    Tip your dealers

    So how much do you tip when a dealer pushes you a winning pot? I see people daily push my dealers nothing when they receive a winning hand. For your information, most dealers get paid minimum wage and on top of that wage they are taxed on what uncle sam thinks they make in tips. My dealers net $2.15/hr. So next time you win a hand think of the dealers and throw them a few chips. Even if every player through a dollar they would be grateful. If you win a huge pot with more than 3 players feel free to toss them 10%. Dealers know who the good and bad tippers are and do everything in there power to push the tippers a winning pot. Just a little FYI.

    I understand what your saying about tipping. But Id like just one example of how a dealer can help push a guy a winning pot.

    I think it's more of attitude than anything. I have dealt private games and with tippers the dealers tend to be more friendly. I wouldn't say push a pot to a player, just make the game more enjoyable.

    Pictures and the Internet don't lie.....

    10&#37; is amazingly excessive. everyone but the dealer would be broke before long and the dealers would soon be out of work. do the math paul....2% will result in over a hundred a night in tips at low limit games. that's a buck for a $50 pot, $2 in a hundred and at higher limits $5 for a $250 pot.

    the problem is the players who do not tip.....expecting the other players to tip excessively to make up for the cheap bastards is not the answer.

    Playing as much as I do in Vegas I'm usually fairly generous with my tips, and I can't think of a dealer I'm not on friendly terms with.

    The benefits I've received by being friendly and generous have paid off handsomely at times. I've walked into poker rooms and had dealer nod to me and look directly at a table with an open seat that I would not normally sit down at. Sure enough, I go look at the table and realize it's a dream; sit down; and make money. I've even had dealers or brushes give me a call and let me know about games that I should get in. Rarely, if ever, are these games that I lose money at.

    Hell, I remember walking into TI one night and having a dealer nod to a $2/$4 LIMIT game. I thought he was out of his head. At limit's that low it's almost impossible to overcome the uphill climb against the rake. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt and sat down while I was waiting for a NL game to start.

    Within 15 mins, I took my name off the NL list and played for another 4 hours in that game making about $500. By the time I left there was about $1,800 on the table, the waiting list for a table change was about 15 people, and every rounder in the room was on it.

    It seemed the whole table was on insanity mode. 5 to 8 players were cold calling capped betting preflop, and it was unusual if ANY round of betting except for the river DIDN'T get capped. It stayed that way until I took off. (which was 5 mins after the three drunks that were pumping the pots finally gave up and left after contributing about $1200 to the table)

    btw - I talked to the dealer that gave me the nod before I left. The three drunks that were making the table so profitable had bought in 10 mins before I walked in the room. The dealer had heard mention that they each had $500 to play poker with and were "gonna chop this table to pieces" After watching the game for 5 mins he wanted to clock out and buy in.

    I toked the dealer $60 for the tip and left smiling.
