Gross. How can they not clean those, especially in the times of COVID

Right. I’m not entirely sure I want to know the genetic make up whatever it is that’s growing on that chip

Cool man!
I’m not a veteran harvester, so I’ve got a bunch of questions I’m gonna bombard this thread with lol
Was the strategy simply just walking up and asking the cage?
ive gotta get my strat down before because time will be of the essence. Going with gf and her friend and possibly meeting up with @FordPickup92 @Ben8257 at some point

Def man, shoot us a PM or if you want I can send you Ben or I's number so we can do lunch, maybe do some chipe harvesting!

 

[BamaT8ter]

I may have said this before, but if anyone does any harvesting, I’d appreciate it if you’d grab 3 $2s for me. I apparently can’t count.

Will do my man!
Think I’ll have any trouble asking the cage for 203 $2 chips?

 

[BamaT8ter]

Ha! I did most of my harvesting playing in the 4/8 LHE and 6/12 mixed game, but no one asked me any questions when I bought racks of 2s. Lots of bike tires, so you’ll have to filter them.

Jesus are they rolling in mud before they play cards in Maryland. People, please wash your hands once in a while.

Ok. The long promised pr0n. I have cleaned these in a USI, but I have not oiled them. They fit pretty tight in a Paulson rack. The colors pop, but they do have plenty of flea bites. If you were really patient, you could probably build a mint-ish rack. These will work fine for me with my used HSI set.

Those look good man! Are these gonna be a relabel?

Plan is to relabel them as HSI .25s and relabel HSI snappers as $2 chips for limit games. I’ve played around with the idea of going the other way (snappers as fracs and the Live 2s as HSI 2s). I’ll definitely overlabel the Live 2s. I may murder the snappers.

Niccce! Can’t wait to see these together in your line up!

My harvest plan is to purchase a full rack from the cage (if they’ll allow it) then sort at home. Cash in the duds and repeat until I’ve got two racks. Really hoping half a rack each time are keepers. Plan only works because we have business in the area.

When I was there, I was harvesting about 20%, but YMMV.

 

[JustinInMN]

Good luck. They don’t sell them at the cage, and they are only used in the 1/3 game. You can sometimes buy them from the cart, but they are a PITA. The 6/12 game only uses $1

Forgive me, I have to ask, what fresh hell is this? How are $2 chips remotely useful in a 1-3 NL game?

They used to use them in all of the limit games, but I think the regs wanted $1’s, and they obliged.

Wow, they really want to play 6/12 with singles? Yikes.

 

[DarkHelmet55]

In 1/3 they are mostly used for the drop for the promos rather and two singles. Also used for rake but thats mostly a red bird.

That makes sense as a collection chip. But players don't have them in stacks at 1-3, do they?

The only time I saw players with them at 1/3 was when they’d brought some over after a table change from a limit game.

 

[DarkHelmet55]

Yes the are in stacks at 1/3 also. Very common in that game. When chip runners do a fill its all of singles and the $2s with some quarters.

How were these games? I'd love to go up and play some limit.
