I can't believe I read the whole thread.

Ok. Some of my thoughts.

Tippers and People who receive tips will never agree on what the optimal or acceptable tip is. Especially when there are many different ways for the player to tip.

Some will try to figure out what a dealer is making if they tip nothing. Oh, you only make 3.61/hour? I'll tip enough to make it 10/hr. Or 20/hr. Whatever.

Some will base it off prize pool. I made $8M, 1% doesn't hurt me....bam 80k!

If 65% of 1.8% of my buyin goes to a dealer pool, have I already tipped $177? Or has the winner gained that money as his tip?

I really don't know. I haven't won big in a tourney, so I haven't faced this situation yet. I just know there will never be an answer.
