The Poker Chip

The way an opponent handles chips can tell you a lot about his or her playing style. A quick glance at one's chips usually means a bet is on the way. Players who stack their chips into elaborate pyramids or other miraculous feats of architecture are people you should watch out for-holding onto one's chips long enough to engage in this kind of construction is the sign of a very patient player who isn't mixing it up in too many pots.
