Rearrangement




In my recent post on the proper method of stacking chips, I mentioned the Three-Deep Chip Stack Rearrangement--that lovely point in good sessions at which one has accumulated enough chips that there is no longer sufficient room to keep them in the standard double rows, and they must be adjusted to triple rows.

Well, it was a good night for poker last night at the MGM Grand, and I reached that magic moment for the first time since composing the previous post. So this is just an addendum to document what it looks like when it happens.

I just saw this post for the first time. Do you use $50 stacks for your chips? Why?

I ask because that is usually one of the table cues that I use to spot a noob. I may have to re-think the reliability of this observation.

See the previous post, linked to in the first sentence above.

Interesting. I have to admit that, while I do have a preferred chip-stacking method, it is nowhere near as advanced as yours. Some of the differences are structural. E.g., my home casino doesn't have commemorative chips. However, some are stylistic. I actually use 30 stacks for my chips (as long as I have at least 3 30-stacks) and I favor a triangular structure. I may have to start taking pics to get feedback. :)
