That's a different situation.
The newbie you were referring to in my case is helping me win more. It's changing the play at the tables. Some players will chase a card to win HHJ even though it's bad play in a certain situation in the long run. Who wouldn't chase? After all, if you hit it, you win up to $2,000! That's $50/hr per 40 hr/week.
The HHJ runs every 3 hours, and within three hours, quads and straight flushes always hits. It's guaranteed. When a donk has 23s or 22, and you raise to $100 (unusual raise btw pf in $1/2), he will call easily hoping to hit a straight flush or quads.
And if this 'regular' is making only $11-15/hr before or after HHJ rake, then he should find two jobs.
I don't think anyone who plays "poker for a living" makes anything below $20/hr. Would you really call it "playing for a living" if you're making anything below that? If you're making only $11-15/hr from poker, how are you able to pay rent, insurance, gas & grocery?
If you really want to save, then you shouldn't tip the dealer during the game. Tip only when you win HHJ. I tip both.
