If you don't tip - watch out for the disgruntled dealers that are out to get you. I know a lot of dealers that will intentionally kill your hand if you leave it unprotected for just a second if you aren't a tipper. Interpret the slightest motion as a check, etc. There aren't a whole lot of places where the dealer can screw you over, but if you aren't tipping you'd better do everything right.

One place they can get you as well is splashing the pot. People tend to get cocky or excited or whatever and throw chips across the table when it's time to bet. Sometimes when people do that their chips will land in the pot or close to it. I have only seen it happen one time, and the dealer was being a dick the whole time besides this incident, but a guy called a $4 bet when the dealer wasn't looking and 2 chips went into the pot. Play did not continue until the guy eventually bet an additional $2 because the dealer didnt see him actually put all 4 chips on the table the first time.
