Man the tips this week must've been big...

Now that the bad beat has gone off, I don't have to go and wait hours for a table...

Played at BLVD like 3 times, didn't like it.

before some of you say OHHH cuz you suck and lost your money. No 2 out of 3 I have won.
Its just the atmosphere, the staff aren't has nice or helpful. And the biggy its a long driveway especially during traffic hours.

so how much was the table share? like $6500+ for each player?

Omg bad beat hit again in two days now bb at 23k

Law of averages?

20k for the loser. 10k for the winner.

you'd think that, but i remember when working at edgewater few years back one hit at 112k ish and there was less than 1000 tip in TOTAL. people can get pretty cheap when THAT much money is infront of them.

it's very common for then to come in waves when a big one hits

The guy who won the big portion of Cascades 270K didn't tip anything. $135,000, he ordered drinks for the table and the total was $49.xx he gives the waitress $50 and doesn't tip anything for the BB.

I wouldn't tip to be honest unless the dealer gets his own tip instead of sharing tips like the casinos in Canada.
Think about it, if the bb is at 630k the tip is probably 800k or more.
Player usually tip a dollar for every pot they won. No point tipping the bb dealer coz it's not like he gets everything. I don't mind tipping them under the table tho, as long as he is not afraid of getting fire

If thats your reason for not tipping I'm assuming you'd meet with the dealer outside of work and give him some money? :) BTW if I won a huge one I'd probably split the tip, I'd give part of it at the casino and I'd slip the other half to the dealer another time when he/she's not at work.

^ lol I edited my post before I saw yours. Yea I don't mind tipping under table

I was a regular in GCC (boulevard) before. I go there every day except weekend and I did a calculation of my tip for 1 week just for fun and added up to be 172 dollars. I usually tip 1 per hands, it's heavy amount when you go there almost everyday, it sure adds up.

It's probably a mute point anyway. I've played about 1200 hours of poker at the casino over the last year and I've only been in the poker room once when the bad beat hit and it wasn't my table. I'll probably never get so much as a table share. :)

I've tipped dealers outside before - makes the most sense to me. I still tip dealers accordingly but if I run good or I can tell the dealer really wants me to win, hell yeah. I'm not going to let my huge tip get split amongst other dealers. (both on poker and table games)

Hahha 3 bb happened when I played in casino over the years and it sucked !! Especially I just moved to 3/6 from 1/2 10 mins prior my 1/2 table hit lol

O well, if I was on the table the outcome wouldn't be the same anywyas

With that said, I will tip whoever sit out the hand. I've seen people argue for not receiving money from the bb owner or calling him cheap for giving little money. I'm on the sit out player side in this case tho

the BB at Cascades was 232k and he tip the dealer $10 and he ask for all Cash so he can take it back to the US $9000 at a time.

thats the stupidest idea ever.
why didnt he open a bank account here and wire it to his bank lol

Bad beat is building up pretty good at Boulevard again. Anyone go this weekend?

I went. It's only at about 70k on Friday.

Last weekend was 170k-ish.

Ah ok. I didn't go this week and thought it would've been over 200k right now. Any idea when it hit?

Wednesday at like 6-8pm.

It was A-10 suited vs. something, AAA1010 over straight flush. It was approx 175k?

Cool, thanks.

At our game last night, my friend was telling me about a hand at a house game that was pretty interesting:

Board: 6s, 8s, 9s - 10s - Kh

One person has the 7s, bets the river and a strong player almost instantly ships it. Person with the 7s thinks for a long time, then calls. Result is pretty sick.

One person at our game said they could fold it, the rest said if he has it, you just gotta pay him off. What do you guys think? And say the stakes matter a lot.
