Tipping At A B&m Casino

Plus who are we kidding, no matter how much we tip, the dealers are just going to lose it later at the craps table at another casino.

But isn't tipping just a way for the greedy corporations to keep wages low and exploit the masses?

I agree, but if they had to pay the dealers 50 g's a year the rake would be scary. The rake would be like 15%

Which goes to show you that corporations do not pay any penalties like taxes, they pass all their bills off to their customers.This should be taught to every high school student.

I guess it's pretty standard to tip a big blind in most nl or limit games in a casino until you get past a $10 big blind. I've never played higher than 2/5nl or 10/20 SO, where the standard tip was $5. I would usually get drunk and tip more for big pots. Anyway, i was thinking about this practice, and realized it really didn't make any sense. When you tip, you tip for service. At a restaurant, the chef could cook up the greatest food you've ever ingested, but if the service sucks, your tip should be lower, and vice versa. In a poker game, your dealer could deal you a huge winning pot, but deal 18 hands/half hour, act nasty, and not know the rules, just as easily as a dealer can run a great game and deal you a cold deck. Doesn't it make more sense to not tip after pots you win, but simply tip the dealer at the end of his half hour shift based on how he ran the game? Does anyone do this? And how much would you tip in a 1/2nl game? 2/5nl game? 5/10nl game? Should it matter the stakes you're playing? Running a game takes the same skill regardless of the limit. Do you think you'd get berated by other players for not tipping after the pot? I don't have too much experience with live poker, and most of my Casino poker was played while underaged, so I never wanted to call attention to myself/rock the boat. Any thoughts?

As a standard you can always tip the small blind and that will be plenty. I dont tip every pot I win and I dont tip excessive amounts because it takes money off the table. After an three hour session if the dealer was tipped every hand thats a lot of money off the table (depending on your limits). I ussually tip when they deal me a good hand or when I win a big pot. I do not tip if its a limped pot, I bet the flop and everyone folds or if I win the pot by bluffing. Keep the money on the table and just tip the small blind or not much more. And you do not have to tip every single hand you win.

i personally hate the fact that my local casino is a tip sharing thing...i'm pretty sure, its pooled throughout the casino too and not just the pokerroom. i tip every time i win a hand when the dealer is actually personable...too bad some of them are much better than others. I usually tip a buck or two each pot, if it's a really good dealer (meaning i'm having fun) and a really big pot, i might throw 5 out there. Just my opinion tho.by the way, i try to express my disgust at the way some dealers treat their tipping patrons, so that the good ones know why the tip pool is shy.....
