Message: [QUOTE="ginwilly, post: 6753752, member: 1022247"] i used to tip way too much. I've tossed a 25 chip on a 500 pot and many 5's on 100+ pots. I play low stakes. Watching poker vlogs i see guys playing 5/10 or 10/20 tip 2 bucks on 1000 dollar pots. Now i tip a buck a pot, 2 over 100. A good dealer can deal 40 hands an hour. A dollar tip per pot is going to be around 25/hr just in tips. Home games where the dealer only gets paid in tips I still tip way too much but you want to be invited back and it's friends. Dealing is harder than it looks. A fast accurate dealer is worth a little more. Tipping is a cultural thing that may eventually go away but until it does, there is a peer pressure involved, people relying on those tips to feed the family and other factors that "make" us tip.
