Poker term
Day 2 / bagging
At the end of a tournament day, surviving players 'bag' their chips in a sealed bag with their name and chip count written on it, to be brought back for the next day of play. Multi-flight events often have several Day 1s that all feed into one Day 2.
Frequently asked questions
What does bagging mean in poker?
Sealing your chips in a numbered bag at the end of a tournament day, with your name, count and seat recorded, so play resumes from the same stack.
What happens if your bag count is wrong?
It is treated seriously. Miscounts are investigated by the floor and can cost you chips or the entry; the count on the bag is what you return to, so it is worth verifying before signing.
