I've never been in a game where everything on the table wasn't in play, whether it was "hidden" or not.

In other words you have never played live NL in a room that actually has $5k chips.

Is this an attempt at a flame?
I play the Bellagio 10/20 and occasionally 25/50. "Hidden" is a very relative term in this game, especially with the similarity between $20 and $1,000 chips and $500/$5000 chips. If you don't know to ask "do you have any big chips?" you shouldn't be in the game.

It was just an observation. If you play at Bellagio you have in fact played in a room where hidden chips don't play. That is just how poker is played. There are some places in the east or midwest that might consider hiding your chips a viable tactic, but generally places with an expereinced floor staff understand this. In places where poker is their primary business the high denomination chips are larger to prevent any sort of misunderstanding.
