Tip Hustling at the Trop

[cardcounter0]

Well, if there is a bunch of nit rocks sitting around a table, the pots aren't going to be that juicy.

So when a live one shows up and starts throwing money around, the waitress and dealer are probably due a little extra toke when you drag the bigger than usual pot, thanks to the fish.

After all, it probably isn't some grumpy poker player that the fish came for.

I didn't say not to tip. Or not to tip bigger because of the Party Man.

I said that if a dealer or waitress tries to hustle (hustle, not do an excellent job, but hustle) me for bigger tips, I will tell them loudly that they will get nothing from me for that reason. Believe it or not, a lot of players will cut their tips when they get that sort of BS from dealers/waiters.

Oh, I believe you!

Here is a pop quiz: If you were sent into a casino to find the tightest skinflint cheap penny pinching pain in the azz in the whole joint, wouldn't you head straight for the poker room? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

No. I would go to the Managment. Who do you think treats the staff so wonderfully in the first place? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I got to LV just after Sept 11. Just in time to see tons of people laid off. And then rehired. At lower wages, less hours, etc.

I had a very nice player who got first in a live single table shootout not tip me at all, but he was so friendly and kind, I really didn't care at all.

If this is true, you are indeed a professional. I feel like PMing you so I can
send you a toke for that post. Outstanding.

I was glad to see the first cocktail girl leave. She was beyond SUPER greedy.


It was a very fun table but that lady dealer was out of control. Complaining about $20 tips!


My favorite was when she pushed
that kid (2 seat) a big pot and he tossd her a red bird. She says, "That's not enough!". He makes it $7. This time she says, "You cheap! More money!". He makes it $9. She then tells him how big the pot was and that he should have tipped more. Then she deals the next hand.



Later.....She pushes me a $500 pot and I toss her a red bird and tell her that's all she's getting from me, so don't even start. I wanted to keep "Life" happy.



A fun but strange night in that room. "Life" buying shooters and beers for the whole table, non-stop greedy tip hustles from the dealer and cocktail girl, a girl with her boobs halfway hanging out of her shirt, asking me if I was "looking at her t!ts?", Endless drunken action, the entire table taking turns wearing "Raymer" glasses, A drunk running up to me and kissing me on the cheek (after a big pot), Did I mention the endless shots and big boobs? YMMV.

Hi Kathleen,

"In this situation I would have privately talked to the floor each and every time it happened."


I think the floor already knew. It was the only table going (most of the night) and the floor was right near the table the entire night. At least I had the feeling that she (floor) knew what was going on.


Best Wishes

I once had a dealer refuse to give me a seat change button (because the table was full). When I explained to her thats why I needed the button she said "no one is leaving soon". As if they had filled out schedules for her or something.

I then won four huge pots in a row and didn't tip her at all. She commented to me and I called the floor.

In this situation I would have privately talked to the floor each and every time it happened. You don't want to slow or stop the game because you don't want life to know anythign about this.

Actually, the poker room is small and the floor was never more than a few feet away. She must have heard some of it.

Are y'all carrying AC trip reports now too? Or just general stuff about tip hustling? Or does the Tropicana in LV spread poker?

Sorry, this was at the Tropicana in Las Vegas.
