How do you put your chips in the middle? (1 Viewer)

[QuackShack]

I'm curious how everyone puts their chips in the middle. Do you gently place them down in a stack? Do you project the chips forward so they slide out in a row? Do you let them deadfall drop from arm's length high? Also, are you more careless with how you put them in based upon the rarity/cost of the chips you're playing with? Do you require your players to do it a certain way if they're being too carless with them?

Using an acrylic All-in token from a group buy from a few years back. Solves the need for pushing a lot of chips back and forth, plus it's another thing to have

Both of these. Stacks of 20 chips stay intact, but stacks less than 20 get splashed out so they are easier to count.

A few at a time…then maybe some more…then I pull them back if I see someone get excited when I’m weak….I’ll put more in if I have the nuts and it looks like someone is going to call.

It depends a bit on the situation. If I intend to raise then I first declare that I "see" the amount that has been bet, and then promptly throw the calling chips in the pot. Then I pause for dramatic effect. Just as the player to my left starts to act, I will drown them out with "...AAAAND, I'll raise ya another two hundred" and again throw my chips in the middle. Just pushing the chips infront of me wastes time since the dealer then needs to push them into the pot, and the last thing I want to do is waste everyone's time.

Until the betting round is over. I ask everyone to place their bets in front of them. Once the betting round is over, then most of us lightly toss them into the pot.

Neat stacks, but I always want to do a nice slide. Just need to work on my technique

 

[w0ng]

Neat stacks unless <5 chips, in which case slide forward

My manservant Jeeves dons his silks gloves and pushes any amount I decree exactly 4 inches over the bet line. He then retires exactly one pace behind my chair to await further instruction.

If they’re already out in front of me and the action is over, I’ll toss them in the middle. Assuming I’m hosting, I don’t worry about the value of the clays - they exist to be tossed around, as far as I’m concerned. But if I’m playing with somebody else’s fancy chips, I’ll treat them more gently.

But if we’re talking about an all-in situation, I’ll just slide the stacks in neatly - no reason to knock them down.

Does he also verbalize the bet by ringing a hand bell and loudly announcing "The Master bets (###)."

I prefer to use a 1/24 scale bucket loader and I make all the engine and hydraulic noises too.

Very gauche.

That's so old-school. All the kool kids use Siri or Alexis these days to verbally announce raises, no physical acts needed.

 

[BGinGA]

In the future:

"ChatBot AI, please announce my raise amount."

And yes, it would be binding, although probably illegal in most circles.

And then recoil in horror when the chatbot announces "Fold" when you're holding the nut flush.

If I go all in I *Always* push my chips in if I’m bluffing and just put 1 chip in if I’m not.

announce all in and put highest denomination barrel over the line

 

[sonofjacob]

If I am the first to bet or raising, I always slide out the chips so they fall in a row, if I am calling then I slide the stack out.
