Tipping the Dealers in Holdem Cash Games and Tournaments

Something about tipping the dealers in holdem cash games and tournaments has been bothering my mind. I typically tip a dollar to 3 dollars on pots in 1/3 2/5 cash games and tip 10 dollars if the pot is over 500. But somebody I personally know said there was a book saying that players should only tip 1-2 dollars to keep money flow in control.

Do you think tip of 1-2 dollars workable for any size pot? I’m also wondering if what is customary for tipping in tournaments. How about if you chop with 4 players? And of the people who do finish in the money, who will tip? How about re-buy tournaments? Any advice, answer or feedback will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
