The rules have been changed to protect the fishy.

I am not strong at math but I can work this one.

Less than an hour round trip to Caesar's lose a litle maybe break even rarely win more than $100.

Three hour round trip to Rising Sun up $380 for less than five hours of play. Spent more time in the car than at the table.

yeah, ran into this rule when I was there Thurs. nite. One guy left to buy chips and was gone so long thought he went to argosy. An older woman busted and tried to buy in , heard rule, and left. sucks. oh yeah, not only is it $50 rebuy only, you can only do it once a 24 hour period. ha ha, now that is ridiculous.

You forgot one thing, though.


CAESARS RULES!!!

****end of shameless promotion****

Always buy in for 100BB. When a fish busts out and wants to buy more chips, sell him some of yours. Every once in a while go back to the cage and replenish your stack.

[SenecaJim]

I don't think you can transfer (sell or otherwise ) to friend or foe at the table. Your money has to stay in your stack until you leave.

A respected and experienced dealer once told me to ALWAYS sell the fish their chips IMMEDIATELY, that way they don't get a chance to change their mind. Good advice, as you are finding out now.

Why doesn't this cardroom have a chiprunner? We don't always sell them out of the rack, but the times we can't, we call for "player's checks" and someone comes a runnin' to sell them the chips. Works like a charm. When it's really slow the floorman can do it, or dealers who are on break but in the room.

Cash doesn't count? Just leave the bills on the table behind your stack.

Indiana Gaming Laws: Players cannot sell chips to each other, and cash cannot be on the table, nor can cash be used to gamble with -- you have to use chips.

And a chip runner would be against Grand Victoria Customer Non-Service Policy.

A second solution to avoid the long lines at the cage would be for the poker desk to keep a supply of chips there, like Ceasars does, so of course they won't do that either.

Not that I think this is the reason for the change (or that I don't think it's a stupid move), but the side benefit is that it cuts down wait times -- when people leave the game, the lists move faster.

[SenecaJim]

yes, they will never provide a chiprunner but chips at desk seems like an easy and quick compromise. I think you should be running the casino. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
