Is tipping from your pocket illegal?

If anything, it would make sense to NOT allow tipping from your stack. But since this would make life very difficult and hurt dealers tips it doesn't make sense.

No. You have poor reading comprehension skills.

There are two ways to tip. 1. From your pocket or 2. from your stack. Someone was surprised that you could tip from your pocket. I was saying if for some reason somebody wanted to make one of these against the rules (ie. "If anything" ) then it would make sense to make 2 illegal and force people to tip from their pockets to avoid taking money off the table.

I then said that that would be annoying and so its allowed too.

Anyway this is more time then this deserves. If you still don't understand or still disagree feel free to flame away. I don't really care.

jjshabado's post makes perfect sense. What's so hard to understand?

1. The only place it would make sense to ban tipping from is your stack, because it's taking money off the table.

2. But if they did that, tipping could only come from your pocket, which would be a pain and hurt dealers, so that would be a bad rule.

Conclusion: Even though the only ban that makes sense (as opposed to banning tipping from pocket) is tipping from your stack, we shouldn't do either for practical reasons. i.e., leave it the way it is.

Thanks, I know sometimes I say stuff that makes perfect sense to me but not to other people. Its good to hear that at least one other person got what I was trying to say.

Except I thought it was pretty clear that the first MAKES SENSE was relative, and the second was absolute.

Its perfectly logical to say Jamie Gold is a good poker player, but is a donkey in high stakes game. See how context is important?

[censored]! I'm back to arguing over this. I need the picture of the guy in the Special Olympics.

everyone understands what you meant
