Yeah that's a cool site.

A friend of mine recently got into the game and was almost more interested in learning the 'cool' tricks the pros do on TV, than becoming a winning player! lol. he went to the casino and bought 15 1 buck chips to practice while playing on the net... I thought it was funny .

He has since learned how to do most of the tricks well, with at least 70 percent success rate, but he hasn't become a winning player yet (and I am starting to wonder if he ever will...)

Cheers,

Gutzz

Going to the casino like that sounds like an expensive way to get poker chips to practice tricks. Does he know he probably could've bought a case of 50 chips for about the same price.

Hey Kidd,

Well he's kinda weird, and wanted to make sure what chips he had were very similar to Casino ones. What better way to make sure you're getting chips that're just like the ones in a Casino, then to buy them from the Casino? Also, he'll be able to come back and use the chips, so it really isn't going to cost him anything now that I think about it, right?

That's if he doesn't lose them.
