In my 22 years of playing, whenever I see this I know I am going to have one damn good day there (besides making me want to tip the table over out of disgust). Usually, these players play so ABC (because they read Super System and the Hellmuth book) , crave attention thinking that the "poker scene" will now bow to them and they will now have an identity, and then snicker about how everyone is playing so badly and they should be winning while their intricate design in chips becomes a stump barely off the felt.

I seen this shit all the time around the turn of the century through the early poker boom, but was damn glad that when I finally could play high enough did not see it anymore. I just hate it. Luckily, I haven't seen it since those lower level game days. But, it seems to still be a thing down there by the look at this. Let me tell you, nobody does this in the "placard" games, even though they would be great for making things :)
