Default Re: Warning to B&M newbies on the meaning of \"table stakes\"!

Yes. Once you give money to a chip runner, it is generally considered part of your stack even though you don't have chips for it yet. The chip runner will usually say "$100 behind" to signify that you have $100 extra in your stack than you have chips.

If you are new and are wondering whether you are "playing behind" or not, just ask. I'm glad your "learning the hard way" didn't turn out too badly. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
