All the vegas properties do it, for diamond as well. I'll be really curious to see if that policy will change at this years WSOP cash games. They recently started matching MLife players of similar level to diamond so there will be more diamond players than ever coming into the games.

Yes definitely for seven stars. Generally true for diamond also. At least earned versus matched diamond.

What's the best response when a pit dealer does the middle finger thing to everybody like in the below picture? (I know they're just miserable and it's not personal.)

The middle finger is such a versatile finger that it could just be habit. I'd let him know as he might not be aware of it.

The dealer you took a picture of is probably sloppy though but I'm just basing this on the orientation the shoe.

Same as all the other casinos. They get paid hourly. If they deal tournaments, they get paid a flat rate for each tournament table. If they deal satellites or cash games, they get to keep whatever chips the players give them.

They pay you and it's easy to get a job. They give you arguably the hardest audition you can get in Vegas, and then hire you anyways.

Ponder whether you might be the miserable one, searching for ways that others might be disrespecting you. If he's doing it to everyone it's likely just the easiest way to do it and he probably doesn't realize anyone is taking offense.

The best response is to do nothing, and stop thinking he's miserable.

He's not doing anything to you or to everybody, he's moving cards in the way that is most comfortable for him. If you take offense at this, or even notice it, there is something wrong with you, not with the dealer's behavior.

Or maybe you're being a jerkwad and the best way to make people not give you the finger is to not make them want to give you the finger.

It's most likely just how he does it. Maybe he has a cut on his pointer finger or accidentally shoved a card under his nail earlier in the day.

Services like haircuts and massages are usually 30% tip. But, I get massages at the table at $20 for 15 minutes, and I just give a $25 chip per 15 minutes. In your case I may still tip $5 per 15 minutes even though it's a lower percentage. I'm pretty cheap, though.

This might be an easy one. 1/2 NLHE, 3 players see a flop. SB checks, BB bets, Button min raises. SB jams for only a little more than the min raise. BB can fold (of course) or a: only call the all-in; b: has all options open?

Button snap called (OOT) the all-in, stating that the BB can't raise, and he was calling whether or not the BB called. I argued the BB had all options open because the button had raised (a full raise, if it matters) the BB's open.

Caused quite a discussion, some yelling and conflicting rulings. After much discussion, it was ruled that the BB could not raise the all-in.

BB bets X, B raises to 2X, SB 'calls' 2X+ (all in) .. BB options?

BB has all options since 2X+ minus X is .. more than X
BB min raise is 2X+ plus X .. or 3X+ (X over SB shove, NOT 3X)

B is now forced to call 2X+ if BB chooses to flat (OOT action)
B will have all options if BB raises to 3X+ or more and is no longer committed to the '+' chips

Not sure how the Floor(s) couldn't follow the action with 'only' 3 Players involved. GL

Now, if BB calls the SB's under raise, then the Button can only call or fold. SB's action does not reopen action to button, but that does not apply to BB, and this should be a very simple ruling.

Talk to the room manager and let them know their guys blew it.

BB has all options since he hasn't acted on the raise by B

B will have all options if BB raises to 3X+ or more and is no longer committed to the '+' chips
