Let them keep there own
I can say that i myself loe when i get a happy dealer who is giddy and likes to see people win, i cant stand the dealers who are so glum and just stand there miserable. I actually am a jerk to those dealers, i figure why should i be nice to someone treating me like **** i dont care if they are dealing me cards or wiping my ass you disrespect me and i send it right on back at you. Then on the other hand someone who is very pleasent and is happy when you win sorry when you dont, I like to see that person get more tips then the jerk the next table over. So i personally like it when dealers keep there tips, a place in Mississippi let the dealers keep there tips, they walk around with there little toke boxes and it works out great. I think it makes the dealers want to be mor epleasent and acomodating which can lead to tipping for better pen in some cases. I ended up playing this place more then any other in Miss when I was there for a week last month. That is just my opinion, everyone is entilted to there own and i would never speek down on someone elses opinion.

Blue, if you're feeling sour grapes over dealer tokes, what about other jobs where the pay doesn't seem commensurate with the skill (e.g. investment bank CEO)? What's sad to me about the giddy dealer was that she was so excited over $40. Must not have been a high roller joint.
A couple of times I've actually had dealers involuntarily gasping at close wins or losses, without there being a toke on the table, it's kind of fun when they get wrapped up in the game as well.
Well, that's obviously when it's the ideal time to suggest that he take the toke and cram it up his ass.

Just curious as to why you had a toke bet out there? What exactly did he say to you when you didn't double the toke bet?
Sometimes the amount of a toke is insulting. It is better not to toke than to toke a strange amount. For example, if you have a $40 dinner bill leaving 10cents is very insulting unless the service was terrible. A 10c tip will make you look worse than not tipping at all. Likewise, if you are playing black and are tipping half-dollars some dealers might find it insulting.

I have never tipped. I see it happening, but never have won enough to think they needed a tip. A tip is for good service. The last table I played at, the dealer was so big(fat) she couldn't reach over far enough to grab my bet when I lost so I kept inching the chips towards me each time just to see her grunt and reach. If I won, the next hand I put the chips closer to her. She didn't like me.
Why did I have a toke bet out there? Good question, I have no good answer!
He said "too cheap to tip on the double, huh?" in a voice where he was trying to sound like he was joking but he really wasn't. I think it was a pink chip, which was foolishly generous on my part and certainly not insulting to him. It could have been a white chip, I don't remember perfectly. But I am pretty sure it was pink.
I came quite close to talking to the PC about it, but decided the attention drawn wouldn't be worth it.

One more nice thing about dealers who go for their own
If you are playing at a go for their own joint and you tend to toke but the dealer is an ass, then not toking has an effect on his bottom line. At a pooled place, the same dealer knows that other dealers will pick up his slack.
I have had a few instances where a dealer angered me and I wanted to extract a bit of revenge on their pockets. It can not be really done in a pooled place.

$40 bucks in twenty minutes? What is the big deal about that I would have an hour almost every night where I would drop a $100 dealing. I saw one dealer once drop $3,000 in the tip pool in one hour the tips where shared and every dealer walked with $2,092 in cash the next day when we picked up are tokes from that night every dealer was estastic. Yeah $40 in twenty minutes might be above average but it is not spectacular.
