Always ask for a count

I'm LAGing it up at a 5-handed 10/20 last night at the Trop, and I get T6o on the button. First two fold to me, so I raise, SB folds, BB reraises. I look over and see he has two chips in front of him, and say, "Is that all you have left? I'll put you all in." Turns out he had $30, not $10; and he had KK in the hole. Confused

ALWAYS ask for a count.

Ended up down $250 after I lost consecutive hands with KK to AA and QQ to KK in a 3-handed game. Rigged, I tell you.

When I am way up, I sometimes cash my chips in for $100 and $500 chips. One guy put me all in when he didn't realize one of my chips was a $500 one. Took $200 off him for that mistake. LOL.

In my defense, the guy had a $5 on top of his $25, but I still learned a good lesson. Thankfully, he didn't have a $100 lying under there, although I probably had a good argument he was concealing chips if he had.
