Default Tipping on Jackpots

I play low stakes (6/12 to 10/20) limit holdem and am curious about how much I should tip when winning jackpot/promotion type things. Some relevant situations that have either happened or may someday happen:

1. I win $100 for 4 of a kind
2. I win $200 for a straight flush
3. I win $1000 as a table share in a bad beat jackpot
4. I win $2000 for a royal flush
5. I win $5000 as a table share in a bad beat jackpot
6. I win $20000 as the winner of a bad beat jackpot
7. I win $50000 as a the loser of a bad beat jackpot

How much would you tip in each of these situations? Thanks.

PS - I've only had to deal with 1 and 2 so far [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Tip whatever you want. Geezus, every 3 days there has to be a tipping thread lately and seems they're all about jackpots all the sudden. There's already active jackpot threads, use the search and TIP WHAT YOU WANT! You don't need the approval/advice of an internet forum to do what you want with your money. Sorry if I'm being harsh but seriously, it's your money, do what you want with it.

It's about 15 threads below this one. Enjoy.

OP - I would generally tip 5% or so across the board. Do whatever you think is best however.

Well so be it:

Considering there's already active thread on this topic, I would say to check it out. I'm just following TT and RR's rules is all and I even posted the link to the active thread.

My answer to how much you should tip is now 50%. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Just ask yourself how much Roy Williams of Detroit would tip.

Thanks for posting the link to the other post. It was very helpful and sort of confirmed my thought that 3-5 percent was pretty standard.

If you really wanted to help, you could have posted that without going off, which would have kept this thread really short and sweat, which I would presume was your goal.

I tip none. statistically, every dealer will get to deal a jackpot here and there, some time, some day. So they have no reason to get tipped big for their daily routines.
