealers and in turn management.

Mgmt makes $$ off rake and in order to collect it, they need players. I have heard (in the past) dealers complaining privately to players and reminiding them that they work on tips alone - but this never went "upstairs" to mgmt. As far as I know it is easier to replace a disgrunteled dealer than a (non-tipping but otherwise good) player. I am in Toronto FWIW, but have played in underground clubs in Vancouver, NY and (obviously) here in T.O. |

Re: Tipping at Underground Poker Clubs - Line Check
My dealers are averaging about $500 per 7 hour shift. I am happy for them, but the players are tipping WAY too much. I personally tip $1 for small pots, $2 for $50-$100 pots, and up to $5 for really big pots. I see some players win a $500 pot and tip $20 regularly.

Dealers could care less, especially once they know you and are used to it. I tip a little bit better than average anyway (as do most people who work on tips), so it's not really an issue. No one's getting stiffed. |
