How much or what % would you tip someone who could send you live rec fish to your card room/table?

Obviously it would depend on stakes etc so if you answer please include your stake.

btw this question is for market research purposes to help a friend who works in a large luxury London hotel.

I would tip 5.48 for each player at lower stakes. I am in US though, not sure how much that is in British currency...

ICWUDT!

That's low for 1-2 for deep rec fish. Its about £3.50. probably not worth his bother to risk his job etc. I suppose a % of profits would be better. Obviously not of losses. And the higher stakes the better.

Plus I like how you are so specific with your figure. 5.48. Alot of people would just have said 5.50 but kudos to you.

^^^ lololololololol That could not have played out better.




Are you talking about that hotel chain sending a fish to a casino? Who is paying the hotel for this, the casino or a player? If it's the establishment of a poker room, they're not getting any more than what they get from any player (unless this guy is a total whale that games are built around). If it's a player, is it really quantifiable? Is it paid per session? Is it a percentage of the profit from only the fish? This seems like a stretch for a business venture.



*edit* still laughing. He even included "about" in there.

What kind of fish? I like pan seared salmon with asparagus and hollandaise sauce.

In this case it would be a couple of hotel employees recommending a few local poker rooms. The rooms are in casinos.

They would be looking to be paid by regs in the poker rooms for their services. Its a large hotel over 500 plus rooms so there's plenty of expense account businessmen and wealthy ( maybe not whales but upper middle income wealth) guys in the bar asking about places to go for fun, chicks etc. So probably deep 1-3, 2-5 maybe 5-10. He already sent one Saudi and his friends but only one played poker and rest table games. That was 5-10 and the Saudi lost about £2500 in 30 minutes.

Did I use the wrong currency exchange? I said about 3.50 because it could change at any time. 5.48 is a very specific figure. Maybe hes taken rake into consideration and it worked out that 5.48 was his in profit figure.. Anyway 3.50 sounds better than 3.52.

Sounds tasty. But I am talking about Live fish not cooked. Not that Japanese eat it whilst its live either btw

Why shouldn't it be based on the amount of money the customers are losing on average?

In some cities that have legal brothels, cab drivers receive a fixed "delivering fee" for every customer they drop of at those places.
Same goes for Vegas and Strip Clubs, I believe it's $20-50 per person there?

I'm crying.

Wait just a minute, what if the fish gets lucky and wins, do we get a refund? What if the fish gets really really lucky and wins a bad beat jackpot, never to be seen again? In that case I think it's only fair for the casino to sue the hotel and its fish forwarding employees.

Awesome. Just awesome.

You have to be more confident in your edge. If I thought what if I don't aim straight down at the toilet and wet the floor , wall etc I would never take a leak.

This is eye opening. I think I'll ask the floor how much he gets paid by all the best regs for them to get sent to my table. If he doesnt cut me in a little just to wet my beak, I may play less and cause the whole THR 2/5 economy to crumble.

Dear OP,

Thank you for being amazing.

Love,

Everyone

Great idea. But maybe a % of profits depending on fishiness or a % of buyin are also reasonable.

Dont cry whats wrong?
Well he will have to see if it works first. Count count the chickens before their hatched.
Ive heard they do get tips from some regs. But its Christmas soon and you must be getting your beak wet enough in real life to play 2-5 regularly. You surely cant lose all the time.

You're right, I do win sometimes. Mostly when I table my hand and realize I misread my cards.

Post of the month

Well done you tricked me.

Thats what all the hustlers say. If every poker hustler gave me a $ for every time they said that Id be a rich man.

Yes it was very clever he tricked me

OK, just in case OP really hasn't figured it out yet, "about three-fifty" is a joke answer on the 2+2 forums, referenced often as a answer to a question (usually one asking for a number, which cannot really be answered properly from the information given). I don't know where it comes from, maybe someone else could share that.

TY

Yes, this is easily the funniest thread I've ever seen in B&M.

Googling about tree fiddy will do it.

But how would you tell the "fishiness" of a player or how much he is going to spend? That's just not possible.

Nitty looking guy might get drunk and spew off 10 stacks, while the guy that looks like a russian degen is a former chess grandmaster who crushes the game.

Send a couple people over and if the regulars like what they see, tell them to pool money and pay you $50-100 per customer. I doubt less than that is profitable and worth the risk.

To be honest I only figured it out after I replied the 1st time.
For ruining the fun?

And heres the link for anyone who doesn't know although I still don't see why its funny. Its quite tragic really but i suppose Bigfish81 was raising awareness. Kudos to you again.

Very true. Good points. its hard to tell whos going to be the loser on first sight. $50-$100 sounds better than a lousy 3.50.

Flawless victory.
