High stakes tipping

[Longines]

There is going to be £1m on the table at DTD tonight and presumably a fair bit more by the end of the 12 hours.

How much will end up in the tip tray? I’ve watched a few of these streams and no one appears to tip individual hands, do they leave something for the dealers afterwards? Are pros more or less likely than the business recs to tip?

[SuuPRlim]

high stakes games it's pretty common to tip at the end.

I think it's more about the person than businessman/reg but these 4 pros will all be pretty decent tippers i'm sure.

And depends if you win or lose i guess, if you done £250k you might not be loving tipping big, if you're +£250k then you might feel a dam sight happier about slinging a £1k chip in the tip box.

tonight is different, they're offering service in terms of being on a show, if it was a normal run game, it depends on location, service, extras, thrills, in the ultra high stakes games 10-20% is common to guarantee your seat in the game

10-20%? Yikes! I guess that's more a facilitator fee than tip though.

Always find tipping interesting as a rec. I was playing cash during the recent UKPC at DTD. A circuit reg pro, six figure score in the past, seven fig hendon mob etc. etc. was playing 2/2 PLO and even when 2k+ in the hole still tipped £1 on every pot won no matter how small. Also tipped the same quid when he won a £3k pot mind.

Few months back I played in a DC game in a Grosvenor. Maybe 10k on the table, many £800+ pots and in 5 hours there was one tip, £2.

How does sharing tips work at casinos? Is there a national standard or does it vary by location/operator? Does everyone get an even share or is it apportioned by hours worked or is there a seniority multiplier used?

JOOI, how much would the average dealer at a regional casino make in a month? I presume it would be more in London?

Think JRB got the players to hand over $500 or $1k each for the dealers on PAD.

Was speaking to a coiuple of the bar staff at the Luton G the other day. From what I can recall they said all the tips got divvied up based on hours worked across the week.
That was for all stsff with all tips, so bar staff got a share of thr floor and vice versa.  Can't remember if they said was a bit different for the poker room staff or not as I was rather intoxicated at the time. Sure they said they got around £150ish a month in tips

Are these high stakes games raked?

If they are, is there an argument for not tipping at all?

[RED-DOG]

If ever I win big, (I did say if ever) I wait until I get home and then I tip the wife and kids.

[arbboy]

There is always an argument for not tipping.  Tilts the shit out of me tipping as standard.

[arbboy]

does the stream link say 'application error' for everyone when you click on it or is it just me?

[peejaytwo]

me as well arb, looking more promising on twictchtv/partypoker
