That last point is a quirk of poker that I like! My biggest cash to date is around $4k, which was a chop 3-handed in a regional final game. While waiting for admin, the hand we play out, I get the 2nd nuts and villain has the nuts in a 4-to-flush board. He's making bets, of course, but he's not getting greedy. The chips now have direct money value, because this will probably be the last hand. I figured his river bet was worth more than my bankroll at that moment. I reckon that hand cost me $300 or so, although I must say I really didn't care.
