Sam Trickett running sick in Macau

He just tweeted this pic. I wonder how much hew was down if this isn't up.

Out of curiosity, I just had to count it. I count three stacks of 40, and one stack of 24 for a total of 144 plaques. At $100k HK per plaque, this equals $14.4m HK. This equates to almost 2 mil USD. Now THAT is a lot of gamble money--I couldn't even imagine playing stakes like that. For example, you flop the nuts with 2 cards to go and someone calls allin. You want/should call, but for $2m?? I'd have to have a lot behind before I could make a call like that, but that's why they play at these stakes and I play the $3 games...

I really can't imagine playing with plaques instead of chips and having huge pots of them or having to lug them around when you leave to cashout.

It would fuck me up constantly having to do the currency conversions in my head.

I would like to think that you would have security carrying that much around the casino for you as a courtesy when it comes time to cash out. I would also say that if there isn't already an easy to use conversion app for the i-phones and android you could have one of your guys right one for you to sell c-money.

Running sick = running good.


That was all.

Chest cleared.

Here is the classic shot from those games:

38 million HK -- 3.9 million USD.

The plaques on top are 500k and he has more of those in front of the stack.
