u want subtle brags - here u go

I was married to a massage therapist. I got t-boned by a drunk driver on my way to olympic trials. After several sessions she told me she had to stop being my therapist cuz she found me attractive and it was unprofessional for her to continue massaging me...ya I nailed her in the massage room.

I find stripperz more entertaining to date cuz of their insatiable desire to consume drugs, get crazy and have sex with me and their stripper buddies at the same time

I mean, you don't want to skin him and crush him so bad that he *never* comes back. Fish need to leave with wins sometimes to keep their interest in the game.

I agree

My motivation is a bit of both

Makes more sense for a pro to want the guy to go home before he falls into oblivion and never be seen again, or sees the game from a very different light than before.

Edit: or what Angrist had already said.

Agreed

I don't think my decision is optimal by any means or advising that others follow my lead.

Just sharing

Oh you know what, I think this summer I'm going to actually keep track of tips.

Or maybe I shouldn't... It's probably best I don't think about it lol

I told a young grinder to go home once because his head wasn't in the game. His best friend had just been murdered and now he was dumping buyins.

(Turns out he was the one that murdered him though)

Obviously not. I guess I mistakenly tapped the tip button once during a session and I'm far too lazy to look through all of them to find it.

My winrate would actually be higher but I really like most of my usual dealers and tip accordingly

oh yea if you want to improve your winrate a little for a lower time investment than actually studying, keep the tipping down. The dealers and waitresses do just fine, i promise. And if youre at 1/2 or 1/3 its likely they do better than you do at your job + poker combined so just stop imo. Its just social pressure anyway, youre not a saint because you tip well.

I don't tip relatively generously because of some misguided sense of charity, I do it because it helps with a mental block of being in a casino many hours per week. I kind of think about it as if me, other winning non-scummy players, and the staff are working together in a informal capacity to run fair, fun poker games and the end result of that arrangement is fish losing money to the winning players and rake/tips being paid.

There is an ROI on tipping though, at least to a level that makes them think you're a good person and like you.

That said, there's a dealer who won't say thank you for less than a redbird and clearly thinks I'm a scumbag for what I tip (it comes to over $4/hr at mainly 2/5), so he may help me pull my tipping rate down!

That said we're going to land in the containment thread soon if we keep this up... But from a winrate/finance perspective I think there's a sweet spot to tip enough to get a heads up about a good game, get them to drop to half rake immediately even if nobody asks, etc.

I think tipping is directly related to win rates don't should be allowed as long as it stays in that frame of reference.

I don't tip extravagantly. It's too hard to win and I can't think of anything that'll knock down your win rate faster.
