Not really; it was a balanced discussion. People sincerely wanted to know. And of course, the vast majority of people say nothing at all, but they count too. It's not as if everyone was talking about the BBJ - but you know how it is after one hits, people ask about it.
The takeaway seemed to be that players will talk big about how much they would tip, and how much other players should have tipped, but that in reality, a $500 tip was a very normal and acceptable amount.
Of course, the big takeaway for me was that an experienced dealer tipped roughly 1% ($500) on a BBJ, and openly and honestly discussed her opinion that this was a reasonable amount, and stated that this would be normal and acceptable to the dealer community.
