I'm not joking its a poker thread!!!

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??

[M3boy]

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!!!

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.

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!!!!!!!

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
