Follow Up to the Follow Up

A follow up to the follow up by Mr. Grouch and a follow up to the original post by Mr. Fish. I haven't been playing lately, but I'm surprised you guys never once mentioned the word 'Position'. :D Sometimes, bad hands can be masked just by being on the button. You can sometimes get away with K9's if you bet good and know who's in the pot. Maybe the guy with the Kournikovas will think you landed a set or two pair if you reraise him. Position will always dictate how you play, so aside from choosing the PREMIUM hands, play your position and your opponent. I'd like to relate this to Chess and the Camp's new found online game, www.TacticsArena.com. I strongly recommend this brain-teasin' game!

I'm wondering what the M.O. in playing in a cash game with a dealer. Any thoughts out there on how much to tip the dealer, or if you even have to? I think this is a pretty good topic to talk about.
