I dont mind the place, but i dont like a lot of the dealers there.

as an example,

I was playing 3 6 or 4 8(lol micros) and i get 9 5 off in the bb checks to me, we see a flop and i flop two pair, and turn a boat(ship the small pot!)

I give the dealer a 2 dollar tip and he looks at me and mutters under his breath "i gave you a full house..." obviously not satisfied with my generosity.

I decided to be a gentlemen about it and not say anything and luckily he rotated to the next table 5 minutes later.



I also have a couple of friends that work in the cage and we have gotten into discussions about hitting the jackpot and how much we would tip the dealer. I figured 4 or 500 would be enough, but i guess a lot of the dealers are EXPECTING 2 to 3 grand and anything less is an insult.

Is this during days, maybe? CP is my home room and I just have never seen any of this in hundreds of hours of play.

FWIW, the BBJ is so big there you should be tipping like a grand on an average one. But hey, it certainly ain't 2 or 3.

[/ QUOTE ]

I tip no more than 2 dollars every pot and the dealers are super cool to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

maybe i come off as a prick?

this incident was one dealer and most have been extremely courteous. I would say there are about 4 that i personally do not like as dealers

[/ QUOTE ]


No you don't come off like a prick, I agree there a good handful of dealers at CP that are pricks...especially the guy with the shades he just looks like a prick and yep he is. a buck tip isn't good enuf for him in a huge pot and next hand he chucks cards at me and deliberately causes one to flip and of course its an A. I dont even know if he still works there. My favorite dealer is Canadian Larry hes always upbeat and appreciates tips immensely.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol, I know exactly who you are referring to and he still works there.

[/ QUOTE ]

pretty sure i know who you are talking about. canadian larry is the [censored].

the guy that said that to me wants to be called "falcon" and has a card cutter like larry that says falcon on it.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah, he is just a weirdo don't sweat him.

Yeah, Canadian Larry is awesome. I know exactly who you're talking about, but at first I thought you were talking about purple glasses Jesse and I was like wtf? That's Mike. I can count how many dealers at CP I don't like on one hand. He is one of them.

If anything, CP doesn't suffer at all because of that handful. They have one of the best reputations in the business, afaik.

What does everyone think of the Canterbury in regard to service, game selection, tournaments? I'm new to the area and have no idea how the place is perceived

QFT. I love the guy. Nate is my favorite. And I love that every dollar I give him comes back dressed in yellow when I sit with his wife at 6/12.
