Tipping is a taboo topic outside of tipping containment thread, and for good reason.

How do you guys keep track of your tips? Should I adjust my winrate if I tip a $5 every 1k pot?

He's making a case for you to tip him exactly zero per hour.

I don't adjust for rake, so I don't adjust for tips either. Not worth the effort.

I don't control rake but I do control my tipping

Not based on what I saw in your thread.

Great job that was amazing. You got me. Thanks for reading

I usually tip a dollar to the cage and a dollar for all of my waters, and I think that's reasonable

Do you tip the hobos outside too?


Never tips cage.



Doesn't order water so that he doesn't have to tip anyone.



Every dollar I give to someone is $1/hr less that I'm not winning assuming I win one pot/hr. I'm probably beating 1/2 for >$30/hr if I didn't tip ever. Maybe I should stop...


See above for bringing it back to winrates.








Tips dealers conservatively because it's the right thing to do.

Can't be the king if you don't take care of the little people.

It's a bad screen name. What would a real volume king entail? Massive hours with massive winnings. I have none

Volume King clearly took a page out of GrindPokerAllDay's playbook for picking acreennames. Both great players but names don't fit them at all.

BTW, I always tip the cage and tip for drinks. Tipped the nice pretty girl from Paris $2 for the girly strawberry drink she brought me today.

I don't tip cage. Sometimes I'll tip floor 1-2 dollars if I'm doing well.

I'll tip $1 for waters but I always get 2 at a time.

I do admit I splurge on tipping if I'm crushing, if I win a 2k pot (1k in profit) I'll tip $10 -- assuming it's not 1-2k pots every orbit.
Generally I'll just tip $1 for hands over $100, $2 sometimes if its $500+

I probably overtip honestly.

Prob explains why all the dealers like me. Obv can't be my personality (like lets be honest)

If I did this, my hourly would probably go up a few bucks...

I shouldn't feel bad about tipping that "low", because I'm basically valuing the dealer's time at $36/hr, which seems quite fair.

I think I'll try to do this next time I play, and report back on how many dirty looks I get after scooping some $800 pot.

Like Duke says, these guys cleanup I never feel bad about not tipping every hand

I think tipping the cage is beyond ******ed for most of the buy-ins and cash-outs we have here. If you're having them count out $30k .... sure. But for $200-1000? No ****ing way.

The impact dealer tipping has on winrate depends an awful lot on what kind of player you are and when you tip. $1/hand is pretty standard. But if you're really aggro and tipping when you take down a $12 pot OTF every couple of hands you're going to burn a lot more than the nit that plays 2 hands an hour.

Don't tip on pots where I win < 20 or anything pre flop( unless I take down a big one with some tanking) if I win a few tiny pots from the same dealer or if they're one of the better ones I'll throw a buck

this doesn't apply in casinos as much but it does matter a lot in home games.

2 years ago I played in a game that had no white chips, red birds were smallest denomination. they pulled around 500 dollars off the table per hour in rake so I didn't tip. the game was super juicy and one session I walk in and the house tells me my seat got bumped because players thought I was too cheap. I learned a lot the last few years about greasing the right wheels in home games and now fish call and ask me to come play with them.

in casinos I think tipping the floor has a lot of value since they are in position to get you into good games should they pop up. I imagine this isn't as important at 1 2 and 2 5 since all games at those stakes are easy, but should a random big game with whales and a wait list arise, you wanna be the first person the floor thinks of, and the more money you give them, the more they think of you. =)

I only tip cage when I win, and usually only $1.

I also get overexcited with tips when I win big. The 1st time I played 2/5 I got lucky and raked in a $1.5k pot. Was so happy I tipped the female dealer (who looked a lot like Hillary Swank) $25.

Won another biggish pot with same dealer a little later and tried to tip her five, but she refused to accept it .

OTOH, I tend to not tip chopped pots.

The extra dollar on an un-even chop should go to the dealer. Done.

I tip way too much and even I don't tip on chopped pots. It's always funny when both players that chop the pot tip a dollar each.

I tip in chopped pots when I needed to suck out to a chop.

Since most of the time it's the other person who needed to suck out I don't tip in most chopped pots.

I generally dont tip on pots less than $150

You sound like a popular guy.

Tipping everytime I raise, get 1-2 callers, cbet and take it down is a bit much IMO
