Faro Dunes Tournament > Rancho Agave Cash > Faro Dunes Cash

@TheChipVault no diss because it follows the Lamborghini > Ferrari > Maserati pattern.

Wrong thread brother....

0.1/0.5/2/10 is the best breakdown for most recreational home games and allows you to spread the most buy ins and greatest variety of games. A shame more sets aren't constructed using the breakdown.

(lol) Willing to bet this guy loves 8/8/6/6 starting stacks for tournies as well… “spread the most buy ins and greatest variety of games” I would ask you to explain but really I think we have heard enough.

The word you are looking for is “efficient” and for sure you are the first to ever mention the 4x/5x rule… we are all aware trust me and technically for those very specific stakes you are not wrong to use a $2 over a $1… I would even buy a set as something different, but again those are very specific stakes and far from cover everything!

I am willing to bet everyone here has played in $1/$2 home games and would even bet those are the most common home stakes or $1/$1 because the majority do not use fracs… but how do we play $1/$1 or $1/$2 with your beautifully amazing cover everything stakes… Jesus what would you do for $2/$5?

“Well you use more $.50 chips” NOT!

I love $40 but in $.10/$.20 stakes pot limit for circus games especially with people that are just learning. Here is a beautiful set for $.10/$.20

Very similarly could be said about the T1k chip jump from T500… a x2 increase just sucks, but is accepted as the norm. Doesn’t mean others haven’t gone to a T2k and T10k for “efficiency”… cough, cough

(I did not design this or the plaques would be 10k and ai do plan to have them re made) as far as Efficiency ehh I just don’t see the big deal, but I love changing it up and messing with the mind sometimes. Experienced players are used to their routines and structure and just the slightest change can’t tilt and throw them off!

i don’t think very many people want to play with those nonstandard denominations. I’m sure you could get used to anything after a while, but why?

Halfway through reading this I couldn't tell if this was a hate post or an interesting expression of chipping love. Enjoyed it either way.

And done. Stand behind my opinion

Now Monte Carlo chips can claim they look just like real casino chips.

I like the Monte Carlos.

Easy to read denom, glitter-ring, good bright colors, and after handling one you learn to never buy any more low-end plastic chips.

I played in a tourney without t500 chips. Just 100, 1k, 5k. Honestly, it was fine.
