Can't you guys find something better to whine about? Why don't you start lobbying for a $4 dollar chip.

How much time do you waste watching someone count out 24 chips when he reraises?

Yeah, but not for long. I think you need four times the stake to play in $4-$8 as you do in $2-$4 because those guys actually raise on most hands.

Because 1/2 chip structures make tight games. There've been several threads recently about how chip structures influence games, with discussion by some well respected posters. Maybe you should read them before shooting your mouth off.

I like lots and lots of chips. Big mounds for pots, huge pyramids for stacks. It definitely loosens the game up, 1 chip 2 chip games are notoriously tight.
