Default Tipping Philosophy

My standard tipping practice is to tip a percentage of my win at the end of the night rather than tipping each individual pot I win. I do this only at casinos where all dealers chop tips (at dealer keeps casinos, i tip after each rotation). I think that, absent any unusual difference in the quality of the dealers, the tip should be proportional to the win. I also had a tendency, when I tipped every pot, to forget, and this method avoids that problem. I do supplement my standard 2% by tipping more when the dealers are good, and tipping sometimes even if I lose, but I always do it at the end of the night. I'm not stingy about tips, especially when I have a big win ... I've tipped $30-$40 on a 1K win in a 2-5 no limit game, when the dealers were good all night. But, on a bad night I suppose i look like an a-hole. I'm a winning player and over the long run I am sure it evens out or the dealers may even do better with this method. Any B&M regulars have thoughts on or problems with this? Just curious.
