is it really a big enough problem to bitch about? stealing tournament chips then adding them to your stack isn't very easy to get away with. TDA rules say any chips put into / pulled out of pockets are taken out of circulation and possibly disqualifies the player. someone is bound to notice a player pulling old 1k chips out of his pocket. on top of that, they're probably not using THAT many. i don't think you're giving them enough credit here game protection wise..

Without giving details,
It would be fairly easy for anyone who had these chips to get them into play.

Chainsaw do you regularly play at this casino? I've only been there a few times but this doesn't surprise me at all, given the general incompetence of casinos in Arizona. Seems worthy of complaining/making a stink about but I don't see how creating a thread here will accomplish anything, sorry.

What was the buy in for this event, btw?

Not sure why people bitch about chainsaw threads. Even if his threads are trivial at times, it's an internet forum. By definition, a forum is a place to voice public opinion and a place for judicial review....pretty much exactly what Chainsaw uses it for.

Sure, 99% of the people on here won't ever play at this Arizona casino; but, if this thread has the potential to catch a cheater or preventing this sort of tournament from occurring again, I don't see why anyone would bitch. If you don't like chainsaw, just don't open his threads. Stop being such a douche.

This is a legitimate concern and issue brought up by a sheep that cries wolf way too often... And Despite some of the recent issues brought up by Allen being legit, I wish that he (or the mods) would stick all of his complaints in the 'chainsaw complaint thread'

If you feel like it's a huge deal , then don't play. They obviously dont have any other choices at this point in time so complaining about it isnt gonna do anything.

It's nice to let everyone know ahead of time in case that would stop them from playing so they knew without having to drive down there but the rest of the theatrics/complaining that go into a chainsaw complain thread is pretty sad/pathetic.

Allen, the real problem is clogging the forum...I am certain you don't see any problems, but most don't want to see 4 thread started by you on the front page of MMTc, half of which probably say "OMG look at so and so bad structure"...All we are asking is that you continue to post in your 'containment' thread

I don't really get all the hate for Allen here. OH NO HE POSTED A THREAD HE'S ASSAULTING YOUR EYES WITH LITERALLY DOZENS OF PIXELS WATCH OUT!

This chip problem is a pretty serious ****-up, especially if Men the Master is around. Having to see "doublejoker" on page one of mttc is a minuscule price to help save your money from cheaters.

Tbh if I knew they were putting in the 5ks today, I may not have posted, but if these things are never brought to light then there never will be change. I can guarantee you from what I've seen here next years event won't have any chips that were used in small buyin dailies.

uhhh, youze be wrong sir. this is far from a backwater casino. some of the bigger limit games in the country, and 50 tables near major cities. plenty of limit players go back forth from here to commerce. small-mid stakes nl action not bad either

Count the chips going in to the final table and update us on if there is a big discrepancy.

They removed every old chip from the players advancing to day 2. The process took about 1/2 hour, but at least people can't bring in more chips tomorrow.
