About Chip Stacking

Hi!

What’s your thoughts about chip stacking? The other day, I watched a live play game by which all the chips used were colored out to only 2 color chips. There was also one player who had his larger chips hidden behind the cheaper chips and had a cheaper chip on top of his larger chips for others to think he only had stacks of cheaper chips. The opponent of the said player went all-in at some point and lost however later on found out they had the same amount of chips.

What’s your thoughts about what the guy did? Do you think it was something unethical and unacceptable?

Thanks in advance!

All the best,

Darwin,

Larger denomination chips are required to be visible at all times at the table. This is a rules violation. If the player with hidden chips moved all in and was called, his larger chips are still in play even if they are hidden.
