-Poker chips are the most disgusting things on the face of the Earth. I'd ballpark about 20% of people I see leaving the bathroom actually washing their hands. What's the first thing they touch when they get back? Right. The chips that are about to go to your stack and in your hands. To make matters worse, I habitually play with my chips, shuffling and restacking them pretty much non-stop. I can't stop myself. It's like I'm riffling a handful of anuses. So disgusting. I'm seriously considering wearing latex gloves at the table.

- I'm convinced that I have a ridiculous amount of physical tells. Next time I play seriously, I'm going to have to wear a hoodie and sunglasses and look like a total [censored]. Ugh.

don't look at your cards until the action gets to you, then look and make your play

-Table games are bad. Really bad.

I don't understand, bad easy, or bad hard?

-There are no local girls in Vegas who don't deal, play, or strip*.

Sounds like the girls are dirty too [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If you want to have fun with filthy chips, pick the nastiest ones out and stack them separately. Press down on the top chip really hard and then see how many you can pick up while touching only the top chip. Anything 5 or higher is worthy of calling over the floor.

But can you get 5 of them to stick together?

I get a little nauseous every time I make a -EV bet. You could simulate this by making your lucky table-game habit kissing your chips before you bet them. Soon, you'll associate table games with kissing anuses.

Quit ur bitchin.

Actually, the thing that disgusts me the most is dudes who eat at the table. WTF is up with that?

[/ QUOTE ]
I always eat at the table. I think I've just got a good immune system.

[Strickly Bidness]

i asssume you dont touch chips with the same hand u r eating with. i hate it when people do that. its just wrong.

At the casino here, they always have free food during tourneys. Problem is, it's always "finger foods" like mini-tacos, veggies and hot wings. People are constantly going hand-to-mouth, then licking their fingers clean...

At least use a damn towelette or something folks. Disgusting.

[citanul]

i eat food that requires a fork at the table. notably the chicken ceasar salad at the venetian is good. also, keeps your hands clean. if you must eat something like a plate of fries, use one hand, obv.

lol @ "do you mean bad easy or bad hard" - they are table game (ie, craps, roulette, etc), they are all rigged against you, they are "bad" because they are addicting and -ev.

bones, hopefully i'll get out to vegas sometime soon and you can show me everything you've learned.

i've several times considered bringing some of those lysol wipes or whatever to scrub down my chips with at the table, and passing them out. i don't know what getting branded as "that crazy hypocondriac" would do for my image though.

I misread, I thought he was talking about live poker tables... yep, I like craps. I usually like to end might night with it... say I am willing to lose $200 or win what ever...
