Reloading in NL

[jeffnc]

This is a question about live vs. online. Online I always keep "topped off" at the table max. Live this isn't so easy. Is there any non-obnoxious way to do this? Only hundred dollar bills play in cash (wherever I've played), so you can't keep throwing $5 bills on the table. You could keep some chips under your chair in a rack I guess, and keep pulling them out. Not sure how the dealer would think about this. Not sure how everyone at the table would appreciate constantly telling the dealer you want more chips, either.

i mean don't do it if you are 5 under the max... if its a 500 max and you get to 400 just reload... its not that hard

keep chips in your pocket but don't reload as often as you would online. i'd guess that 5% of a buyin wouldn't be too often/obnoxious. i'd try to be discrete because it's going to look fairly nitty and alert people that you're grinding and not gambling.

I buy an extra stack of red when I play the 200NL game at my local casino and stick it in a pocket or somewhere out of sight. When the action is elsewhere, I'll discreetly grab the number of chips I need to reload and start playing with them like I do when I have a full stack. Unless someone is watching me constantly, I doubt they even notice that I reload from say, $190 to 200.

It may look nitty if someone notices, but if you don't play nitty, I don't think people will give it a second thought. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks, IMO.

haha what a nit... start playing better, move up, play uncapped games, buy in for a crapload, problem solved.

LOL, this is too much. If its capped lets try to reload around 75-80% of buyin.

It doesn't just look nitty, it is nitty

Grabbing a few chips from your pocket while you're just sitting around doing nothing anyway requires no effort and maximizes the amount you can win against bad players. If this is nitty, then checking the "automatically reload" box online is also nitty, which makes most of us huge nits.

This is what I do all the time. I normally just add an extra hundred dollar bill/chip or two everytime I go low on chips.

Does the Bellagio still have the rule where the NL games have 'a' buyin? When I was there two years ago, the 2-5 was 200 min 200 max.
