That's how I tip. I treat dealers with great respect and I protect them from abuse from other players the best I can.

I've often wondered if dealers could choose, which would it be, respect with a decent wage paid by the casino, or abuse with lower pay, dependent on tips (from people you often despise)?

Denmark, Australia, New Zealand and China have had traditions where tipping was considered a bit of an insult, moreover it servers to distort the dealers' ability or propensity to treat the players impartially.
