Re: Protecting Your Chips
It sounds like this is a real risk, albeit a low one, that we just have to accept. When playing mid/high limit poker even a small number of chips is a decent amount of money, but it doesn't sound like I can reasonably expect the casinos to protect me. At the same time, though, its not realistic to color up 3 racks every time I have to go to the bathroom. Fortunately I am usually playing with at least one person who I know well enough that they (hopefully) wouldn't let some random person play or take all my chips.
Of course there is little defense from a smash and grab for a handful of chips (even when I'm in my seat), but I'd like to think security would generally make a decent effort to stop this kind of theft.
