Playing from a "chip rack"

<< < (2/2)

Nick C:
Brooks,

 I agree and that makes sense. I guess I'm looking for a "story" about an incident that prompted such a rule. It's as if it appeared mysteriously overnight. Suddenly you were not allowed to play from your rack. I'll bet Daniel or Phil has the answer.

 I always thought it was about hiding cash under the rack, but what you said about possibly concealing cards is probably what happened. Thanks to Brooks, Dave and Max for your response.

Funny you said that, last year at the World Series they were selling card covers that are the exact size of your card (in metal), so they actually cover the entire cards,and I remember looking at a player next to me who was using it, and it was really hard to know if she had cards or not, unless you were next to her.  Dealer or player never said anything.
But I have also seen the rule you are referring to being enforced in some casinos

Nick C:
Okay...I'm looking for the "name player" that got his feathers ruffled because someone was playing from his rack and he didn't like it.

 A card ornament as large as a card? I don't think so. In fact, in my game you can't put a bottle of water on the table! ;D Nothing on my table except chips, cash and a small chip ornament that has no resemblance to the chips in play.

 Were you ever in a game where a player dumps a hot coffee, (double double) all over your table? Sticky cards, sticky chips and the game had to be moved to another table! ::) It's a nightmare! >:(
