To those who are planning to go to the Las Vegas convention these words are so critical at this juncture in there preparation.

The basic question that one would ask is what denominations or areas of chips would someone bring with him to the convention trade sessions.

Another question is how many of each chip will he bring with him.

Then there is the question, should he bring his Notebook or laptop or Organizer with the complete list and categories of his permanent collection to minimize collecting duplicates. Should he scan and print in color all his collection for easy access and comparasion to a probable trade. Or should he just scan the entire collection and get access from the trading floor when needed.

Terry Shaffer wrote that he is leaving the Nevada traders "home alone". Another thing he said was that he is leaving all the $5.00 home too, except in the $5.00 and higher denominations in the areas he collect.

Ross Poppel told me to check the airline for the weight limit, why pay for the excess weight which makes a lot of sense, the money I will pay for the excess luggage I can use to just simply buy the chips I need.

What do you do? Please let us know how you approach the decision making to optimize your trading scores?
