In cash games it’s customary to tip the dealer after winning a pot, and you’ll often hear the phrase “red bird down,” when a red $5 casino chip is dropped into the toke box.
It’s something that doesn’t happen in tournament play because the betting units have no cash value, but Will “the Poker Monkey” Souther (Biloxi, MS) is looking to change that.
@stax_poker @wpt Fellow players: Starting something new today. Tipping $5 after every dealer pushes out in tourney. Feel free to join in!
