Thoughts on Pro\'s Chip Stacks
Sorry if this has been posted before or if its in the wrong forum.
One thing I noticed about the pro's in the WSOP main event and in other events I saw on TV is that the Professionals like to create chip stacks using alot of the lower denominations.
I think they like to have the presence that they have ALOT of chips, but really they don't have big stacks, just alot of physical chips.
I played with John juanda on day one and he would accumulate all of the lower denomination chips to make his stack look bigger, I also notice Howard lederer who was playing at the featured table and almost all of his chips were $100 even though those were practically only being used for antes at that point of the tourny.
Howard also stacks his chips in a way that is impossible for anyone to take a glance at them and see how much he has, it just looks like he has alot of chips. Seems like a good idea from a psychological standpoint.
Just wondering what you guys thought.
