    Default How's this possible?

    Was watching the final table of a Freeroll MTT that I had been playing in an noticed when it got down to HU the chip count was just under 1.4Million when it should have been 1.5Million exactly.

    1000 players each start with 1500 chips - Where did the missing chips go? any ideas.

    Most probably, the MTT you were watching was on a strange site that changes minimum chip values when blinds reach a certain level. So they will round down any extra 25 chips to divisions of 100 chips when the ante gets to 100.

    It is a stupid idea and I know they do it on BugsysClub.

    mauxy - nah, not that bad a maths - well not when it's simple adding

    dwarfman - it was on william hill - I don't think it could be that though as their stacks were not multiples of ten

    Only possible thing I can think of Is if they have some weird way of coloring up chips like Dwarfman said.

    Only thing I can think of is that in the freerolls on will hill they kick out players after 1/2 hour who haven't played any hands ie are not going to turn up. This could account for the lost chips.
    75% of online poker players believe they are better than 75% of the other online poker players
