High Stakes Poker

[slapdash]

Been watching some of these. Good programme, but does anybody else think it's a bit tacky to have a mix of chips and enormous wads of banknotes? I'm almost tempted to send them 50 quid so they can buy a few more chips. Also, is it common in high stakes cash games to have antes as well as blinds? Or is that just designed to stimulate a bit more action for TV?
