Best advice I can give is to refrain from constantly going into the pocket back and forth. When I first started playing bigger denomination chips, I was constantly paranoid that I may have dropped chips so I kept checking on them in my pocket. Of course I dropped a few checking on the chips that never moved... LOL. But I was fortunate enough to recover them. Now I buy in. Play. Color up and straight into the pocket they go until at the cage, hotel room or final meeting wherever that may be. It's not a good feeling to be carrying around that type of money when you are not used to it. You lose one little chip and it could cost you $5,000 or more sometimes. Also, it gives onlookers less of an idea of how much you have on your person. You never know who is watching.
After a thorough audit of my chip inventory and trip cash, I think its unlikely I lost the purple chip, which is a relief. I've made some changes in my trip bankroll management. I normally keep my chip inventory and trip bankroll close at hand because I don't always know ahead of time when I can get in a session. Now with more than 80 bj sessions in the last 2 months, and keeping a substantial trip bankroll, its necessary that I manage the bj funds more professionally. So now instead of keeping a log of only session results, I'll keep a separate accounting of funds into and out of the trip bankroll. I'm also looking into more secure forms of chip storage. I found something at walmart.com that looks small enough to keep on hand but yet holds more than enough chips.
Man, you calculate EV in a TOTALLY different manner than I do!But then again..........maybe it's the definition of "lost" that you have that's different than mine. Because I guaranty that anything you put in a stripper's g string was LOST forever and casino chips just don't quite fit while freebet coupons just MIGHT!

It's because of observations like these that I can't completely discredit the Efficient Market Hypothesis. There is an old economist joke that goes:
"An economist and a normal person are walking down the street together. The normal person says “Hey, look, there’s a $20 bill on the sidewalk!” The economist replies by saying “That’s impossible- if it were really a $20 bill, it would have been picked up by now.”
