Re: Yet another \"first time live\" report: The Taj in AC
[ QUOTE ]
The guy gave me two racks of 1$ chips, so 200 chips, I sat down and everybody looked at me, I then noticed that nobody had much more than a hundred in front of them and nobody had more than 20-30 1$ chips, so I guess I really looked like a newbie right away.

I was there two weekends ago and sat down with $180 in white and the dealer gave me grief about it. Other players at the table chimed in on my behalf though, asking why she cared how much I had. They probably thought I was going to be nice and fishy. I usually buy in for around 30 BB, and that's the first time I ever got grief for it -- though I've only played live a half dozen times, so maybe over time I'll get ragged on more for it. I just don't want to have to be bothered with rebuying if I start out on a downswing.
Maybe next time I'll get one stack of red and 4 white to cut down on the number of chips, even though their sign at the cashier specifies "buy only white chips for 3-6".
