Hybrid Tina Chips - Need Designer and Colour Advice (1 Viewer)

[LCC_Syd]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to purchase a custom Hybrid Tina set for a microstakes cash game.

I used the Chip designer tool to come up with these colours and spots. Looking to see if you guys have any thoughts on these colours. I love the yellow and the purple, but I'm not in love with the green, but I do like how it's the Aussie colours.

The denominations will be 10c/$1/$5, and a $20 plaque which I have no idea yet how to design. We play 10c/20c NLHE and PLO, and 40c/80c Fixed Limit Mixed Games, so that's the reason for these odd denominations.

We usually play with about 6 people, sometimes get up to 8. The breakdown I am looking at is 600x10c / 160x$1 / 40x$5 / 10x$20, though maybe I should get more $1s and $5s to future proof against stake increases.

I've seen this thread for designers but I need to make 3 posts before I can start DMing.

Thanks for reading! Any advice on chip colours/spots, denom breakdown or to recommend designers would be appreciated.

I like the colours and edge spots! Maybe change the brown on the $0.10 to purple to really make the set matchy-matchy since all of the other colours are shared?

If you'd like to go ahead and design the chips themselves (ie edge spots) you can use the Chipmatic tool and play with it yourself, then have a designer design the inlay for you. Or, if you are just looking for a simple inlay design, you can choose some templates built into the tool and customize them as well.

Once customized you can share the files link directly with Justin at Broken Arrow to have him order the Tina's.

everyone here will say the denoms are weird, going from 10 cent to 1 dollar. The dime is both your blind chip and your workhorse which is weird. Limit games also must routinely get pots of 200 chips which seems crazy. 5c and 25c chips would be the normal way to handle that. you could also just drop the 5c chip and play 0.25/0.25 NLH and 0.5/1 limit, which will play very similar to the stakes you're already playing. technically another option would be to add a 50c chip if you really want dimes.

Stylistically, id personally take the yellow out of the green chip to differentiate the chips a little more

There’s a handful of great designers on here who will chime in. @Okku is based in Vegas and is experienced with Tinas

Yeah, I wasn't sure about every chip sharing so many colours, thanks for the thought.

I did think about doing only quarters and playing 0.5/1 Limit but then you'd still need a smaller chip for the ante games, I know we could do dealer ante but we usually just play dealer choice in one offs not in a round. My players also like having big stacks of the lowest denom chip, the one who has the most they call the slum lord.

Could definitely do the classic. 0.05/0.25/1, play 50/1 and use two nickels as an ante. I think I'm just weighing up between massive chip stacks and pots being too unruly to be worth the cool factor.

Limit games I guess will get pots of 100 chips regularly and 200 somewhat regularly.

We play with dimes and 50c now and don't have that many dimes so the pots don't have that many chips currently.

Thank you! Will have a look at your suggested changes.

so used to thinking about limit games having each bet be one chip, forgot to account that your limit bets could get change for a $1 so don’t have to get so many chips in

Alright, I'm gonna go with more sane denominations. Which will give us room to grow should we up stakes, only having dimes will make it hard if we start playing 0.25/50 and up.

So I've added a chocolate 0.25 let me know what you think.

Alright, this is where I'm at with the Chipmatic tool. Olympia cause I'm in Olympic Park.

Looks pretty good but the 25c and $5 are too close for me, I’d be really worried about dirty stacks. If you are keeping all of those same colours then I’d make your $5 with a base colour of orange

Yeah, I agree they look quite similar.

Working with @Okku to get these nailed down, and print ready files produced.
