I wouldn't even consider tipping 10% if the final table was the only self dealt table. Also, as TK pointed out, tipping the dealers is illegal in a licensed UK casino. I tip the hostesses...and always try to ensure they get a half decent amount out of the total prize pool..but it won't ever be ten %..that's just ridiculous.

Ahh, tipping the Valets in Licensed Venues is another matter entirely, it's legal, & should be encouraged.

yes, especially in the smaller buy in comps. quite a few people who show up there only drink soft drinks and tea all night and most of the money the hostesses can make is actually at the roulette tables and such..definetly not the poker table..so to ensure the ones working the poker room get tipped a half decent amount and therefore will want to work in the poker room again tipping from the prizepool is essential IMO.

At the Stanley in Glasgow there are some lovely ladies working in the poker room on a Friday night and Lord knows they are likely to make much less then the ones at the main tables simply because of all the students who only drink the complimentary cokes and never tip on those (after all, they are free)..so a couple of quid from the prize pool is well spent if you want the same great service with a smile every Friday.

one of the reasons i stopped playing live tourneys at the Grosvenor Salford when it went self-deal was the constant arguing of some of the players who dealt and wanted paying for it. Personally i didnt mind dealing as it meant that the game carried on at a decent pace and wasn't too bothered whether i received anything for it - some of the people who dealt did want paying and it ended up always causing arguements as to how they would do it. I actually stopped going after a while because i didnt like it and ended up going to blackpool where they had dealers. (despite it being an extra 90 minutes travelling and a higher standard of player.)

I have never heard of any of the guys in a self deal tourney wanting to get paid for dealing...my reply would be along the GFY line.

this was back in the day when it was ok for dealers to get tips provided you weren't casino staff.

I know a few of the players who entered the tourneys back then weren't there for the tourney - they just wanted to deal in the cash games afterwards as they would get some decent money.

The casino soon changed it so that it was no tips for anyone.

Apparently some casinos still do get the punters to pay the punter/dealers.

so after paying to enter the comp with your hard earned money you use your skill to go on to win the comp after hrs of play and dealing the card right up to the final table someone  comes along to deal the final table and wants 10% of the winnings and brings this up when you are playing i am sorry but my reply would have bin 2 words and the 2nd one off    its like studying the form on the horses all morning the going to the betting shop putting your money on a horse then if it wins (when it wins lol ) you go with your betting slip very happy that your horse has won and you are looking forward to putting it all an the next horse lol and give it to the person behind the counter and they say they want 10% off your winnings as they put the bet on for you

the final 2/3 players usually put in a £60ish total tip for the waitresses, I wouldnt expect you to know that though mr. meal for 2  Wink

Oh, and Id usually tip a dealer if he dealt the final table in a self deal tourney when he wasnt in the final, I think taking time out to deal the final allowing everyone else there to concentrate on their game is worthy of a few quid although 10% is pretty high

Flushy, I run 2 tournaments a week in such a place, 100% dealer dealt, TD and Valets, fantastic structures, no registration fee!! Both £30 freezeouts deepstacked, all levels 25/50 75/150 and 150/300, 30 minute clock all through, one starts at 2pm (NLHE) and the other where we experiment with other games is a midweek late nighter. You start off with 6000pts for £30 and CAN IF YOU WANT TO have a £5 lifeline (for an extra 2000pts optional) within the first 3 levels (it is stipulated that the lifeline money goes towards the staff). All drinks and food are free, sometimes I end up doing money and sometimes I make a little (little being the operative word). You can come to our place and for £30 flat, not spend anything else, get fed and watered and your whole £30 will go towards the prizepool. Are we ripping people off? It's done for the game not the money and is not a business venture, everyone has a fantastic day of poker hopefully the staff get tipped, but that is personal choice and no pressure is put on the winners to do so, but it does help, even if it just ticks the staff over for 10 hours of working. If you do the maths, even if everyone has a lifeline it is not a great deal. It is run fairer than casinos as we do not have to pander to Big House game players, and all the staff are ex casino/TV dealers. It is not someone out to make a buck on the back of poker, it is a very nice social day for all, and in completely the right spirit. As you can tell I am not a business man as if i were we wouldn't exist. There are clubs all over the country that are run by poker players, some take the piss and some don't.

If you have dealer dealt tournaments then Flushy wasn't talking about your gaff.
