Or more likely it was just the first big number the writers thought up.

No. 100 Big Bets makes you look like a pimp. I'm envious of the picture Barry has at Foxwoods with his Pyramid of Power and I will one day best it by sitting down with him at the 20 game and making his eyes bleed as I begin a'stackin' 40 racks o' white.

Nothing says "macho" more then saying "raise" and shoving in a whole rack -- and then giving the dealer a dirty look when he takes too long to give you your $20 change.

See? I knew this thread has potential. Nice post.

Re: Did Johnny Chan 4-bet and fold to a 5-bet?
 

This reminds me of a hand I played vs. Tommy Angelo once. Why was I played T.A.? I dunno, we were in his hotel room and they asked me to bring up $1,400 in $1 chips. Anyway, I had 4-high on the river. The board was J-5-3-T-K no flush possible. It was head-up and I was first to act. I turned over my hand. 4-2. Tommy looked at my hand, looked at the board, looked at me, looked back at my hand and said:

"What do you do?"

What's mostly confusing to me is did that action take place preflop?

Yes, this is my question and why I'm confused. On, say, the river, I might understand but preflop it just seems retarded.

You can see some cards on the board if you look closely.

This has been established but this is no longer the point of the thread. Thanks, though.

Johnny Chan actually 'acted' in the scene and was an advisor on the show. Why the [censored] would he make a ridiculous scene?

To make it more entertaining.

White chips, WHITE CHIPS!!!

You will be forever banned from the FW's 20 game if you show up with ANY white chips.

And MaxPower can attest that I only bought in for 2 racks that day.

C'mon, Barry, when I sit at the 20 I always have a handful of whites for tips - but just because it will offend you, I'll limit it to the few even though I was planning on doing the Raise Via A Rack trick (assuming I'm there when you are AND I'm not drinking - a highly unlikely combo).

Alas... I'll just have to best your chip pyramid the old fashioned way (and try not to get banned when I get evidence of it myself as some floor person is bound to go - no cell phones in the poker room, please go to the stairs, blah blah blah).
