Some players have bundles of money in with their chips. Why?

yeah at my local casino's 1/2 NL action, you buy in for chips, but if somebody busts, they can rebuy with 100 dollar bills. when they rebuy, they trade a benjamin for 20 red chips from another player, and that bill stays on the table and plays. hence people's "stacks" are a mix of bills and chips.
on high stakes poker on G4, they let guys just play $10,000 bricks of bills in lieu of chips. this is prolly where you've seen this....

In Most poker rooms when the limits get up to 25-50 or even a little lower depending what casino you are at, cash does play on some tables. Each poker room has the rules posted on the wall, and it will say cash does not play or cash plays. If you buy into a 3-6 dollar game then cash will never play, but as you get into 20-40, 25-50, and 50-100 dollar cash games, you will see that cash does play, but most times it only plays if it is 100 dollar bills, 20 dollar bills and tens don't play in most places. hope this helps.

In many no-limit games, it is against the rules to take money off the table unless you're cashing out, so people with lots of chips will change money for other players who need to rebuy after they go all in. Plus the bundles of money are also in play, so they will be counted if the player goes all in.

Chips are just more practible than money in a game.. so instead of having 3598593 bills on the table, everyone buys chips ( with differents value ) and they play with the chips. When they cash out, they just change back the chips to money. Easier for everyone.
(chips make the table more "clean" than a bunch of paper money, too)

I'm taking it your refering to High Stakes Poker on t.v. It's a high stakes game. There is no fixed rule saying you can only use chips for poker. If your playing a private game, which is what the high stakes poker show is, then you can use whatever people agree on. Cash, chips, mixture.

in cash games, you can use either chips or cash, and the only places i've seen cash is high stakes poker and poker after dark(but poker after dark is a tournament, they just let them put the cash out there to make it look like a cash game)
in every other tournament besides PAD, you can only use tournament chips

I play, and watch, alot of poker and I haven't seen that. Where are you seeing it? In private games, or on TV? I know that in some poker games you are allowed to " Buy - In " more than once. Maybe the stack of money is there to show that they can still buy in again.

I'm not sure, but I think its just for show, after all what looks cooler, piles of chips or piles of CA$H.
