Default How much to toke at the end of a MTT?


Just wondering what you guys tip at the end of a multi-table tournament (assuming you're in the money).

I usually tip 5%, which comes out well. Most tournaments I play in pay out 5500 to first place, which means a tip of almost 300 bucks.

But I'm in the final table of a tournament that pays out $35,000 to the winner. IF I can pull a win, do I still tip 5%? That's $1750! Any advice from those who regularly play B&M tournaments would be appreciated.

3% is acceptable. Make sure to find out whether the tip is already taken out of the prize pool.

I dont tip. Just take a screen capture, sign off and go to the bars. Is there a tip option in one of the menus?

No tip money is take from the prize pool. From what i've read, 5-10% for small wins (maybe up to a couple thousand). And for larger tournaments, with wins of thousands or tens of thousands, then 3% is good and 5% is being very very nice.

Does this sounds right?

I usually send the support person (if we chop) $20 and Lee $20 using the transfer system.
