Hi,
I'm a $1 player sometimes up to $10 per hand.
Personally, I always break a Benjie myself when I go in, unless I already have at least several twenties, two fives, two tens and 20 singles on me. That arms me for whatever tipping I might have to do on a one or two day trip (depending on how many hand pays there are.) I always ask for all hundreds on hand pays. Minor hand pays, under $2K get a five, $2K to a $4K RF get a ten. Over $4K, a twenty.
If they bring me back a broken Benjie, it is ALWAYS 5 twenties. That earns them a $0 tip. On the rare occasion when I've gotten either a question, comment or dirty look, I remind them that I asked for all hundreds, and they didn't give me what I asked for. The usual excuse is, "That's what the cashier gave me"; my response, "You should have given back the twenties and gotten me what I asked for." No one has ever screwed up the second hand pay when that happened.
Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win. -Lazarus Long

I am a 25 cent vp player with an occasional fling to 50 cent territory. When I was down to my last 12.50 out of 400 and playing wishful thinking at 50 cents I hit a spade royal yesterday on a three card draw. Two thosand bucks. The attendant promply showed up and asked if I wanted all hundreds or one in "change.' This guy had replaced a bad chair for me once and turned down a tip...so I felt this was the time to reward him. He returned with my loot with the last hundred in twenties. It was obvious he was fishing for a twenty dollar tip. This turned me off . I could have asked for change of the twenty or gave him nothing. Because of our past history and the fact it was my first royal at the 50 cent level I gave him the twenty. However I think he was being blatant.
Any thoughts and what would you have done given the complete picture?
