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.

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 · 12-05-2009 2:46pm

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.

ill agree with everypost on the scabby tip as i was 1 in the 4 left on the side game but as i posted on the night ill be catching up with jp in trinity on wednesday---to be honest when the deal was done i wasnt thinking of the money i was thinking of winning and the money is still in the envelope as when it was over i was just thyinking of bed....

once again the dealers done a fantastic job and JP ran a great weekend

joe mckeever · 13-05-2009 4:47am

Well done John paul, I Had 4 players playing in your main event, they all enjoyed it, and told me it was a top class tournament, as i knew it would be, congrates 2 Gerry Carrick cashed out 4 5000 euro,

Jayminator · 13-05-2009 2:37pm

Sigh........ I aint gotten into a position of being able to even leave a tip in nigh on 2 years now..

JP Poker · 13-05-2009 4:21pm

I spoke to Christine about this and I can confirm the players left an individual tip on top of the one that was given when the deal was made.

Again I wasn't in anyway trying to highlight the amount of the tip at the time of the deal just trying to be transparent with the total prize pool.

JP-Christine · 13-05-2009 4:27pm

The only reason that I included those tips amounts for the dealers was so that all of the prize pool was accounted for in the breakdown of the prize payouts. Those amounts were decided when the deals were done.

I was never trying to point out that people did not leave appropriate or generous tips. Many, if not most, people left individual tips when they were knocked out. But I don't believe that information is anyone's business and it would be extremely unprofessional for me to post it. (Many people did leave very nice tips and the dealers are very appreciative.)

Sorry I was a little late responding, but I spent most of Tuesday traveling to the States and finally got a good night's sleep.:D

Sorted, now go enjoy your holiday

tylerdurden94 · 13-05-2009 10:41pm

I have never or would never feel obliged or made to feel guilted into leaving tips, i will tip where i feel a tip is approporiate, restaurant/poker game/getting a haircut be whatever it maybe.

I am finicky when it comes to dealers, very picky and particular, did the dealers do a great job over the coarse of the tournament for me, without a doubt they did, the dealers keep the game flowiing nicely and were in total control, one example, on the second day we are getting down to the final table player 1 raises and player 2 is deliberating over if he should call or not, says something along the lines of "i have that hand from last night" and the dealer steps in and says "im sorry but you cant be making suggestions like that in the middle of hand" i have seen this many a time when a dealer just lets something like that go, excellent awareness from the dealer. I just cant say enough good things about them.

Each to their own and all that.....

So when are these going to the hendon mob so i can finally get a profile
