I’m hosting a cash game on Friday that’s .25/.50, I’m not sure if I should get chips for that value or just substitute different values for them
I do that when I play sometimes so I’ll probably do thatI was thinking about the low denoms as well --- I'm leaning towards picking up $1 $5 and $20s. For micro stakes, the plan is to use the chips and 'divide by ten' so getting to 0.10, 0.50, and 2.00 effective for the session. Then the chips will still be relevant ten years from now, when inflation will have made $1 chips the new nickels...
I think NCV fracs is the most flexible solution, even if you're never going to play 2¢/5¢ or 5¢/10¢.If you’re unsure of which one, maybe go with a NCV so you can use it for whatever works best on a given night. Never both.
NCV is a really flexible option.
Oh if we’re talking about Paulsons, hells yes. Paulson fracs are stupid expensive. I’m all cool with ncv alternatives there. I like starbursts.Starbursts, NCVs, T25s, and roulette chips are all viable options if you can’t / don’t want to spend big money on “real” fracs.
All are better than using $25 chips as quarters, IMO.
Exactly. And the casinos that do use them only use them for weirdo games I don’t understand, like baccarat, and they don’t keep very many on hand. So even if the chip room buys out a casino like that, there aren’t nearly enough to go around.Are fracs so expensive as most casinos don't use them anymore so they are impossible to harvest?
Fracs are the only part missing of my set now. I just use ncv.
Hey man.NCV FTW
Yes sir! Ha! Just messin with ol rieguy.Not Safe For Work???
When you say Starbursts, do you mean the literal candy or something else? I’m new so I don’t know the lingo.Starbursts, NCVs, T25s, and roulette chips are all viable options if you can’t / don’t want to spend big money on “real” fracs.

They paulson chips which have a hot stamped ‘starburst’ logo. Looks a bit like a giroscope or an atom pattern of sorts.When you say Starbursts, do you mean the literal candy or something else? I’m new so I don’t know the lingo.
The candy would work too, but I’d end up eating all my fracsWhen you say Starbursts, do you mean the literal candy or something else? I’m new so I don’t know the lingo.
