A $300 rake is beyond a joke. Even bill gates wont play in a game with a rake up to $300. Standard rake in ANY game in the world is $3-$20 at the most. I'm talking about nosebleed games underground or at casinos.

Sure they were playing pretty high like 400/800, but still, come on chase, do soem fkn research.

also, at a game that is that high, how does dealer not have a cut card? all the pot splashing, looks like these people have never played a hand of cards in their life.


I don't recall them ever stating a chip value in any episode. Just because when you play poker with your friends you assign a $25 value to the green chips and $100 to the black chips doesn't mean that everyone else does.


As for BS in the Soprano's; how about if the Jersey family boss assaulted a high ranking member in one of the big NY families as Tony did to Phil when he chased after him and then grabbed him by the throat after his red Lincoln crashed they would be in serious trouble. Also If the Jersey family whacked a boss of a NY family they would be in a lot of trouble however it can be argued that Tony paid for the move with his life depending on how you interpret the ending of the final episode. Now given that Tony told Chris that "Phil has 200 soldiers in his family" it would have to be the Genovese or Gambino's and this is all speculation but I would imagine if the Decavalcante boss Jimmy Ocean asualted a capo like Tino Fiumara or Danny Marino he could expect some serious repercussions.


hey kid, in the gambling world, to assign any other denomination to those chips would be , any degenerate high roller knows that. green = 25 , black =100, purple=500, yellow/orange= 1000/5000
as to ny vs nj, yeah ny is portrayed too incompetent. i was wondering too where the fucks the other 200 soldiers ...in iraq?
