Hey guys, another question at yall. So while I tip an average of $10 per session, my tip rate is quite low at 25-30% (ex: if I win like $150, I won't tip), but over my life time record that has been tracked, I tip at a rate of $1/hour. Which I think is not okay considering the fact that a safe EV with low RoR puts me around $35/hr. When I feel a little frisky and believe the pit boss for that shift is lax, then I'll probably average a $50/hr. I think $1/hr tip at $35/hr is too much. what do you think?
Scenario that happened today at my session: TC finally starting getting hot, for the past 30-40 minutes I've been min betting $10. Now I ramp, lose, ramp, lose, ramp, lose. A cycle of pulling money out, eventually leading my $10 bet to 2 x $400. I get an okay hand and 8s VS 3, so I split and get another split. Hand holds up, deck runs cold after the next hand which I lose by splitting aces against a 10 and I decide to cash out. If my typical average EV is $35/hr, how much would you tip here. Instead of being down $1500, I came up like $800-900. I was also blasting it at near table max, so being stingy and tipping $5 seems like suicide in the eyes of the pit boss.
I threw a green chip at them and left. Obviously $5 here is far too little and this is my reg spot, so I do want to tip for the sake of cover (they realize Im up to something by this point). So should it be $10? $15? $20? Are these numbers too much considering my hourly? I certainly believe $25 is too much. Remember I only tip 25% of my sessions after showing my max bets, otherwise I don't tip at all, thus my average tip $1/hr. What would you do here? Are these number sound? Is it still too much?
Tip 5 red or 1 green?
