Players were mostly happy. The dealer didn't really like being referred to as "black boy".

Beats what I said from table 12.

So what did it reset to?

Yes Jermaine dealt it...good dealer and guy....reset to about 180k or so right now...

sweet. yea Jermaine is cool. happy for him. hope he got a decent tip.

Apparently dealer was paid $200 tip from the winning hand of the bad beat. Can anyone else confirm?

loooooooooool

"What do Michiganders do when the Lions win the Super Bowl?... Turn off the X Box and go to bed"

If the dealer didn't get in total of all tips at least 10k off a 580k BBJ (or whatever it was) then too many people were cheapskates.

hi guys. hows it going?

cant confirm that, but can confirm that He did not get paid out as he did not have his ID. so possible he did not tip him anything yet or from what he had in his stack....

What I heard from a player in my charity room that knows the guy that hit the winning hand, was that he tipped $200. Which is $200 more than he's ever tipped in his entire life. Guy's a cheapass. No comment about missing an ID though.

Word is his $200 tip was basically his winnings from the hand and because of no id he didn't tip more because he hadn't been paid out yet. Sounds like the dealer got close to 8k from the other players, including 5k from the losing hand.

Not sure what we'll ever hear about him tipping once he got his money.

So, I asked one of the daytime dealers who is also a pretty big poker player just how much he thought would be a decent tip. He said he'd basically expect anything from 1-3% after taxes would be about expected and more would be considered a significant tip. So, on 580k, takes get about 174k, meaning if you round, 400k got paid out. Basically, you're looking at the dealers expecting 4-12k on a jackpot like that. If it's true that he got around 7-8, I'd call it about average.

But, knowing the losing hand tipped 5k, I'm not surprised by the total tip.

The River is now called One Eyed Jacks

They reopened with a new poker provider.

thank you fuzzy

I've always heard 2 to 3% for a BBJ but I didn't factor in the taxes so the 7 to 8k range sounds about right.

There is a 0% chance I'm giving anyone 8,000.

It's 8,000.

I hope they did take care of the dealer as much as was mentioned. I gave him $10 and I wasn't even at the table!! Everyone was filling out W9 forms and they took the 'winner' of the hand away from the table first. Plenty of thoughts on that in the Tipping Containment Thread on this site.

$566K x 40% (share) x 70% (post-tax) is about $160k 'take-home', so 3% would be $4750 if it went that route for the 'loser'. Table share should've been around $20k 'take home' .. you would hope that they would pass on at least a black chip on their way to the pit!!

Chips did go flying everywhere on the floor and they all were hugging and high-5-ing each other. I picked up 2 red chips from the floor a good 10 minutes after it happened by a trash can and gave them 'back' to the winner of the hand since I figured they came from him anyway. Not sure the action but I heard the 'snap' of the River card and they just stood up and went nuts after a brief pause.

I'm not sure how things went down but earlier a guy in seat 3 or 4 was told he had a seat in another game, but it was in the outer room. He didn't want to move .. not sure if he was still at the table when it hit or not. Another bad beat?

It was interesting that they took the dealer off the table per 'normal' dealer rotation and he was hanging around the cage when I cashed out. I feel sorry for the girl who took over since she probably didn't deal a hand for most of the down. I didn't really feel like playing anymore, it was 2:30 and I had a date at The Fox less than 12 hours later.

As far as my 'description' of the dealer. Those things are very touchy and I did think about it after I sent it from my phone (which I rarely use to post). My Background: I was one of only 2 white (caucasian, honky, token WB) on a college basketball team where we used pretty much every word in the book in our cross-banter regardless of race. No one knows that when they take a post for face value so I can understand potential backlash, real or otherwise.

The dealer was young ... under 30 to me is young.
The dealer was black ... African American or other
The dealer was a boy ... 'young' male

If he actually took offense to this we can talk it through the next time I'm in the room. If you are taking offense for him then it's good to know you have his back. GL

I'm referring to what the dealer should get all the way around the table and not from one individual.

For the guy who gets 40% of the pool he would be giving around 40% of 8k (looking at after tax payouts).

It sounds like a lot but this is some new found money to you that you can dream about winning in a BBJ but never should have the expectations to actually get it.

Giving the dealer who rewarded you with an unexpected six figure pay day as the loser of a hand that qualified for BBJ a proper tip shouldn't be a problem even if you go on the cheaper end around 1.5%.

I think some people over tip way too much, especially in charity rooms when I see a guy throw a dealer a red bird for every $50 pot they win. Some of these players are not very good and just get lucky short term which makes it more hilarious but in this case of a BBJ I don't think giving 2% is going over the top.

I was told last night the winner was from out of state and we will never see him again.

Winner of the hand or Winner of the bad beat (loser of the hand)?

Are you sure you don't mean 'he got run 'up-state' after they ran his ID?

Except for one person it's neither here nor there and hopefully the room will get back to more normal for the locals.

Does this room historically slow down for the Summer at all or are there just too many people in the area to even 'see' a slow down? GL
