If I am on vacation and this happens at a random place, then I tip a small percentage. However, as a dealer myself I am known thoughout most of the area cardrooms as a good tipper and I have to live up to that BECAUSE it all comes back to me because these dealers come play in my room and tip me. So if it's local I think I tip like $5,000... if I'm on vacation then something like $2,000
This is actually exactly along the line of thinking that I took when I tipped. This is my home card room in which I have gotten to know all the dealers and a good number of the regulars. I did end up tipping $5,000 and have taken some grief from friends thinking this was too much. Maybe it was, but whether I went home with $78,000 or $73,000 I was still having a good night and luckily I'm at a point in my life where I have no debt and no money worries so I could spread it around a little and not worry about it.
