If somebody says this, and you automatically think that makes them the fish, then you're probably the real fish at the table.

You sit down to play with an amount of small-denomination chips that fits in one hand.

You ask me if I'm on 2+2 and if I've read your thread in B&M about knowing when someone's a fish...

What if you're just naturally clumsy and tend to knock over your chips when they're higher than stacks of ten?

I fold my Q9o pre-flop, tricky wind currents (

) cause the cards to flip over, and you say, "Hey, I want those cards!"

... you cut out red chips 2 chips at a time.

... you act like you're unsure it's your turn, ask "is it on me?" and then bet.

... someone shows a winner and you say "that's what I put you on".

I'm glad people think this as I tend to keep stacks of 10...Just easier to grab and less intimidating to other players I think when you put a full stack out.
