Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

While riding a bike (A bike, implying it's not mine - not saying I stole it), I wondered what chipvalues are used in The $500,000 challenges between Darth Negreanu and <RANDOM PRO>. Since they start off with $500.000 each, the blinds being $4.000/$8.000, do they just have 500 x $1000 value chips? I mean... ? Since there is to mu knowledge no $4.000 chip.

Probably a stupid question, but hey...

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

I'd assume they use 5K and 1K chips.

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

Ghazban beat me to it. I'd be almost certain that they use $1K and $5K chips.

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

Ok seems resonable. I care about such stupid details =)

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

They use $1K and $5K chips for the betting that I saw, but each of them had a stack of the large $25k chips as well.

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

Well I agree on the "stupid" part anyway.

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

I think the $1 chips are for tipping. Hope that helps. although I played a tournament at the O'rleans once with Daniel and he tipped the cocktail watresses with $100's so i'm not sure.

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

For the $500k matches they usually use yellows(1k), whites(5k), and browns(25k).
I've seen them use only yellows for some of the smaller matches though($200k)

Daniel keeps another rack on the side with red, green, and blacks for tipping during the match.

Would you expect any less, he's playing heads up for $500,000.

Actually I would expect a lot less, because thats just a pretty outrageous sum to tip, IMO

Although, it is in the poker room where he is the ambassador, so I would expect him to be quite generous to them, in addition to him being a seemingly nice guy and generous person.

no sh*t. sammy farha sure as hell wouldn't tip blacks, no matter how much he was playing for.

anyone else hear about that huge pot farha won at bellagio - around $30k according to stories - and he tipped the dealer... a $50 i think? it wasn't much.
anyway, he beat AA with 73 suited.

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

So he won a big pot, why does that mean he should tip some rediculous amount. I think any dealer should be happy with a $50 tip considering its the same job whether he/she is dealing a huge game or a small game.

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

You said he cracked AA with 73, what does the dealer have to do with it? The dealer just turns the cards over, thats it. If people should tip a dealer more because they put a bad beat on someone, then on the flip side dealer abuse should be perfectly acceptable.

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

negreanu usually tips a dealer 25 dollars everytime the dealer is finished with his 30 minute shift, and cocktail waitresses around 5 dollars a drink. never saw the blacks for a tip.

i heard negreanu is also bankrolled 5m for these tournaments from the wynn. anyone know if that's correct?

jesus christ dude, take a frickin midol. i wasn't taking a stance either way. i was just repeating a story i heard at bellagio, to prove the point that sammy farha is relatively cheaper than daniel N

it seems fairly obvious you have a history of problems with dealers...

oh and by the way, you don't have to reply to the same post twice, you can go back and edit. for future reference.

at least now i know where you got your handle

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

there is a video from cardplayer.com when they interview Daniel at the Wynn. he is unloading his chip trays. there are white 5k's and yellow 1k's. this was in the WSOP coverage videos so u can go find them there if you want to see it.

I've noticed that Barry doesnt' have that rack(of tipping chips). I mean, I odn't really know him but from what I do know I would think he would at least be a normal tipper. What does he do?

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

I didn't mean to come off like I was berating you. I just get annoyed with all the retards that I happen to play with who say to me that I don't tip enough. I actually used to deal a couple of home games when I was in school.

it is 100% incorrect as Daniel has said (even on here) many many times.

it's all good man, i was just repeating that farha story i heard many times from various dealers at bellagio last time i was there

i think it's a pretty funny story actually, in my mind that's totally farha-like

there were at least 50 people crowded on the rail when he was playing that no-name guy in PLHE. the crowd was 5 feet from daniel and he sat there and ate a 5 course meal like he was home in front of the TV. he had lower denom chips on his right that were for tokes only.

i really wanted to ask for a bite of some spring rolls he had. btw, i could never eat a meal like that with a huge crowd hanging over me. however, the dude he was playing was popping up every other hand to drag off the eternal cig he had lit in an ashtray on the brush's stand behind him. funny how quickly the non-smoking rule is tossed when someone brings $500k for a game.

[/ QUOTE ]

uhhhh, what? a 30k pot (less than 4 big bets in Daniel's big matches) was a $50 tip.

Daniel tips reds ($5), greens ($25) and blacks ($100) for his pots (or maybe once per down, we really don't know).

This certainly implies that the standard tip isn't $100...it's less. a $30,000 pot would be a small pot in that game (small to medium), so I think it's safe to assume that Danny would tip reds/greens there. Probably something in the neighborhood of $50 OR LESS.

What point were you proving again?

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

i was watching them at Wynn--Barry greenstein and Negreanu that is....they used 5k chips and 1k chips...i think they had a few 500 chips in there too.

Excuse me, but $5,000 chips are also "large" .

Whenever I've watched Daniel has been tipping a green chip at the end of each down.

of course he is gonna deny it. everything doesnt add up correctly in my opinion. Wynn is advertising in card player magazine for crying outloud about the Negreanu matches. my instincts are telling me something is up.

Thank you; this is the first 2+2 post that I've read that's actually made me laugh out loud.

Re: Negreanu challenges\' chip values?
 

I think douchenozzle may be my new favorite word.

And while you certainly are confrontational, I don't hold it against you for being completely wrong.
