Just talked to one of my dealer sources — a reliable one, with decades worth of experience, not the sort who just likes to bitch after blowing a night\’s worth of tips playing video poker … and she tells me, \”In the six years I have been dealing here [at the WSOP] this is by far the worst.\” She says she knows the economy is bad, \”but this year they stiff you all the time. More of them.\”
The worst game for dealers is supposedly 7-card stud (no relation to previous post), where she is regularly making $2-$3 a down (a half-hour shift).
Her best down so far has been $57. \”But that only happened once.\”
The tables that provide the best, or at least most reliable tips: $2/$5 no-limit, and $5/$10 PLO. \”But never the highest stakes [$25/$50] PLO. Those guys never tip.\”
