I always over tip my rare tourney scores, it's a sickness. I do healthy tips on the cash tables as well. However if I find out on the cash tables that the individual tips are not going to that dealer but are going into the pot for either all the dealers or all of the dealers & Couplers which was the case at the recent SPT venue, I stop tipping on winning hands altogether and make a big tip if I'm fortunate to leave the table with any chips.
I actually made a comment on someone else's tipping last Friday which I would normally never do. It was a 1 1 game and the gentleman to the right of me, after losing 5 or 6 buy ins suddenly found his boom switch. QQ double up, KK double that, AA big pot win all in four hands. The sixth hand was kings again but he got it all in pre for a huge pot against aces. He binks a straight and a 500-600 quid size pot is being pushed his way.
Now, due to the rake the odd 50p chip is included in the pot and these were normally (but not always) thrown back to the dealer. So this guy is stacking is newly binked chips and he just throws back the 50p. It was more out of shock than anything else that made me say 'Dude, seriously?' Now I know I shouldn't have said anything, but wouldn't you throw in a little more in after a coup like that?
If i'd ever made the money in a live tournament i'd tip the dealer. I've never played cash in a casino but i'd tip at the end if I was up for the evening. As for the ammount to tip, I think some people are slightly more generous than others. I realise dealing at a poker table can be hard work and fairly low paid work at that so i'd be fairly generous.

Expanding on this further........ I think what Tikay said last night is the correct way to go about this.
It shouldn't matter if you're up or down for the session, if a dealer has dealt well they should be tipped regardless.
Don't forget tonight is the final episode of the UK Cash Game. Sam Razavi and our very own Carlo Citrone will be joining the table from the very start of the show. PLUS watch to see the infamous argument between Neil Channing and Carlo Posted by Sky_Claire
If that was an infamous argument between 2 grown men then i suggest you get out more ))))) They were like 2 silly little kids, please tell them just grow up . Mick.
