Re: Tipping the Dealer
I sometimes play at a casino where some people are tipping fifty cents at a 4/8 table (with a kill). Don't be one of those cheap bastards.

By my count I've played poker in seven different states in every corner of the country. The only time I remember seeing sub-$1 chips is at low limit stud games with a 50c ante.

[/ QUOTE ] In those situations, mostly where I'm taking a break and playing low limit 7-stud, I'll toke both the 50 cent chip and the 1 or 2 blues that I normally would. I'm also pretty sure those 50 cent chips are what make most of the stud players at Canterbury always seem so grumpy.

Re: Tipping the Dealer
I play a lot of O8, and as a result sometimes I get split pots where I either barely win my chips back or outright lose money. In these instances I don't tip.
Also, yesterday I was in a tournament where I was all-in over the top of someone else's all-in, and I won the side pot, lost the main pot, and overall lost a few chips. If it were a cash game, I wouldn't tip. In the Seminole casinos in Florida, they rake 10% down to 50c increments. For a while, half-dollar coins (actual currency minted by the U.S.) were used, but now they have tokens.

They rake in 25c increments on the low limit games and 50c increments in NL, I think. And Harrah's until about a month ago used 50c rakes, but they just nuked that.

Re: Tipping the Dealer
Alot of rooms in Reno did this last time I was there which was a few years ago. $3/$6 limit games with $1/$2 blinds and they raked in 25 cent increments. Pots ended up having a ton of quarters.
I tipped $1 a pot as normal, but I did make sure to use the quarters as tips so I could get rid of the damn things.

Re: Tipping the Dealer
Where I am, Tipping a dollar a hand is very standard. It is going to vary depending on the game, time of day, quality of dealer ect... but you can almost expect to get at least a dollar a hand on pots that at least see the flop. Larger pots sometimes get two to a redbird.
