I've played since 2000 and triple the hours of koko since 2012 (sick brag) and have never seen one instance of a controversy over commingled chips.

The real lesson here is to not act like such a boss and shuffle your large denomination chips. Stack them neatly in front and forget about them until the time comes to bet with them.

Your ego cost you.

I've played tons of live hours and I've never stolen anyone's chips- not even 50 dollars worth because I thought I could get away with it. Also nobody has ever accused me of stealing chips when I'm stealing chips like the op.

lmao @ this thread

Telling a pointless story with no apparent climax other then him trying to scam an old guy out of $100 at a poker table, then trying to tell everybody how he isn't scum

wp OP, very good trolling.

edit: just read like 5 of OP's different threads

confirmed troll

Next time they should drop 1 dollar chips and then steal your greens. Or not pretend to be good at poker by shuffling chips, every 1/2 table is full of pro shufflers?

You cant admit to gaining an extra $100 from an old guy and not expect abuse lol pointless story pointless thread!

I've actually done this. I was stacking chips in tall towers and had like 2 towers of like $350 in red. I accidentally knocked it over into my neighbors stack. I errored on the side of caution and pretty sure I let him keep like 50 bucks because it was solely my fault. Difference compared to this story was it was 1/2 and we both had only red birds, so it was a cluster. I felt like an ass and now I don't stack chips higher than like $200 stacks.

I don't understand how OP had so few chips, was shuffling them, yet doesn't have a good guess as to how many greens he had

Accidentally knocking chips over is not the same thing as accidentally dropping a pile of chips.

Simple. He knew exactly how many he had and was trying to steal from his neighbor.

I think you're taking "drops his stack" to literally. I doubt the old guy literary held chips over OPs hands and dropped chips. If the old guy had multiple stacks and just rotated in his seat and his forearm pushed into them and they all ended up in the area OP was shuffling, the same problem arises if both have no idea what they had.

After reading the rest of the thread I'm kinda surprised so many people have never seen this situation happen before. Aside from doing it myself, I've seen it at least 2 other times I can think of. Maybe it's because I play more 1/2 than anything else and you get more noobs, idk.

Regardless, OP said he thought he had between 475-525, but wasn't sure, 1st thing he should have done is state that exactly. A simple "I'm not sure what I had, but it was between 475-525" then the old guy probably just says take 525 and you both move on. As far as the 3rd party getting involved, he can go pound sand, it has nothing to do with him once the video was inconclusive

This is something that tilts me. It's stupid and leads to avoidable messes. You're inviting trouble when you deliberately stack your chips in an unstable manner.

Further, it's absolutely ridiculous to offer as evidence that something can happen an anecdote of the time when you begged for it to happen.

Oh yeah? You played the equivalent of Jenga with your chips? Cool story.
