Re: Faux Chip Card Protectors = Angleshooting
If it looked like a stack of their chips, it's probably because it was being sold in the shop of the room/casino you were at. Thus their unwillingness to ban it.
That said, this seems pretty weak on their part.

IDK about casinos and poker rooms, but even the ones at the gas stations look too real. Cool idea, but if he is putting it with his chips to make his stack look bigger, then that is angle-shooting. On top of the cards, and then back to the rail (of the table) when he's done with the hand would be appropriate.

Re: Faux Chip Card Protectors = Angleshooting
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.

Re: Faux Chip Card Protectors = Angleshooting
I have seen (several times) someone buy into a $500 buyin game with 5 blacks (or one purple lol). They tend to hoard the blacks and only change them down as needed. So I could easily imagine (having seen it) someone playing a stack like that.
As for what to do with it - if one player is confused by it, his problem. If half the table is confused, it should be fixed because it clearly is a problem. And I've seen these lighters before, they are extremely realistic looking.
