Re: Is this an angle or am I a nit?
I'll jump in with my "me too" and agree that NIT has nothing to do with tight or loose, passive or aggressive.
As for "is this an angle"... Players are allowed to top their stacks between hands. Doing so is not an angle. Doing so with the intent of hiding the new chips, however, is an angle. And this is why many poker rooms limit the size of chips they allow to play in various games. MGM and IP and probably others in Vegas simply do not allow black or green chips into the NL1/2 game. They don't play. That keeps you from hiding a black chip on the bottom of or behind a wall of reds and whites.
I can't tell from the original tale if the guy was trying to hide big chips or not. Topping up your stack: Not an angle. Hiding big chips: Definitely an angle.
