AC and red chips in small limit games? and AC bus questions

[mikewpu04]

I prefer white chips over the red birds playing 2/4 limit. Something psychological about playing with 50 white chips versus 10 red chips, especially if you are short stacked. I dont know why, but its something that plays with my head when I keep breaking red birds, esp. if the session isn't going well.

I usually ask for as many whites as the dealer/cashier can spare in AC, but often there is a short amount of white, so I end up with reds anyway.
