Re: The ol\' hidden high denomination chip trick
[ QUOTE ]
Now I'm curious. If I'm at the 1-2, I have my stacks of reds [$5] in 20's, then any loose extra reds in my "betting stack" to one side along with my whites, and any greens and blacks in a separate stack, usually on top of my red 20 stacks. But I have the blacks below the greens. Is this hiding since they're at the bottom of one stack, but on top of others? [pyramid style]. It's never been a problem that I know of, and I always announce the amount when I bet all-in so people know what I have. I just want to make sure I haven't been hiding chips without realizing it.

It's called "barber poling" (striped stacks). Some places have explicit rules against it. If the dealer never says anything, I would assume you are OK. It certainly doesn't seem like you're trying to hide them to me.
