JP, Christine,

Thanks you for letting IPR access to cover some of the updates on Saturday night. Tougher Johnson also gave us a hand posting here on boards and a few on IPR also.

I have to say that you guys are some team. This includes the dealers and other staff working there. I was made to feel incredibly welcome by all, and the professionalism of all staff was very impressive.

Thanks very much and i hope to work with you guys again.

Iain

I really think its very scabby, but personal its up to the players that cash them self and i don't think it should be put up on a public forum on how much was left for the dealers, as if its was done to point out the fact of how little was left, a sort of name and shame ''IMO''

It was put up so as the prizepool would be transparent.

Any time i've ever done a deal at the business end of a tournament, i'll never go for one that leaves a tip for the dealers as part of it. Its a cheap cop-out IMO and i'd much prefer to leave my own contribution.

Maybe JP received more from the players individually, but if not, it would be bad form for him to come on here to deny it.

The amounts mentioned though are laughable and insulting, especially as they are divided up amongst however number of dealers JP had over the weekend

[maloney333]

Don't get me wrong 400e is SCABBY amount for the dealers who were great all weekend, i like leaving my own tip instead of giving a group amount!
In fairness im sure some players might have left there own tip at the end???

I have to say I really enjoyed the JP Masters weekend. Fantastically run by JP and Christine and all the staff. It was my first time playing in one of these type events and I will make sure that I am available for the next one. Given the starting stack and blind structure and clock there was an incredible amount of play. The players that turned up were all good humoured and great craic so well doen to all done that played as well.

But I never saw the jelly beans JP!!

Well done again JP and Christine, see you at the next one.

I just like to point out that when posting the deals that were made we included the tip amount so that the total prize pool would be fully transparent, not to highlight any tip that was made.

As mentioned in the live updates thread I'm fairly certain that at least one player would have left his own personal tip.

I don't know if anything extra was left as Christine cashed everyone out. Christine has gone back to the states today for a holiday so I'll ask her tomorrow.

Yeah JP that was my point. There was no way that you were going to come on here and say who left tips and who didnt. As a top TD, you'd never put any of your players in a position where they'd feel like you outted them.
