1yr agoAs someone who used to make half his income in poker and then became a whale because I got a lucky career: f that. If people shame you, use it to tilt them. No offense and all due respect to you, because the game passed me by for the most part and you're making money, but don't be so weak or thin-skinned. It's not Kenny Rogers days, but there's still a modicum of toughness involved in live poker and you can do it. Tilting players substantially increases your edge so if you're getting flack, use it to your advantage. I threw a red bird at a player once and told him to buy a tampon. Be brave and let that work to your advantage. You're counting outs and ranging people and hopefully keeping your frequencies appropriate for the table, and they're making bad decisions because they want to "get you." It's great. They're not on your level and caring about what they think is like caring what the pigeons in the park think.
I'm sorry if this isn't exactly what you were looking for but please just stop caring about how much you tip. If I had a kid that's what I'd tell him. Don't let having been a dealer propagandize you. Do what you want. And tell more stories so I can live vicariously through you. :p...

2yr agoI’m thinking about using those $1 coins as chip protectors and tipping. Anybody ever seen this?
And if I’m feeling cheap maybe I’ll use the half dollar coins instead. Or specially only use those in the smaller preflop type pots and sub 9 bb pots that I normally wouldn’t tip in. Thoughts?
They have $1 chips for a reason. Don't be weird.
I agree that some pots might be worth a 50 cent tip rather than $1, but a better way to accomplish this is to tip a dollar on one tiny pot and tip nothing on the next tiny pot. Dealers will not appreciate a 50 cent tip....
