A(nother) good reason not to tip

[ScottMGee]

I don't get this having to tip dealers.

I generally tip playing cash but this is to avoid being cursed by the poker gods and I do disagree with the compulsion to tip.

I final tabled at DTD the other night, net result I made about £27 profit before having to give my mate £11 (his 20% share) and paying about £8 on petrol, hence overall I probably 'made' £9 - Do I really want to tip on a £9 profit? If I tip 10% of my winnings do I tip £6 or £1.90?

And to top it off I had at least one disagreement with a dealer over a rule and had to tell another not to let a player string bet!

PS I still think DTD is the best club in the UK with some of the best dealers.

Jamie, do you have any colleagues that act stupidly sometimes?

*Bites lip* lol

Ahh my apologies, the person I was thinking of doesn't work for Blue Square.

The other thread I mentioned was where people were knocking Dave Smith for not tipping. There are a number of reasons why some people may decide not to tip. I personally couldn't not tip unless I was really peeved at something but I wouldn't necessarily disagree with instances where people don't.

Cos, you have to win before you Tip.

Oh shit yeh, problem sorted then.

I heard when Kinboshi won his APAT tournament he was waiting at the cash desk and asked a Valet who was walking by to make him a tuna sandwich & a ham and cheese sandwich and bring them to him with a couple of pieces of kitchen roll. He'd just finished counting, collecting and signing for his money when she comes to him with said food. He hasn't left his tip yet but stuffs cash into his pocket and whilst she is still holding the plate he wraps the sandwiches in the kitchen roll, and walks straight to his car and drives home. So he didn't tip or pay for some food at services.

He did muster a thanks to the valet though.

just to clarify i wasnt knocking him for posting i was knocking him for not saying anything at the time then posting

the amount of times ive seen posts on here where someone tells a story where they didnt say anything at the time "because they dont want to cause an argument" (lol sure is the reason) but wait to slag the people off behind their back on the internet is remarkable, indicitive of pure internet people, no time for them.

10% of winnings, wow, either it's been that long since I've won a tournament or you've gone mad. 5% is always the figure I'd work with.

Although 10% of your winnings does't seem to work out at £6 or £1.90 according to the above info???

He must have been a very cute valet.

of course it's the reason, and pretty sensible it is too in an era where people have no problem with starting rucks in card-rooms

yeah it is but not the exactly how i meant it, if you cant say something to someones face(even if it is because you think it will cause a ruck or you'll get a clump)you're not entitled to then start running your mouth about the guy behind his back imo.

I would agree if the individual was being named, after all he has no right of reply unless he happens across the forum and the thread.

but if a poster is talking about a situation where unnamed person has done such and such and the poster writes on a subject, I think its fine. In such situations I don't think the poster is "running his mouth"

It was just this bit i was talking about really........

I bit my lip to avoid an argument, but was pretty disgusted

translates as: "shit myself from saying anything but couldnt wait to get on the internet to moan about it"

I think you are being too harsh, if I may say so. I can understand why someone wouldn't say anything at the time, and why they'd post on a busy poker forum asking for opinions about it afterwards.

the mere act of posting is inviting replies

I don't tip dealers.  Just a forewarning for when I win a bracelet.

yeah but he doesnt say: "is this right?" or even "how bang out of order is this?"

he makes a point of saying how disgusted he was at the time but didnt say anything

yup, and I don't have a problem with that..as someone who has done similar on occasion, and spoken up on others.

You do, and I don't mind you having a problem with it
