there's nothing wrong with this line of thinking. I tip, but far less than most players. I play 1500-2000 hours a year, and all those tips add up to a very large number. I only tip a small number of dealers, and I don't tip them for every pot. that keeps my expenses down.

the chips belong to you, and you can do what you want with them. these guys who are calling you names and trying to make you feel guilty about not tipping are fools. let them throw their money away while you are counting yours.
