I host a weekly poker tournament at my university where I deal (the Students' Union has forbidden me from playing as a professional player, which I think is fair since I'm also the president of the society, so it'd be iffy) in low stakes tournaments of about £1-5, where prize pools are usually £25-100 per week. The situation arose where one player asked how many chips another had and the player who was asked refused to give a count. I, as the dealer, leant over and started counting their chips, at which point the player in question told me they didn't want the other player to know.
This player is not a newbie, they are a solid poker player with much live tournament experience in real casinos, which is why I was a bit confused when I was told that he thought that he was allowed to obscure his chip count from other players. I insisted that other players are allowed, and the player eventually agreed. My assumption (and experience) is that, if asked, the chip counts of any player should be made available to other players upon request. Is this the case?
