Yeah, I didn't recall seeing any specific rule either. Is an exact count necessary/appropriate? And "High-denomination" is pretty vague.

Yet another rules area that the WSOP should address specifically in the future. Otherwise, whether or not you think it's a d-bag move, Villain was (possibly) within his rights, and the floor was (potentially) over-reaching (although the floor can always do whatever it wants also, unless explicitly forbidden). If Villain wants to, it sounds like he can keep his stack in whatever messy random state he prefers, as long as the "high-denomination" chips are in front.

As long as the obnoxious Canadian with the Napoleon Complex doesn't win, I'm happy.

etc etc

Wow. Wsop has several different rules sets. Here's one that actually sides with the guy:

Quote:

Section IV Procedures

72. Any player is entitled to a clear view of an opponent’s chips. Higher denomination chips must be easily visible. If a player requests an accurate chip count for another player, the dealer is responsible for counting out the chips if the player does not want to count out their own chips.

I didn't even know that was in the WSOP rules. And it's certainly not in the TDA rules (except for the point about keeping the higher denomination chips in view). But that said, I can't imagine any (marginally well-run) tournament not getting a chip count for another player, one way or another.

Somebody famous (Raymer?), if asked for a count, merely spreads his hands and lets the dealer count them. But again, he's cooperating with the spirit of the rule; he just doesn't want to possibly give away anything by going through the exercise of counting and announcing his stack.

This really is a non-issue and the guy who "refused" to allow the count was just way off the rails.

Regards, Lee

awesome.

and btw players in a 10k event (other than the ME obv) that don't understand why the amount of chips you have is relevant - yeah it seems to me tournaments should still be long run beat-able.

yea I always thought the player didn't have to tell you his chip count but the dealer would count it up if you requested.

reminds me of a time i played in a 5k buyin live tournament.

an older guy (douche btw but irrelevent - u know those older guys that u can tell were spoiled their entire life (born into millions) and never hard to work a day of real labor in their life) opened from the cutoff. i was in the SB. i asked for his chipcount because it was a spot where i could profitably reshove if the stacks were right given how much he was opening etc. he didn't know for sure, so the dealer counted it out.

the next day I hear the guy talking, "oh that kid was at my table. he gave me one of those, "how many chips u got left" moves and then shoved all in."

i'm just thinking "lol" this guy seriously has no clue why I asked for his chip count. i legitimately think he thought i asked for the sole intention of trying to read his face as to whether or not he was weak or strong or some other far fetched meta game scenerio.
