When and why did this become a thing? I mean I don't mind people updating on their stack in a game, but just posting a bunch of chips without any context whatsoever as "chip porn" is ultra ******ed. I wish it would end.

I am pretty confused about why this thread was moved here from NVG, but who am I to argue with an admin?

Hi!

I have no idea what you're talking about, but you should probably try hitting it or fold.

Since you asked, he made a whiny post about posters and what they post in a forum that doesn't contain any of the aforementioned posts.

As for the obvious answer, if it tilts you so much, don't read them.

If I were a porn star, I'd want my name to be either Buck Naked or Chip something.

ATF needs a separate thread for gregorio's grievances, call it the gg thread. Time to drive the politarding out of here!

I'm sorry the coach of the basketball team you root for isn't racist enough for you. Am I doing it right?

And like I said, I don't mind at all if someone posts a picture of themselves with some chips and an explanation of how they were won, or if they update on their progress in a game. It's just when someone posts "Currently sitting on this in 2/5 at X casino" and then a bunch of chips. It's like, okay, I'm just looking at money on a table with no idea how it was won or if it was even won. You could be up $5 for all I ****ing know.

Since we do have a chip porn thread, how is anyone to know that your reference was elsewhere unless you state or make your point explicitly?

If you wanna know how they were won, why don't you just ask them? (personally when I see chip stack pictures on IG, I really don't care how they were won, and I don't go on tilt from not knowing, but that's just me. Sounds like you get jealous very easily).

That thread might even be the origin of the term, and it's a great piece of trolling history.
