  1. I have not purchased a coin in over a year – how about some poker chips !!

     

    I buy and sell them all the time (at face value).

     

     

    You appear to be hiding the green chips. Those must be the $10.00 chips?

     

     

    Green Chips are $25 .

     

    That is correct. Certain colors of chips are consistent in every casino: Black $100, Green $25, Red $5. The other colors change from casino to casino. At Borgata, the $10 chip is blue and is only used in the $40-$80 Limit Holdem & mixed games and $10-$20 NLH games in the poker room. The $20 chip is yellow and is used in $60-$120 & $80-$160 Limit Holdem & Mixed games. The yellow chip is also used in the Asian pits because many of the games have a 5% commission which creates the house edge. Using $20 chips alleviates the need for the dealers to have quarters.

    Not a coin or new acquisition per se, but I have never shared it before. The yellow chip shown above was a commemorative chip from the inaugural Borgata Poker Open which used to be a $10K buy-in event in September but has dropped to $3500 buy-in over the last few years.

     

    How often do you play ?? Do you ever come up to Foxwoods ?

    I had a bad week - $2000 lost in Mega Stack tourney buy in's and cash games . Not that I played bad, I just got very unlucky with some major bad beats .
