One objection I've heard about playing short-handed is having to pay the rake when the hands go so fast. I know the house gives a break on the rake for short-handed games lots of places.

Maybe their could be an even smaller or no rake for "game starters"? I am thinking something like "no rake for the first 20 minutes a game is running as long as it's 4-handed or less?" And while that's happening of course the floor is announcing that the game is running! After 20 minutes if it's still 4 handed the game probably isn't going to go anyway, right?
I'm pretty sure when we started the 7-card stud 8 or better game we were rake free until we hit 4 players, then max $1 until we had six, and then I think we filled right up.

I don't even mind people that won't play short handed - but they should at least sit their ass at the table with chips for 5-10 minutes so the game can fill up.

2/5 PLO usually goes every weekend but there is no guarantee. 1/2 PLO goes every weekend pretty much without fail so you can play that while putting your name on the 2-5 list.

I've never seen PLO8 anywhere....not saying it wouldn't be spread if there was a game ready list.

I played briefly in a 1/2 PLO8 game at the Borg last month. I do wish this was spread more often...

Query: do you leave a tip when you eat at Bread & Butter or the buffet?

I usually tip $2/person at buffets.

I don't tip at Bread & Butter. I mean I stand in line and order and get my food. What service is there?

If you tip, they won't do this the next time you eat there:

How's that for service? Another happy customer!

No tip for cafeteria-type place required, like Bread & Butter. I think you leave your tray on the table when done, so if you really want, you can leave a buck or two for the whole table, and that wouldn't be frowned upon at all. I would think most do not tip there.

It's always been customary to me that a $1/person tip at buffets was the norm.

Always check your receipt.
I handed the cashier at Roma the $10 voucher I got for dinner from the tournament. I ordered more than that, and then was charged an automatic 18% gratuity for $4.50. I immediately questioned it and she showed me some printout she had, so I let it go because the line was so long. I then went to the manager and he corrected it, and appoligized, and brought me my money back. But I wonder, how many people before me got falsely charged??

I eat there maybe once every other month. I think I'll be ok. Do you tip at McDonalds?

Some of the places in the food court downstairs at Borgata have tip jars. When I'm there on a regular basis, I do tip at places like Villa Pizza and Fat Burger. My meal is usually $6 or $7 and I give $1 and they always seem to appreciate it. And they always remember me and they do a great job.

The question was whether you tip at McDonalds.
It seems completely ridiculous to me to tip at Fatburger but not McDonalds just because Fatburger puts out a tip jar. They do exactly the same job!

That's cool. Although I'd add that I don't tip at those places and they do a great job.

If you're a regular at a place like this, I think its nice to tip (although far from required). I tip the guys at my local deli pretty regularly (although not every time because a $1 tip on a bagel is a little excessive) because I'm a regular and they do a good job.

Anyway, that's it for me for tipping in this thread.

Tip at both. Usually just leave a buck on the table at B&B. A couple of bucks at the buffet.
