Making change in Tournament poker.

[Sulphur man]

So you build up a stack (thin) and then everyone at the table needs change each hand. Are
you forced to make change? Can you refuse if you deem that its not absolutely necessary?

People being uncooperative with giving change is a legit contender for most tilting thing in live poker.

What about those people who insist on putting in 100 for the ante, even though they already have 75% of the 25s at the table already?  To be fair so much about live poker is tilting.

The most tilting thing is so many squareheads calling raises with extra change to make life 'easier' for the dealer.

Someone raises to 525, they say nothing and slide a 1K and a 25 over the line. FFS, just chuck 1 chip in if yr calling or the exact amount.

When the dealer starts to make change offer up yr 25 spot then

It's a power thing Dan. They refuse, or get awkward, because they can.

I always assume when they do that it suggests they are hen-pecked at home, but at a poker table, they have that ounce of power.

There's one at every table, but when I'm donning my Thom Yorke personna & am King for a Day, instead of lining them up against the wall & shooting the lot of them, I'd make them all share the same table.  It has the bonus of segregating them from all those dreadful average recreational players who put us proper players on life tilt.

So glad i posted this, these responses are priceless and the reason i love this forum.
I always make change without compliant although it does on occasion grate me. And yes
live poker can be immensely tilting at times agreed.

Nothing more fun than giving someone a stack of 25s so they stop bugging you for change and then watch them spend 4 minutes counting out a call of 450 using 18x25 chips in the next hand before asking you for more change.

I hate it when dealers ask someone to buy up all the lower denomination chips just before colouring up and someone won't do it incase he needs to bet a 25 chip. Wankers

Yup, them guys have destroyed the game. Such a nuisance.

What's tilting is when the ante is say 50 and done throws u 100 for four 25 denomination chips. Put the 100 in and the dealer will give u 50 change u doughnut!

Anyone making a bet with more than the minimum number of chips required should have their hand declared dead imo

How about when you're in the sb and you put a 1k chip in front of you to cover the small blind which is 500 and a player next to you reaches over and changes your 1k chip for 2 x 500's, I know people are only trying to be helpful but this does wind me up a tad. I'd friggin ask if I wanted you to change it.
