i dont know shtein about non sports gambling so this is probably a retarded question but is it 1500 to just get in then you have to buy chips...or 1500 bucks gets you in the game with X amount of starting chips and you go till youre out?

second. everyone starts with same amount of chips, thats tournament style.

a more relaxed game may see you buy whatever the farg you want in chips, but thats not the wsop.

didnt answer the question

yeah he did, probably just not clearly enough that if you don't know anything/much about poker, then it didn't make sense. 

wsop style tourneys have each player start off with the same amount of chips so that every one is starting off on a level playing field.  the chips don't necessarily have a "cash" value to them.  not sure about wsop, but i know if you go to a bar tourney, the buy in might be $50 but you get say $200 in chips. 

more "relaxed" tourneys or games will sometimes do dollar for dollar exchange on chips.  so if i drop $100, i get $100 in chips but if you throw down $200, then you'll get that same amount in chips which obviously would give you an advantage over me.  this is mostly applicable to regular poker tables in a casino.

May be making another trip to AC Tuesday night.....Wherever we go I wanna play 1/2 cash, but I know my friends going are tourny guys....what's the best place down there for affordable tournys? I know Harrahs has a daily one at 8:15 for 80 bucks....I have yet to check out the Trop's website.....any other places have daily tournaments for 100 or less?

i never asked anything about starting with the same amount of chips...that wasnt the question at all...the question was is the buy in all you pay at the wsop....or do you pay a buy in and then pay for chips...i thought maybe because the thing was so big you had to pay for the right to get in then pay more for your chips

thus the question was never answered

The question is retarded. Who on earth would buy their way into a casino just so they'd have to pay again for their chips? What are you gonna do, pay $10,000 to watch other people play?

taj mahal has some good tournaments.  there's one at midnight every night for around $50 i think and gets between a hundred and two hundred people.

i know they have several others throughout the day too.  it's my favorite poker room in AC other than Borgata.

i said it was most likely retarded before i asked it (RIF)....i dont know shtein about poker (as i also said - RIF)....but it still doesnt change the fact that it wasnt intially answered

[MDS]

ill answer your questions when you stop being such a honkey

[ice grillin you]

honkies play poker son

[rjs246]

Wait, did he just make an acronym out of 'reading is fundamental'? And did he attempt to mock me for not recognizing that he prefaced his stupid question by admitting that it was stupid by typing 'RIF'? Twice?

Wow. I've totally been shamed. How embarrassing for me.

you sure about that?

so you're asking if you pay $X just to get a seat at a table and then have to pay more for chips.  i'm pretty sure that question was already answered.  twice.  but here it is for a third time (RIF).

the buy in price gets you in the tourney along with your chips and you play until you're out. 

[ice grillin you]

or 1500 bucks gets you in the game with X amount of starting chips and you go till youre out?

theres nothing in that question that says anything about people starting with different amonts of chips

even a poker moron like me knows everyone starts with the same amount of chips...when i said X amount i meant i didnt know how many chips people start with in general because the amount of chips you begin with doesnt always equal the buy in price does it?


and yes the question was subsequentily answered (at least twice)

it just wasnt initially answered by the lil guy

i aint no lil guy when i be swinging a 10 inch dong in yo mommas face son
