Nothing is more boring then a bunch of guys telling everyone how much they tip. Do it or don't who cares

Dealers.

Can't imagine why there's a containment thread...

I now have 8BI+a little extra for tips and chair massages.


According to my google ROR calculator with my WR and STD my ROR is now 3%.

STD? Syphilis or aids?

prolly a combo platter cuz this thread has both

F autocorrect

This. Mildly relevant to winrate, but now it's just getting in to "I do x" "I do y" crap. No more tipping chat in this thread. Talking about the effect it has on winrate (cost vs benefits of better rulings, games, image, etc.) is ok, but no more of these "eff them, they're doing fine" or "you cheap bastard" posts.

"Just the tip" talk ok tho?

You probably want to tip just enough to have no detrimental effects based on how much influence some dealers/floors can have on your game selection.

In the majority of cases, I don't see how casino staff can intentionally/successfully block you out of a good game (that you are able to get in). If they are, you aren't doing a good job/doing yourself a disservice by letting casino staff treat you like that. It might be true that the staff is letting you get into a juicy private game in which case, well do your job and make their time worth their while.

Right now, I am tipping everytime I win a pot that goes to the flop or is above $10. I think I might be a slightly above average tipper based on that so I assume tipping costs me $3/hour, which seems to work out mathematically if the dealer is getting tipped average of $1 about 75-80% of the time every hand. I am guessing I can tip about half as much or 60% as much as I normally do without feeling bad or have dealers judge me as a bad tipper, which is more value for me. You can probably go even lower than that but that will subconsciously influence me to play less than optimally.

What did the leper say to the prostitute?

Variance is a bitch

Well, according to Poker Journal which I've logged nearly 4000 hours of live Poker now:



Tipping, food, drinks comes up to about 9% of winrate. Obv food and drinks is a big chunk of that. I kind of wish PJ could show how much tokes are seperately.

Best way to track it accurately is to never tip

You guys are hilarious though, i used to post stuff like my last post ITT a couple years ago and get flamed. Now everyone agrees with me. WRs are really going down, huh?

Some of us simply accept the reality of social norm.

There are many things you could do that are more profitable, but is it actually +EV in the game of life?

What about chopping? Will chopping make my winrate go up or down if I am an average winner? Like what if I win 5bbs winning per hr ? Should I be chopping? But what if I make alot of mistakes heads up?

You're in a position to chop like once every few hundred hands, maybe? It's not going to affect your win-rate noticably whether you do or don't.

I always play, personally.

Do you guys think having more buyins helps you play better and increase your winrate?

Umm...yes.

So playing above your bankroll is decidedly negative expected value compared to playing within it? Interesting idea

No more tipping BS. Further posts, with or without "Garick disclaimers" attempting to discuss tipping in any way other than pros and cons as it related to overall winrates will result in infractions and possible temp-bans.

How many more of these bad questions?

There are obviously different variables involved, but if you really want me to dumb it down, then sure, playing without a BRM is negative EV.

Oh I didn't say that playing without a BRM was negative. I asked if playing under rolled negatively affected ones winrate, and if that holds true then playing within my BR will boost my Winrate. So I should try to play with as many buyins as possible in order to realize my edge

Do you even know what BRM means?

It depends.

I guess you don't know what BRM means.

Can you just tell me what a BRM is. Because that's what you said

Can you explain it to me? Last time we did this you were dead wrong. Kinda hope you get the answer right this time
