The pool thing is totally optional but I've seen people tip zero even after they won the pool. If I win the pool the mate gets a chunk if not all of it but that's just me. I tip no matter what. If you don't get a keeper it's not the mates fault. "That's why they call it fishing!" Just because you didn't have a fish to clean doesn't mean you got bad service. If you ate out and the food stunk it's not your servers fault. Maybe don't eat there anymore but tip, for Christ's sake.
If the mate sucks than by all means feel free to stiff 'em. Otherwise, pony up Cheapskate!
