I hadn\’t played at the Wynn in nearly a year … but did so last night, and much to my delight they got rid of their confusing $3 chips in the $1/$3 NL game. They now use the more standard $1 and $5 denominations.
Not sure when the change happened — presumably in 2008 — but I\’ll be staying there for the next couple days, and not having to brush up on my base-3 mathematics makes the game that much more enjoyable.
(Played last night there for 2.5 hours … buy-in: $200, cash out: $268. Not bad, but I left a couple orbits too late, as my stacks were over $500 when I got that leaving feeling.)
