Wanted Players Keep Stealing My Chips (1 Viewer)

[doublebooyah85]

Thanks to PCF and the general passion of poker I have been running 4-5 table tournaments for the past 2 years at local golf courses. I enjoy hosting but in addition we end up raising money for local charities @ each event. Even better…I get to put my Waikem Way tournament set into play Booyah Booyah

So far I’ve lost/players have taken 3 chips.

Anymore ESST sample sets out there? Lmk I could use them! Thanks!

P.S. If you live in Ohio Michigan or PA and want to be included on the text alert when I’m running a Hold’em tourney LMK. Usually $200-$300 buy in and 4-5 tables w dealers. We donate $20 per person to a local charity, usually an organization that benefits a player from the field. Previously it’s been a Food Bank, Clothes Closet, Travel Baseball Teams etc..anything local…no tax write off bullshit, no expenses/rake buried into this operation, just people playing poker having a great time! BUT STOP TAKING MY CHIPS LOL

You're a better man than I am. I can't imagine taking Paulson chips to a large poker game with many people playing who are strangers to me. I would have a set of Tina's made if I were going to do something like that.

We take our poker serious in Ohio! And it helps when buy-ins are around $200…everyone knows what they’re doing.

That's a very nice way of saying

I had thief who stolen 3 chips from me.

That's always my biggest concern when bringing the nice chips out.

Hmm. High denom? How did bank balance with it missing? Not good.

Tourney chip. So no banking involved.

The Mirage, MGM, and Paris will be posting these same wanted ads here soon.

Seriously bro, that sucks. Have you made an announcement prior to the start of the event asking people to not take the chips as souvenirs?

No that’s a good suggestion but also gives someone the idea…

But if you say all chips must be accounted for before pay outs (even if you don't mean it) that should help.

Would that only stop the people who win? I think this would be an interesting thread. Let’s start one!

 

[JWC]

I will look to see what I have…

Losers who go broke don't have chips. Losers with chips want to cash every single one in.

 

[BamaT8ter]

Have you considered taking hostages and summary executions if chips go missing?

That would be unprecedented. Maybe I misplaced
a chip during color up etc. Casinos don’t practice that so not sure I could hold attendees to that. And it would only effect the last two players.

Maybe 10 or so tourneys so far with these chips so I’m not overly concerned w 1 chip every 5 events being lost.

But a few sample sets would make me feel a bit more comfortable!

 

[doublebooyah85]

More Pr0n!

Any ESST sample sets out there?

P.S. If you live in Ohio Michigan or PA

F’ing wow …. MI and PA? Really? Any other state(s)? Just those eh?

You could explain that the chips will be replaced out of the winning pool of prize funds

 

[Labrat]

We never liked Indiana.

[BigSlick4523]

Michigan sucks I live here the snow is coming I am sad lol

 

[SwissChip]

Lucky players with a set like this - wow!

Hope you get back the missing ones!

I had the same issue while a cash game i bring the chips.
The host was the bank and cashed out last.
The 3 missing chips ($5) were hidden in his bag when he stored them away for lunch.
He found them days later ; )

 

[Taghkanic]

Do the tables belong to you? It’s possible that chips could have gotten stuck under the rails. Worth a look anyway.

Yeah us Kentucky boys are not allowed to play either I guess.

Do you do cash after or as tables bust?

I think that's a bad idea. Don't put ideas in their head.

My wife and I love Michigan... In the summer and close to the lake. If I ever hit the lotto, I will definitely have a summer home on Lake Michigan.
