I was hoping for the super system I response; on how sometimes a quick glance at a 20 can sometimes look like a 50, therefore getting paid with them sucks.

$50 bills were the first bills to be counterfeited on a wide scale. Since counterfeiting is a problem in gambling circles, many gamblers have stopped accepting 50's and the tradition has been passed down.

I recall a HSP episode where Jennifer Harmon mentions how she "hates fifties." Undoubtly her avoidance of any and all fifties has been the major contributing factor to her success as the only female player to win at the highest level.

I thought the $2 bill was supposed to be bad luck for gamblers, but I guess it's rarity and low value makes it kind of indifferent to ya'll high rollers
