I didn't intend to hijack this thread. Just wanted to point out that at least at stars, there is a certain number of people who can't be losing money playing poker. I don't know the reasons behind why so many people want to buy fake chips. I have my suspicions. Firstly, there are games like "40k or fold" where people bet insane amounts of play money and there is a real community feel around this group. People are addicted to this. Secondly, I believe that many, probably middle aged married guys, have wives who don't want them gambling with real money. So they can justify buying a couple million chips for say 30 bucks, with no chance of a further loss in real money and still get that feeling of gambling it up.
