Fred,
When do you tip? Ahead of time? Because I honestly cannot imagine tipping ahead of time, and if you're already finished a tip is pointless. I've never tipped but the only occasion where I could imagine tipping in Hong Kong/Macau would be if the lady was fantastic and I planned a return visit to her.
I'd give you lots of sticks too for tipping a standard 300HK it makes absolutely no sense and will only lead to making girls expect tips from guys. Which means that I am going to had over a 500 note and have to argue to get my 100 change back. Also, the way I see it the walk up chicks set their own rates and they are their own bosses. They understand what their worth is and try to maximize their income accordingly, thus, once again by tipping, you a pushing the assumed value of their services in higher direction, which I will end up paying for.
I think the key in this whole thing is not to think or yourself, and don't think of the girl (except in exceptional circumstances), think of your fellow forum mate and the extra cost you may cause him. Then think of your forum mates child, who will not get milk that day because his/her daddy had to tip a whore.
