$30 on $130 is nice, but it's so little above the baseline amount in dollars that it's not worth stressing over. 20% (standard tip at a nice place for GOOD to EXCELLENT service, which you should absolutely expect for an expensive meal) is $26.

I'm always happy to see the dealers receive a large tip from someone. If I tipped like this though, I would be on the rail in no time flat, so it's not an option for me.

This is worth noting. Generous tippers keep good dealers in the business. Occasionally someone will try to convert one of the generous tippers into a non-tipper so they can get more of the money. These people generally need to go.
Someone told me a story of a heads up 300-600 game (that took place when 10-20 was a big game). There was a well known player (who just about everyone here has heard of) and his target. It was a private game and they got one of the best dealers in the place to deal it. The target started off tipping on every hand he won. Then the well known player says "we can just take care of him when we are done." This kept the live one from tipping and then when the well known player was done he stiffed the dealer.
