tekn0wledg 0 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 There have been numerous discussions about this on the board. The general concensus seems to be they tip out of pocket because the rake is an hourly fee posed by the cardroom. Link to post Share on other sites
DanielNegreanu 141 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 It costs $10 per person per half hour, and the players generally tip close to $5 a hand. Link to post Share on other sites
Patman 0 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Man 5$ for throwing some pieces of paper across a table sure sounds like a nice job. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
sealster 0 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 How exactly do the dealers get picked to deal the big games? Are there high standards to deal such a big game and do the dealers change very often? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 So they actually don't take a % rake then on every hand, because the casino would have it made if they did that. So is it jus a 5 dollars in chips or just throw across a bill. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 To deal the big games you have to have years of experience with that casino, be a good dealer (No write ups for dealing mistakes/Call outs), and well liked and trusted by the pit boss and floor people because they don't want to watch you deal or watch your table. Most casino poker dealers (atleast in Atlantic City) can only drop tips into the box in form of chips. They'll take the cash and convert it into chips. Link to post Share on other sites

pleddy 0 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 The viewpoint from the dealer was just posted on pokerworks.com (the blog of a dealer at the Belagio) just yesterday:This really isn't funny - but yet...The night before Christmas Eve. $4,000-8,000 mixed limit games with one little single draw Deuce to 7, no limit with a $100,000 cap and $1,000 ante from each player, $1,000-$2,000 Blind. That's a mouthful ain't it? The game was four handed, Lyle B. - 1s, Chau - 2s, Doyle - 4s, Phil - 7s. They were playing single draw Deuce when I sat down. The first thing that happened was Phil turned over three face cards and Lyle and Doyle threw him two or three $5,000 chips. Proposition bets. There were so many big chips flying around (sniff...none of them flew to me...sniff) and everyone, except Chau (he wasn't in the proposition thing), was turning over their hole cards without calling a bet or raise, that it was hard to figure out if the hand was over or if I was supposed to be giving change somewhere.Doyle and Phil seemed to have a little exchange that belonged only to them (heard they'd been playing for over 24 hours) - they took turns bantering at the other about being 'the luckiest player...'In general it was like watching a chip war and no one was going to win. They threw more money across the table in 'Prop' bets than I could make in four years. The dealer in front of me, a good, solid, no mistake making dealer, made zip/zero/nothing out of the game. For handling all of those massive amounts of money and doing it well, he got paid minimum wage by the house. Around $3.00 for his time in the box. I seldom find myself feeling disgruntled over tipping but this leaves me with a giant black spot in my head for the player that always thinks they should have the best of it - comps, great dealers, etc., when they can't give up anything on behalf of the person that works for tips...especially at Christmas. I got really lucky, I made $20. From the talk around the room, it's been more the zip/zero thing for everyone. Maybe I'm just blessed... don't think I don't appreciate it, I do.Just a viewpoint, not mine....Paul Link to post Share on other sites
