Hey, Spook - funny sig. But did you notice that they forgot a '\n' on the printfs? All those lines will be printed in a row. That's no good.
|
That must be why the teacher is pissed.  I would always forget the \n. Formatting printf statements is such a pain in the arse.
I'm sorry I even perpetuated this conversation. It's negative and Jason has his own reasons for not tipping. I'm biased so I'll shut up about that now.
Back to some other points in the thread.

3. Is it considered universally rude to leave a table after winning a big hand?
|
I think it USED to be considered rude to leave a table right before the BB hits you. I've noticed a lot of the old timers will play the blinds and their button before they leave, especially if they are winning. 90% of all players that don't go bust as their means of an exit are waiting to play every free hand they can, and this is totally acceptable. Leaving after a winning hand is just fine too. I wouldn't do it though. Who the hell wants to leave after dragging a big pot anyway?

Is it customary to announce "I'm going to be leaving at such-and-such time" or "after one more orbit" etc?
|
Nope. But if you want to be cool, you can let the dealer know that you are going to leave when the big blind gets to you or something. That way they can have a player ready to fill your spot. That helps keep the list moving. No obligation to the other players though. Remember, those guys are trying to take your money. Make small talk and whatnot, but don't forget that they want your chips.

The thing that annoys me about tipping dealers (at least at Foxwoods) is that they pool the tips and split them between all the dealers.
|
I was in that situation for years when I dealt craps, blackjack, etc. It sucked ass. The players knew we split, and I had to split tips with people that had absolutely no personality, dealing skills or people skills. The casino does it so they don't have to worry about which dealer is getting which table. This way they can also put their stronger dealers on the bigger games and not have the weaker dealers complain about making less money. Customer service will suffer when the dealers don't keep their own.
