Historically they did. IIRC the big game of $2k/$4k mixed would play $100k cap for PLO and NLHE (presumably those were 500/1k blinds).

almost always. for say 4k/8k it would be around 100k cap. so id say 200k cap for this game. not sure what the blinds would be for a 10k/20k limit but maybe 2k/4k

The big bet cap in mix games is nearly always 10 BB of the limit rounds

It said mixed game 8...which I believe means it can be 8-handed so there isn't any stud games in that mix. Right now they have 40/80 mixed game 7...which is 7 handed

You mean so there aren't any draw games? Because traditionally stud is spread 8 handed. Draw is what is traditionally 6max for triple draw, 7max for single draw.

Always wondered about that. I have heard that High stakes tables don't tip any better than a 2/5. Would like to hear more either way.

Players might not have small enough change to tip.

Many of those high stakes games tip the dealer at the beginning while paying time [Not sure if they have a time rake procedure at that game]. Dealer can usually expect to get $25 and not much else unless you have a whale in the game. The most skilled dealers [And hottest women] might have the preference of a 2/5 or PLO game game with a bunch of tourists. Some of those high stakes guys aren't the most savory individuals and obviously can get away with snide comments better than the average player.

I dealt the big game, when you deal any game in Bobby's Room and 200/400 and higher after you push the first hand that player who wins pays time for everyone plus $25 tip for the dealer for the half hour. Not everyone will tip though so you better hope someone good is in the game that will "remind" them.
