Hate for $25 denom (1 Viewer)

[rbk]

Like the title says, I think $25 chips tend to be the ugliest and I get really uncomfortable if I have an odd number of them in my stack. Even having multiples of 2 rather than 4 makes me a little uneasy. With that being said how many of you think $25 denoms are necessary for a game (mostly 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 2/5 stakes)? Considering a $1x100, $5x700, $100x180, $500x20 spread for 1/1 through 2/5. Or do I just have crazy OCD since I like to think in $100 multiples?

 

[RichMahogany]

You have OCD

 

[PLOdonk]

Use $20’s?

 

[rbk]

Use $20’s?

Same reasoning as the $25. If I didn't have a multiple of 5, I would ask my neighbors to exchange for theirs or try to exchange mine for $5s

You need $25 for all those stakes. For $2/$5, they become a secondary workhorse.
Think most $25 are ugly? Design your own.

Holy crap...just reading this post stresses me tf out...

Green chip best chip.

I would disagree that $25 are needed, as enough $5 (700 in this case) would support multiple bets under $100 for a 9 max table. If all $5 are in play, that would average over 70 $5s for each player which would be $350 in value. And on top of this, any bet over $100 would be utilizing the $100 denom anyways.

It going to cause so much unnecessary confusion when someone want to re-raise to $80 and flip in one $100 chip & the poor guy on the other side of the table tot he is just calling.

Or Maybe u are just weird

I don't think you're alone. I've played with people at 1/2 and 1/3 who've had an odd habit of selling their $25s to their neighbors as soon as they get any.

This is just the "more $5s" argument all over again, which I am not going to get into. If you can afford as many racks of $5s than you can count, then go for it. People like me who have real budgets need a higher degree of efficiency.

Yes, that should be sufficient $5s that making change for $100's would never be a problem. 35 barrels? That's like 4 per person. No problem, go nuts with your crazy game!

Won't be adding much with my comments but I don't like 25s either. Just because I'm not a fan of the green colour and I haven't found a green chip that I like but for the dunes 25$.

Newbies don't get the ongoing jokes.

Hmm I hadn't thought about this, but that's a pretty good point. Thanks for the compliment

Glad I'm not alone

I'm a big fan of the HSI primary...the only $25 I've ever found acceptable

 

[AlbinoDragon]

So, you're OK with multiples of five from $1 to $5 but multiples of 5 from $20 to $100 tilts you?

Interestingly enough, it's only ever been with $25. I guess having an incomplete barrel by 1 chip is also pretty tilting for me

20s can be whatever color you want (except blue, red, or white). Go crazy.

The $25 is my favorite chip in many of my sets. I consider them a requirement in my $1/$1 dealers choice game.

How can you hate on such beautiful green chips?

What tilts me are not properly stacked chips

Tilt isn't real. @TricycleClub

 

[Mike Wells]

As a dealer, it tilts me when a player cuts out a bet of $75 or $80 in fives, when they have a stack of greens. Like...come on...use your big boy chips.
edit: also a big fan of the JACK Detroit watermelons.

 

[MVStillwater]

Neither of my local casinos uses $25s at the poker tables. Lots of $5s, a few $1s if you're lucky, and then color up to $100s if desired (or making change for someone else.)
