So I mentioned in my intro post that I’ve played poker in 123 casinos and counting, with a chip taken from each. I figured I’d pass along a story...
My wife’s family is from Chicago, so every trip out there, I always tried to hit some casinos. One year not too long ago I headed up to Milwaukee and found myself in my first ever casino that still used a frac in live play (50c).
Here’s the thing though. Up until this point I had always taken a $1 chip from ever room I’d played and so I took a $1 from this place too.
Months later, I still couldn’t get that 50c chip out of my mind though! But my ‘rule’ was a $1 chip! After months of fighting in my head I came to the only logical conclusion:
Change my ‘rule’ to be: take the lowest domination chip in play at the time of my visit. Reasoning: at some point before I die (hopefully), $1 chips will be a thing of the past too so I’m really just making a future-proofed change to the rule!
A year later, was back in Chicago visiting the in-laws...and took the 3hr round trip back up to Milwaukee just to collect my one and only 50c chip from live play!
So now the real fun...who is just as OCD vs. who thinks I’m a complete lunatic??
