Title: Tip the dealer? Post by: cia260895 on January 04, 2008, 11:04:33 AM I don't play live that much but recently i played and finished 7th in a £30+£3 freezout which payed out £67.50 Should i have tipped the dealer if so how much considering i spent £10 on drinks and £10 on cab fare giving me a profit of only £14.50,the dealer only came into it at the final table then the dealer was changed 2 hands before i went out.

Title: Re: Tip the dealer? Post by: boldie on January 04, 2008, 11:11:13 AM No I wouldn't. If you only take home a bit everything you tip the dealer is a very big % of your profit.
If you in a decent amount I would tip (though it used to be tipping the valets as tipping dealers used to be ilegal) but it can't be a significant % of what I won as that would make it a very bad move for my bankroll. I see people tipping dealers in a cashgame (in some places that's fairly comon as thecash game dealers are not proper dealers but just guys who volunteer) when they win a 10£ pot they throw the dealer a £1. That's 10% of the pot AFTER the rake/table cost per hour has already been taken. That's just stupid in my opinion which is why I wouldn't do it when a pot is that small. I much prefer tipping a dealer in a cash game after a session rather than during one so that's what I do. Title: Re: Tip the dealer?

Title: Re: Tip the dealer? Post by: Newmanseye on January 04, 2008, 08:48:19 PM You tip dealers from a big pot in cash games, not the small ones.
as for tourneys, its usually first and second place that would tip the dealer. sometimes only first. Title: Re: Tip the dealer? Post by: scotty2hatty on January 05, 2008, 10:17:37 PM What percentage are we tipping if we win a tourney?
