No, they don’t. Not tipping one dealer won’t have any impact on the other staff or dealers.

It’s funny because this particular dealer has always been professional and cordial and this was a one off moment for him. I don’t know what got into him.

You should follow your friend's advice about taking the high road. Never tipping a dealer again because of a bad interaction is certainly not taking the high road. Also consider this dealer is incentivized financially to be nice to you and still they told you to shut up. How would you read into that?

I'm out!

I'm with El dumbo on this one. An extreme minority of dealers are douchebags that don't realize they're there for you, not the other way around. They show disdain for the players, other employees and the job that by tipping them you're only enabling them to continue with a job they hate.

Yes, anyone can have a bad day, so a one off isn't reason to not tip, but if you play often in a room you can see the pattern repeat many times with these offending dealers. Dumbo plays often enough to judge.

Dealer was way out line I wouldn't tip them either for awhile at least.

Not tipping 1 dealer will hardly make you a pariah, some people never or rarely tip period.

I've never had a "major problem" with a dealer either but I have seen a lot of bad dealers.

Good work. I don’t like doing it but players calling out dealers when they get out of line is the only way to fix the situation at mgmnh.

Idk what it is but the dealers are more out of line than anywhere else in the country: doing passive aggressive stuff like that needless square up to anyone that is perceived to be winning, berating fish, talking strat, stealing blinds/straddles and saying it was a tip, whining about not getting tipped enough, talking about workplace disputes, discussing how the union works, rooting for certain players and so on.

Good morning everyone! Got a great sleep, didn't hurt to have a glass of rose with dinner at the steakhouse with a poker friend (I promised I would treat her, it was overdue), we chatted and gossiped, it was a great time.

Also didn't hurt to run well at poker no matter what I played, ended up around $3,400 on the day! At 5/T/25, got 3! by this reg who last week or so complained when I joined his 2/5 game very audibly and nastily, I revenge called him with QJo, flopped top pair and a gutshot and shoved it in his face on his double barrel on QT85ss, he tank folded....

br challenge: $13,850 to go! Almost halfway there. can I do it by the end of the month? We'll see.

And yes, some dealers here have a very entitled attitude about them like they are god's gift to earth for putting up with us loser gamblers at mgmnh.

I'm definitely all for not tipping a dealer that is way out of line.

Super slow session, top sets cracked at plo, A5s lose to QTo on TT3A, big o is slow too. Might play 25/50 later, will see.

Colluder couple are back playing at the same table again, makes me sick. They ran up huge stacks playing together the other night too.

Won AQT97ds at 10/10 with two pair nfd open ender to same two pair worse fd, then had to give up my seat to game organizer and played in a mediocre 25/50 line up where I ran TT into AA and chopped thankfully and otherwise was very card dead and bled down for a few hours. Running it up again at 25/25 plo now, AKJt5ds won a decent one and AQJJTds split another one.

Wrapped up 25/25 plo5 on a good W, winning AJT98ds on AT87, made it $200 pre, my flop bet of $700 was called, V donked pot on turn bringing by bdfd and I stuffed it for $3k, he snapped and board pairing 7 river, he must have had the low straight as I was still good. Nice one to win as this V had sorta had my number lately.

Ended up booking only a modest win on the day thanks to a loss at 25/50 hold 'em but excellent results at plo.

Woke up a couple hours earlier than I expected, but still good enough 7 hours + of sleep, enjoying lattes now and chill music and staying cool during this intense heat wave.

Hello everyone . . . I woke up today and was delighted to see what time it was and that I had been sleeping soundly all night, felt a little groggy what I crawled out of bed so at first I figured I woke up early, it was probably just due to the meds. Happily surprised I got a solid 10+ hours. Will be fully energized and fresh for a good day of pokerz!

If it wasn't for the shot takes in the big game I would be on my way to another monthly record. This month is just average right now but I'm not complaining. I am blessed.

Got a new student and someone interested in a cfp deal, gotta sort out the payment methods for the second one though before we get started.

I am going to take my trader friend's advice and hold off on investing in the market until the next correction, everything is at all time highs now...gotta buy the dip.
