And finally, read for comprehension the following sentence:

I think that for many people, the massive amount won at a BBJ shifts the tipping from what is customary in poker to what is customary in other table games.
Note the bolded part. Maybe you're not one of the many - but speaking as someone who has dealt a Bad Beat hand and knowing many others who have, I can say that your view is the minority. Most people who win even table shares in my room and dealers who dealt it in other rooms will tell you that most people tip using casino standards rather than poker standards because the reward (and the risk) much more closely approximates table games.
Feel free to disagree with the logic, feel free to tip whatever you want, but disagree with the fact that your view is in the minority at your own peril. You have the minority view.

Again, if they want to tip more, fine. That is up to them.
Just don't tell people how much more they should tip. $500 is more than $1. But on a $50K payout, most dealers would consider that "cheap".
By the standards of what has become customary, you are cheap. Of course, it's your right to be cheap. But that doesn't change the fact that by what is customary, you are being cheap.
