yeah def tip in a live game. few bucks depending on the size of the pot. I always end up wishing I tipped less if I end up having a bad sessions after starting off good

I'm actually happy I tipped at that point, cause at least the dealer made something. I figure I would have just lost those extra chips anyways.

I totally agree.

hmm interesting thread. I generally tip 1 dollar even if i just win a small 6 dollar pot. But then I also only tip 2 dollars-3 dollars if the pot is 200.

I think the fact that i Tip 1% roughly on the bigger pots, evens out the high percentage i lose from small pots. I tend to try not make money by stealing blinds, as i feel if Im tipping each time i win, i have to be stealing too high of a time, to make it worthwhile.

I'm still interested in hearing about tipping for tournament cashes. Any opinions?

I tip 10%, but I play low buy-in tourneys, so my cashes are less than $400. I think if I was playing higher buy-in tourneys I would drop the amount I tip. Like I once hit a video poker machine for 5k, and I think I tipped 200, so the more I win, the smaller % I tip. The dealers don't make that much in tips on tournaments, so I feel the need to tip well because I get along with most dealers.
