Message: [QUOTE="detroitjunkie, post: 2857765, member: 61462"] Typically players will tip if they win a pot, if its significant - youre not gonna tip if you steal the blinds (though I know players who do). Some tip more than others, this one guy I deal to regularly tips in $2 bills - nice! In real big pots you can get a bunch more. I Michigan I have gotten $5, $10, $20 every once in a while, and once even a $100 once at the end of a session. Some players will wait till their session is over and tip out all the dealers (if they are gone he comes back and tips them another day) if they win money. Some people rarely or never tip - which, you know whatever. Doyle Brunson once said that if he tipped on EVERY hand he won he would have to pay an extra $10k a year, but he does tip well when he wins big so I get that I guess. This type of tipping is regular everywhere, the usual would be AVERAGE $1 per hand winning $10-$100, about $2-$5 winning $50-$200, and roughly $10 winning pots over $200. At WSOP its the same in cash games. If you deal single-table satellites then you get tipped by the winner(s). I have gotten between $50 - $100 for the one hour sats, $75-$200 for the 1-2 hour sats, and $250 - $500 for the 2-4 hour sats (obviously the longer sats are higher buy ins and there is always side action between players as well) My friend she once got tipped $1k for a 3 hour satellite - nice! Tournaments and multi table satellites are different. (and this is mostly the same for all casinos and some card rooms across country) You really are not supposed to accept a tip and keep it, you should give it to the cage and they add it to the down pool and all dealers in the tournament split it based on downs worked. This is big at WSOP, you can get fired for not turning in a tip to the cage from a tournament (though there are guys who tip every dealer a dollar coin, which I am never surrendering because the dealers would get like .3 cents each if it was divided) and there are floors everywhere, not to mention cameras, so its easy to get caught. WSOP dealers also make Nevada minimum wage which is currently 8.25, plus no state taxes, so the pay rate is great! I made about 14k last year in the 7 1/2 weeks, and about 8k of that was tips. If you work it make sure you get a bank account in Nevada so you dont have to carry all that cash around. [/QUOTE]
