was playing in a 5/10/20 live game at foxwoods (well, ive been playing all week).
foxwoods dealers split tips so typically i'll wait until i'm done for the session and toke them whatever loose change i may have off an even stack, if you get what i'm saying. (if i have 8,125 to cash out, i'll tip 25 as i get up etc.)
last night it was pretty late, like 3am, and some tourist guy who kept buying in for 500 and busted a few times decides after i win a $120 pot in a blind vs blind situation to let me know in about the rudest tone possible that "You can tip the dealers once in a while." The exact statement was something like "Not to be offensive kid, but you know you can actually tip the dealer once in a while, right?"
What's odd to me about this situation is that there were some other regulars at the table who I'd played with before who follow the same tipping method I do. There were six or seven of us at the table, and three of us didn't tip per pot, so I was initially confused as to why this man seemed to target me on this particular point.
I responded with "Listen, you paddle your canoe, I'll paddle mine." to which he started epicly blowing up and telling me that dealers work for tips, he knows we don't tip in Canada (ROFL, how the fuck does he figure I'm Canadian? No idea) that I have no business being in this game if I'm not going to tip, yadda yadda etc. etc.
I'll leave the results out for now, just curious about what your play would be here?
