What I did....
I played in my first "big tourney" in Anchorage in 2013 against a 68 player field. I got lucky and won around 3,700 bucks. I gave the gal running it 100 bucks.. She was happy, I was happy, my wife was happy. I am not a great big tipper or a tight wad and I'm not a millionaire. There a have it.
