[Blindtlk] WSOP

[mworkman at ualberta.ca]

Hi,

I regularly play in home games using braille cards and chips of differing
weights.  In these games, I might have some heavier clay ones, some plastic
ones of the same shape but much lighter, and some thin plastic ones.  If we
want a fourth denomination, then it is easy enough to put some notches in
the cheap thin plastic ones.  I've also heard of people buying a nice set of
clay chips and etching different patterns into them (e.g., black equals an X
pattern, green equals two parallel lines, blue equals no marks, etc).  I've
also been in games where this wasn't really an option because only one size
of chip was available, so another player would stack my chips after I won
the hand, and I would keep track of the various stacks.  I don't prefer this
last option, but it's okay in friendly low stakes games.  Finally, I think
they do sell chips of differing shapes on line (e.g., square, triangle,
circle, etc).  I've never actually used these though.

In a casino, so far as I know, the only option is to have someone sit next
to you and whisper information to you as well as gather your chips at the
end of a hand.
