blonde poker forum

I was playing in a small cash game in my local pub, the cards had been dealt and 2 players were left in the pot, the first player to act on the river bets and then before the other player has a chance to call, fold or raise the first player throws a tip to the dealer, the dealler asks "what its for?" and the player replies "its a tip for dealing me the winning hand".  The second player protests "but i haven't even called" and the first player replies "Oh sorry thought you had". My question is ...is the player who throws the tip out of over or is this acceptable??

Id throw double the amount as a tip, then re raise him!!

LOL

a bit of a laugh and banter to me.........but that normally gets me into trouble!!!

What would you say its a definate bluff?

not neccesserily, sounds like the 'you call and it's all over baby' one

I have been trying to improve my game and i'm pretty poor at understanding what these verbal signals, last night I was playing a small comp and this fella managed to get me to call when he had the best possible hand just by confusing me (and thats not hard!) Should i just switch off to everything I hear??

I'd just try and play the cards for now, forget the people.  Try not to give anything away yourself but don't worry to what others are saying.

OMG!!! me im an open book!!!

for someone playing such a short time you're certainly asking the right questions...

Well I found the whole thing quite bizarre as not witnessed tipping before

Not a big fan of it myself. I think it should be banned for dealers. I'm sure somewhere it's going hand in hand with bottom dealing and I can't be bothered keeping one eye open for it.
Especially to waitresses also. I mean, You buy two drinks for £4.50, she carts them to you, you leave the 50p change, fair enough.
But if you enter 11 small comps at £10 buy in, on the tenth you win £100 by coming 4th, is it really fair that someone basically takes £10 out of your hand as with everyone else who cashes, for 'the staff'?? £100 total tip. % of total medium term live profit to tips......100%. If people want to tip, let them tip. It shouldn't be demanded from them in a way that refusal would embarass them.
But I guess that's another thread entirely.

But where were we....ah yes, care free flirtation!!!!!!! :) :)

better move to flirting thread then lol............race ya!!

Bottom dealing?? it seems to say for itsef what this is but are the cards at the bottom of the pack any better than the ones off the top, sorry don't get it :blonde:

lol

Once again ridicule instead of help why doesn't that surprise me

This guy is very good so you need to watch his hands very carefully:

He's supposed to deal all the cards from the top of the deck.

You play a hand, and win with an ace. The dealer picks up all the cards. He puts them all together and goes through the shuffling routine. The shuffling is dodgy, as well as mostly only faking the motions he knows exactly where your Ace is at all times. He makes sure that then next time the cards are dealt, your ace is on the bottom. He deals the cards as normal but when giving the cards to his buddy to your right he takes the ace from the bottom and gives it to him, but he makes it look like he's dealing it from the top.

Pretty neat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kSThptkNf8

But as Flushy will tell you, this is more prevalent in online poker.

Blimey, that is good Poppet ought to learn that for my next heads up with Matt!!!! I might stand a chance then lol

I didn't realise it was a serious question i thought you were joking!

I havent been playing for long didnt know this kind of thing went on

OMG Mum, you are so stoopid sometimes, that is one of the funniest things you've ever said!
