Default recieved extra chips... what do you do?

alright, so last night i ended up at a fairly lousy poker club (high rake, semi-clueless dealers, no 'floor'). i really had no interest in going, but my friends needed a ride so they eventually talked me into it. after standing around watching them play and eating the free pizza for a bit, i decided i felt like playing. i had $43 in my wallet, and they were spreading $1-2 NL, $500 max buy-in. Standard buy-in seemed to be around $200 though. I thought about running to an ATM, but i wasn't sure how long my friends would be playing for.

anyhow, i go up and buy $43 in chips, figuring A) its not a whole lot of money and B) it'll alleviate my boredom. I clearly say $43, and the lady clearly tells the guy $43. he hands me my rack of chips, and i quickly eyeball it and it definitely looks like at least $43. i go back to watching the Cavs vs Pistons game on TV, and then head over to a table and start playing. there is when i actually count my chips and notice they actually gave me $93.

what should i do in this situation?

If 'fairly lousy poker club' translates as underground club - I'm running to give them these chips back.

it does, and i did. but my friends gave me a bunch of [censored] for it, saying it was there fault and since i'd had the chips for so long (yet i hadn't actually played a hand with them) i should keep them.

morally, i'd have had no problem keeping them, but i figured it was in my best interest to return them.

How does $93 in chips look like $43 in chips? I'm assuming she only gave you $5 and $1 chips.

i didn't really look at the chips. i glanced at them, figured there was at least $43, and went back to watching the game. it was a pretty close and intense game.

Consider it a rake free night.

No seriously, if it is just a local card room, or a dry cleaner or restaurant or other business, I'd give the $50 back. If it were a casino, I'd take it and never think twice about it.

This happened once to a guy next to me, two(?) state gaming officials came over and asked for the extra money back.

What I'm trying to say is if this ever happens quickly stop by the craps table.
