Personally, I will not knowingly bid against anyone I know on this board, friend or not. My situation is unique, however, as opposed to others that stated openingly that it depended upon how much they wanted/needed any certain chip. I have never seen ANY chip that I wanted that would entice me to "overbid" in excess of my quidelines. Remember I cannot have every chip, so what's the big deal if I don't bid on a certain chip I may like but do not have.

These are my current quidelines. That is not to say my practice may not change in the future, but I have no plans to alter my style at the moment.
