I mean, I love the Borgata, but the juice on their tournaments (and almost all live tournaments) is way high.

In addition, taking 3% from the prize pool for dealer tips shouldn't even be legal.

Well, the usual 100 is a + 20, so being used to the 20%, this is nothing. And I am for tipping the dealers. I have seen plenty of cheap bastards give a $10 toke (or even nothing) after we have chopped. That really pisses me off.

I do have one question though, does the 3% toke off the top effect the way I should tip should I cash?

Thanks for coming into the Brick/Mortar forum (and furthermore the Borgata thread) and complaining about an unbelievably standard 17% juice on a sub-$500 tournament.

Don't tip at the end since it's already been done?

Yeah, sounds about right, but I would feel kind of cheep only giving 3% ( I understand that it is actually 6%, but still....).

Then you would have loved the Monday/Wednesday night WSOP satellites that Harrah's AC ran every week, a couple of years ago. The buy-in was $100+$50 (50% juice).

I think it got chopped up and became a mess at the end. There are some posts about it in the tournament forum.

If you already have the rate, there is no minimum or maximum. However, if you would like to get it again in the future

I got a mailer saying that I have 2 free rooms Sun-Thurs, however when I log on and check the Borgata website says that I don't have any free rooms. Is there something wrong with the system?
