Re: Spotting fake hundos
As a dealer, THANK YOU to people who sell chips when we need them. I had a heck of a time at a 15/30 game this morning. A lot of fish buying in short, people insisting on holding onto those $100 chips until the last minute, and the night shift rotating with the daytime shift. Also crazy mad action, lots of side pots. The chip runner was having a hard time keeping up, and I only had at most a stack in my rack at any time. At the same time, I had to fix up a rack left as a mess by the previous dealer and deal with some late time charges. So, er, I was busy.
A couple of people stepped up and sold many stacks as needed, then got them from the chip runners. This made what would've been a headache a total breeze... well, okay, that's not true, but at least not a headache. It also went a long way towards happy cooperative feelings at the table in general, which leads to more action... I do ask people to do it, too, but sometimes as a dealer it can be awkward to encourage a cash transaction between strangers.
Okay, hijack over, carry on.
