Tipping the Dealer in Live Poker Games

[PimpGameNM]

I'm a bartender. So being in the service industry, I'm inclined to tip more as well I think. I'm thinking 2 for pots over 83, 3 for pots over 154, and 5 for pots over 206, is fair but not overkill. I'll give 10 if the pot is over a grand. And if I've done well I'll give them another 5 to 20 when I get up (I'm thinking about 1% of my winnings). How does that sound?

You are a bartender and ur telling ppl to tip from 1% to 2.5% WOW. What if I told ppl going to a bar thats what they should tip. 10% is the industry standard not on every pot won, but big wins. I have dealt for over 10 years and it ever ceases to amaze me how fucking cheap you degenerates are, especially ppl who work in the service industry. Where I work the players(regulars) hand out buttons to other players that say "Im a 10%'er" so they realize how pathetic they are when they dont tip properly.

It looks like you can't read very well. He tips an EXTRA 1-2.5% if he's done well. That doesn't include the $1-$10 he was tipping for every hand he won.

I'm from Vegas and have lots of friends that are in the service industry. I believe strongly in tipping, but don't believe it's necessary when you're losing. I can be cheap, if a pot is less than $15 and I'm down I probably won't tip. Most pots I'll tip $1. If it's a decent pot, say $50+ I'll usually toss them $2. I've also done it where I win a few little pots and don't tip when I take the pot, but will toss the dealer a couple chips before they switch out.

Frankly, I find this to be ridiculous. I would never tip $100 on a $1000 pot. Or even $20 on a $200 pot for that matter. But, I don't know where you are dealing but I wouldn't be here talking down to me right now. I'd be out enjoying all my money because even 1% of every dollar that changed hands all night would be a ridiculous about of money. And your (minus when bums like me win) making 10 times that. Truth be told, I've almost always found myself to be one of the best tippers at the table. I'm also not shy about speaking up about someone not tipping because I know the dealer can't say it. In the end I am there to make money and ten percent would be entirely to much off of my bottom line. And I'm sorry if that's up setting*
