More Information

Dealers at a poker table work long hours and typically make terrible tip money at most low stakes poker games. They are also the source of unfair berating from poker players bemoaning their own bad plays or bad beats. Typically a poker player will toke a dealer $1 for every small pot won and more for bigger pots.
