Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster. I've read a ton of posts and I see some good stuff here. Hoping not to fall down the trap I did 15 years ago when I got my first set
I'm looking to build a custom set at CPC. I'm trying for a 600 piece set because buying an Apache case means I have to admit to the spending problem, hah.
Now it's been a while, but when my friends and I played:
Assuming you have an SB chip and a BB chip, can you get away with a few SB chips (5-10 per player)?
I figure SB's are just used for SB and making change when putting in 5's. I am thinking of something like this, bank is 1,240 SB's
Misc notes:

Now it's been a while, but when my friends and I played:
- We used chips valued at 1, 2, 5, 10 (and up). We like chips on the table and to pretend we are in Rounders.
- I know PCF hates this spread, but it worked great for us. Every game, cash & tourney, different friend groups.
- I do want to incorporate higher spreads to future proof and who knows what the future brings so I'm not ignoring PCF here
- So aside from my SB → BB jump of 2×, I'll probably use 4, 5, and 2½ multiples
- We had zero problem with a "multiple" for each chip.
- I want denoms (to avoid the "How much is this worth?") but no currency (to be flexible)
- So we'll just have "1" be 10¢ most nights, maybe 20¢, whatever. Not an issue. I/we don't mind the math.

Relative Value | Buy | Starting stack ($20 w/10¢ SB) |
---|---|---|
1 | 100 | 10 |
2 | 150 | 15 |
5 | 200 | 20 |
20 | 100 | 3 |
100 | 40 | |
500 | 10 | |
Sum | 600 | 48 |
Misc notes:
- I have my old set of 2,200 dice chips to handle any tourney or larger cash games
- The link to my Google sheets shown in the image above is here. Just make a copy.
- If I did just get 800 chips, where would you add 200?
