Unexpected Mileage and Tipping?

California
I don't imagine this happens too often but I was lucky enough for it to happen to me not too long ago. I agreed to a dance and to a rate from one of the girls. When we got back to the lap dance area she went a lot further than I was expecting. Not that I minded at all, but she hadn't made any indications beforehand that she was offering anything but a basic dance and the extras mileage was without any prompting on my part.
I honestly had to stop her for a moment to make sure this wasn't going to come back to bite me in the wallet. But she was aware I was on a budget (not how much) and that I had spent about half. She insisted she was fine with whatever I decided on. Which I assume was for the sake of deniability. Ultimately, I settled on matching the LD cost in tips (dances at the location were unusually pricey) which she seemed satisfied with. Tips and dancers worked out to about 200.
Still, I'm concerned I may have under tipped. Thoughts?

way better than getting ripped off
way better than getting into an uncomfortable negotiation with a dancer
it also feels better than the dancer asking for more money
If you plan to return to that club - that could work in your favor.
I read the OP's only review and and at least per that review dances at that club were $50/song (ouch) - that dance price probably makes it harder to get extras for a reasonable price.
Who in their right mind would pay that?
To be clear, if I did overpay that's my own problem, not the person I overpaid. I'm not under any misconception about how a club works. I'm not owed anything I don't agree to pay for.
Generally I keep myself pretty solidly to a budget when I decide to go out and I'm very up front about getting prices before accepting any service. But this came on pretty suddenly so in my inexperience I let my nerves get to me.
I'm guessing you've never clubbed in Virginia.
It is overpriced, for sure. But it's also conveniently located. And for all it's OP, the lap dance area is more of a hybrid lap/VIP area. Far, far, more privacy than the average lap dance booth, a bit less than the average VIP room.
As for the dancers walking away happy. I'd rather have them at least content rather than actively annoyed. I'll pretty consistently tip twenty for a basic dance so long as it's done well. Less for the dance per se and more because I prefer to get dances from dancers who will go the extra mile and spend some time talking, usually a new customer, for a while before moving in on the sell.
I know its part of the hustle. But those are the dancers I tend to enjoy and I get a kick out of it. I know this probably locks me into tipping a bit more for anything above and beyond the basics. But that part I'm completely comfortable with.
