do we have a link for this item ?
A dealer shouldn't be dropping ones into his tip container. They should sit on the corner of the tray or somewhere else until they can be colored up to at least a 5.ya his tips go in his cup holder , thats another thing i have to work on for him, a tip box of some sort.
This very much depends on the blinds. But I am assuming if you are getting over 4K in play, you are probably playing at least 1-2, which to me means 800 is WAY TOO MUCH if the singles are the blind chip.background info: i host a bi weekly game with a full table and a dealer who is paid by tips only. bank in play by mid game is about 4-6K
by mid game all 800 $1 chips are felted. some of my regulars complain about the amount of $1s in play ( too many)
8 racks of 1s
4 racks of fives
1 rack of 25s
1 rack of 100s.
what do you think? should i scale back the 1s ? i really love my 1s.

Couldn't disagree more with this take. It is tacky as hell to keep tips in view. Thank the player, pocket it (or ideally drop box it) and move on.A dealer shouldn't be dropping ones into his tip container. They should sit on the corner of the tray or somewhere else until they can be colored up to at least a 5.
Totally disagree. Perfectly fine for an unpaid dealer to keep three quarter chips or four dollar chips off to the side before coloring them up (to either $1 or $5) and dropping it in the tip box. Keeps the lowest-quantity needed chips in play.Couldn't disagree more with this take. It is tacky as hell to keep tips in view. Thank the player, pocket it (or ideally drop box it) and move on.
Where can i see a full image of this table???
If you are playing the game that is good enough to solicit tips, this wreaks of a cheap shortcut.Totally disagree.

Noted, I'll start altering my cash set recommendations to two racks of the lowest denomination if tipping dealers is an allowed practice. ::eyeroll::If you are playing the game that is good enough to solicit tips, this wreaks of a cheap shortcut.
It sends the message to the tipper, thanks, but this isn't big enough for me to collect just yet, because this game is cutting a corner on denominations. It's subtle, but there is a bit of shaming here.
Buy the extra rack of singles and accept the chips with grace as soon as offered.
Once I give a tip, I've never really concerned myself with what the dealer does with their money. However, this is simply a way to keep small denom chips in play, nothing more.If you are playing the game that is good enough to solicit tips, this wreaks of a cheap shortcut.

And again as I said above, if the game is good enough to solicit tips, it should good enough to just provide the extra chips without needing to take the shortcut.Once I give a tip, I've never really concerned myself with what the dealer does with their money.

I've never seen this for tips only for rake.For home games I find time collection much better than tipping individual pots.
apologies for the threadjack @Mike mac
I've never played in a raked home game.I've never seen this for tips only for rake.
There are limits. There should not be EIGHT HUNDRED of the lowest denomination on the table. 2-300, sure, and definitely more than 100!PCFers are so funny. In threads like this they’re all like “that’s too many of XYZ chip in play” but ten minutes later in another thread they’ll be screaming “BUT MOAR CHIPS”.
I see your logic for this, but I disagree.And again as I said above, if the game is good enough to solicit tips, it should good enough to just provide the extra chips without needing to take the shortcut.
I get it seems inefficient, but I think simplicity of just collecting the tips make sense here. Even if it's few players that see it the way I do, it just seems a small thing to keep tipping convenient and gracious.
Saw your pic and I have a question. Who is Trump?
Where can i see a full image of this table???
Agreed, but when I’m playing .25/.50 I would much rather have 100 more fracs on the table than 25 $1s because I like lots of chips on the table. Makes people feel rich!!! HahaThere are limits. There should not be EIGHT HUNDRED of the lowest denomination on the table. 2-300, sure, and definitely more than 100!
Just step up to 5/5 manI'd say 300, but honestly 200 should be plenty. But it depends how many if the Taj Mahal $1s you have. If you have 200 I'd do 200. If you have 300 I'd do 300.
For my 1/2 game (which admittedly plays a bit higher with sometimes getting 10-20k in play) I use 140-160. I think 100 is too few. 200 would be fine.
It's ridiculous, i know, lol. We just find it fun stradling 6x and stuff like thatJust step up to 5/5 man
