the smartest poker player ever.

in a poker room in a casino, there are 2 kinds of chips. cash chips, which are actually worth the amount written on them, and tournament chips, which have no physical cash value, they are just used in tournaments and collected when the tournament is over. Some crafty bachelor decided to swipe a couple off the tournament table and put them to good use.

"The story starts with a girl. She’s frantic. She’s yelling. She’s at the main cage trying to cash out but they will not honor the $500 value of the chip. Why won’t they honor it? Well, the chip clearly states that it has “no cash value.”

This girl is a working girl and she has been paid by, and all signs point to, a poker player. A player who wished to procure her services for the price of 1 $500 tournament chip.

Now what is the bigger sin? Ripping off a hooker or stealing tournament chips?

Word from the floor is that it happens all the time and that there’s more. No!

Yes. Another facet to the scam is that a poker player will hire a prostitute for a set amount of money. We'll say $600. Once the deed is done, 5 minutes later, and its time to pay up, the poker player will tell the pro that they only have a $1000 chip. A $1000 tournament chip. Of course they need change, and the lady of the night ponies up 4 hundred dollar bills for change.

So not only are they stealing tournament chips and ripping off dumb hookers, they’re also turning a profit."

BRILLIANT
