Thanks!
I like how in this picture the shorter stack across the table is all loosey-goosey eating a sandwich.Lots and lots of chips on the table is fun, as long as you’re the one with them!
I also agree with the mentality that a player with lots of smaller chips will splash around more than a player that has 40 total chips of the same value. I’ve played in that type of game, have a $2k stack and. 25 chips in a $1/2/5 game and I felt short stacked and needed to play tight.

I disagree completely. I play in many private games, some of which play very big, there is never more 25's than 5's. It doesn't matter what gets used, it's what people want to have in front of them. Games with all big denoms play tight and boring. Put 6 racks of fives on the table and watch the play open up.
This comment is meant for the controversial thread. Stacks of $5s please!
Sending good run and hot decks your way my friend…
I thought you retired ?
(Actually, I probably can't make it next weekend, but probably up for some other time if you need any players.)I agree with your second statement, but not the 1st and 3rd -- I've played in some very loose private games, where there were almost as many, if not more, green chips than red chips on the table at the end of the night. The games are 1/3 with a rock, but play more like a 5/10 or 10/20. We're talking games where people might sometimes straddle all-in for their last $150 or so (or more). Or every once in a while, straddles go 1/3/10/20/40/80+. In that game, it doesn't matter if they're red chips, green chips, black chips on the table. [Pro-tip: it's easier to make a decision to straddle all-in for $200 if you're only putting 8 chips into the pot instead of 40 chips.] But I will agree that it's often player dependent, so different games play differently.
I'll definitely keep you posted on future games. We're looking to play$2/$5 every 3 months or so depending on demand.Hey @Seeking Alpha Social Club, I'm late to this thread, but what's the start time?

In some of these games, starting stacks are basically 2 to 3 barrels of $5 chips to each player, then added green chips on top of that for the total buy-in. Rebuys were often done in all green chips, and if they ran out of green chips, black chips. I think that game had around 3-4 racks of $5s and 4-5 racks of $25s in their set.
Here's a story -- one of the guys who ran the game often played in it, and is a good player, but is also aggressive at times, and could make big bluffs, and could easily win a lot or ship a lot. His rebuys were often $1000, all in $25 chips. At one game, one of the other players was using a new card capper that was a tiny Lego figurine of a person, with a green thing in each hand -- I asked "what's that?" -- they said, "that's Joe after he gets stacked, coming back from the chip cabinet with a barrel of green chips in each hand." Lol. That had the table in stiches. (note: name changed for privacy)
Well, I wasn't able to get more HSI $5s in time for this weekends big game, so I suppose a bigger game just requires me to bust out a bigger set....Yeah. Damn bigger game is gonna make me partially unretire I suspect.
That should just about cover it.Well, I wasn't able to get more HSI $5s in time for this weekends big game, so I suppose a bigger game just requires me to bust out a bigger set....
Uh, I think you'll be ok.Well, I wasn't able to get more HSI $5s in time for this weekends big game, so I suppose a bigger game just requires me to bust out a bigger set....
What's the deal with these chips? Is there a heart "punched out" in the mold of the 10? And a diamond on the 2?
I was going to ask the same thing. at first it looked like a cancelled/drilled chip but then I saw it seemed to be die cut to the pip shape.
You manage to get a seat? Seems like these days waiting list is damn long!
Those Inserts are transparent
You shut your filth mouth.
Please forgive my fellow Scandinavian for the above. Cut him some slack, because:
Just 1 table. Thanks!!
I agree with him, @Seeking Alpha Social Club . You give me all of those $1 and you're going to get them right back in my bets...
I like to start everyone with all the $5s get them in play then rebuys with higher denoms and sell them off to other players
Is this a unique color combo? Not traditional rounders? Looks awesome love it.
Thanks! They are TRK Rounders.
