I’m hoping to play my first “big” tournament next weekend. There is a staff fee taken out of the entry fee, does that affect tipping? Should I cash (or shudder to think, win) what is an appropriate tip amount? Thank you.

I dont pick a set %. I usually take home the big bills and tip with the leftover smaller ones when I min cash. Somewhere between 20-50 bucks on min cashes. These are mostly $400 BI tho so a min cash is in the 650-1000 range.

On my 6 figure score a couple years ago I stuffed like $2500 in the box (about 2%). I don't actually know if that is high or low compared to others in that situation. The dealers on the Circuit were still nice to me after so I guess it was enough.
