Tipping Dealers for Foxwoods Act Tournaments
 

Sorry if the subject of tipping has been covered, either the search function doesn't work well, or I'm an idiot. Either way, I cannot find anything about dealer tipping.

Anyway, for my first live poker experience I plan on playing some Foxwoods Act I & II (and with some luck, maybe an Act III) tournaments. These are NL satellites for the NEPC $5,200 buy-in.

I have no idea what the tipping etiquette is for satellites. Do you tip only if win? If so, how much?

Here are the buy-ins:

Act I: $45 + $15, top 3 of 10 win $150 Act II entry

Act II: $135 + $15, top 3 of 10 win Act III entry

Act III: $420 + $30, every $5,200 in prize pool is 1 entry into NEPC

Any guidelines would be much appreciated.

I personally don't tip in these, maybe in Act III, but I don't in the other 2. Maybe I am a cheap wad, but I make up for it by being generous in the cash games.

I would first find out if any of the $15 or $30 goes to the dealer. In most satellite tourneys the dealers get some part of the house fee. If not I would give him about $8, that would be $24 if all 3 winners tip which is plenty I think.

If you can buy in the to the Act II, I certainly would - $45 + $15 is pretty strong juice.
