    I recommend $50 or $100 buy-ins for nickel bettors and $200 for quarter bettors.

    There is NO downside to buying-in frequently. It is part of your camouflage.

    A bit impractical in for $200 rebuy when you want to make a big bet - or a super steamer.

    You just slam the money down, like a degenerate
    "chasing" his losses while crying out ~ "All In."

    Just more reason to keep a chip inventory.

    Chip inventory certainly has its place, but sometimes..........
    It was my first visit to a new city. Had a true 12 heads up on a double deck. Time for the steamer act, and I had no chip inventory. Out came the cash.

    I rarely cash out chips from a store that I visit more than monthly.

    A chip or two makes the best buy-in of all. It makes you look like

    someone who plays so often that, (in effect), he never leaves.

    Forget a wallet, what you need is an indispensable part of any AP's wardrobe, the gambler's satchel.

    Not sure Moses has the requisite identification. I, for one, will not ask him to drop his drawers for confirmation.
