First off, I am an idiot for taking the $5,000 chip. I never do, and I know better. I am haunted by my bad decision to take the chip when I always ask for yellows.

The ID for the alias doesn't scan well. It works for checking in, but not for some of the sophisticated scanners that now seem to be popping up. I am afraid to use it with a $5,000 chip. If I show a player's card for the alias who got the chip, I am convinced they will ask for ID, and that will cause more trouble.

I have no problem showing my ID and players card for myself separate from the alias, but I don't have the play to support getting the chip.
