My suggestion is that, unless you feel strongly one way or the other about tipping, watch the table and see what looks like SOP and do that.
I tend to tip $1 per pot over a given threshhold value (in 5/10 limit, the threshhold is about 4 big bets). In reality, tipping is 100% voluntary, so you decide what you're most comfortable doing.

A buck a hand
Is pretty standard for the 3/6 and 4/8 limit games I play. I'll skip it if the pot is less than say $10, and will tip more if I'm on a roll or win a particularly large pot.

At the Casino I play 1/2 at, it is usually a standard $1 tip, if at all. (>80% tip there).

In NL I tip according to the size of the pot
One thing I noticed was in casinos (AC, Vegas) the avg tip was a lot less (a few bucks a hand at 2-5 Tables) where as in the rooms that I regularly go to, it's 5 bucks for a normal pot and 10+ for a huge one (but theres lot of action and lots of huge pots). See what the norm is and adjust according to the size of the pot -- i know i tipped a lot less in Vegas last summer than I do normally bc thats what the standard seemed to be (and i was playing the same 2-5 game Im used to but the max buy in was 500 instead of 1k so less $$$ was on the table) Dealers in the rooms around here make $300-$1000 a night, im sure dealers in the casinos make a fraction of that

In Windsor, the poker room dealers (and all the dealers) pool their tips and get a daily or weekly (not sure) percentage based on hours worked. So no matter how hot the little red headed girl is who flopped me quad 2's in a raised pot against a turned set of aces and a rivered set of kings may be, she has to share my 10,000 dollar tip with the poxy faced 20 year old boy .who deals pai gow on the night shift.

come to think of it, it is probably a common practice.
