Don't be a lazy leader of your Chip Army, train those Chipsters how to be winners. A responsible General of Chips will teach them how to band together as a team for optimal effectiveness on the battlefield. Their first lesson begins with the stacking maneuver, a color coordination of all Chipsters by rank and color. All Chipsters from the Mid West have alternate bar colors and those colors are all stacked neatly in color coordination. There are many color stacking methods, he is the short list. Solid colors together, the alternate color stacking called, the zebra stack, the spiral stack, the alternate denomination stack, to name just a few. Most Hold'em Generals find these maneuvers to be too tedious. They foolishly stack their Chipsters in random uneven order. This random uneven stacking demonstrates a willful lack of leadership. Obviously this lack of discipline filters down through the ranks, and will unfortunately cause disaster on the front lines. The stacking maneuver is the first step in teaching the Chipsters their primary mission. Go aggressively into the pot, fight together as a team and bring back prisoners.
When the stacking maneuver is learned, the Chipsers will then be ready to learn how to enter the pot and how to return. Commanders must of course demonstrate this maneuver to the Chipsters, before they are sent into battle. This training method is not difficult, unless the Hold'em General has trouble with his small motor skills. One Chipster is selected at random, he is then held between the Generals thumb and pointer finger. The Generals hand is raised approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch up from the playing field, higher if the playing field is hard. Then with a snappy downward movement the Chipster is released an rushes forward toward the center of the battlefield. Then reverse English will magically return the Chipster to the Generals hand. As the random Chipster travels forward a verbal command is given to the properly stacked Chipsters, "you rush the battlefield," when the training Chipster's returns the Commander tells the trainees, "then you come back and bring prisoners." WITHOUT this training the Chipsters will not know how to return with prisoners. When the chip prisoners arrive and they will. The General must then begin the training all over again for the new recruits.
Successful chip armies usually have a great deal of time for training. All orders delivered by the Supply Officer, Captain Dealer, must be evaluated by the General. Most of the orders and supplies must be rejected because most Supply Officers have poor selection skills. They never take the time to stack their supplies properly and cluelessly send any two cards on a regular bases. This non combat time is when training should be carried out.
Advance Chipsteer training can be accomplished during the many hours of relentless releasing of supplies. Teach your chip army to jump high and return to camp. Stack ten random Chipsters, then select your most talented Chipster. Hold the Chipster as indicated above and with a little more force on the down stroke have the Chipster jump on top of the stack, it will with reverse English spin on top of the stack and return into the Commanders hand. All of these maneuvers and more will scare the bajesus out of the enemy, giving your chip army a psychological advantage. The enemy will see your stacks, stacked in military fashion, and with the English maneuvers they will fear you. There are more maneuvers, however, the z man refuses to let me rabble on...
