The more you play the more u will see these kinda of card protectors. I agree that the player should be warned not to put it on his stack, but i have seen people with the little buddhas put it on their stack if its not in use. Once u get used to them u will spot them a mile away. Not to mention in a 1/2 NL game how often do you see a player with 5 black chips when he only has 40 in other denominations? If i sat down at the table and saw a guy with 40 in red and 500 in black my first thought would be to double check and see if they were actually real chips.
