Cash Game .25 Chips/How Many (1 Viewer)

[Polochris]

quick question guys.

For a .25/.50 game and sometimes .50/1.00 game, how many quarters would be needed. I have 200 now. Let’s say 10 players Thanks guys!

200 is perfect for 10 players, 1 barrel per player is the absolute maximum you'd ever want on your table.

You can also easily get away with only 1 rack by giving quarters to the first 5 players, the rest buy quarters from them... having 3 stacks of quarters is annoying IMHO.. I'll save the 3 stacks for dollars or fives

Some will argue 200 is perfect.

Others will argue 100 is perfect.

If you spend some time surfing these forums you'll see the #quarterwars debates (I mean discussions).

Early on, I was firmly in the 200 camp, but I have since been converted to the belief that 100 is plenty.

I have 200 so I’m good I don’t need to buy more!

You are good with 200.

 

[Polochris]

I

You are good with 200.

Ok good! I just don’t want players using $1 chips to make their .50 BB and then always taking change from the pot. That gets annoying

I’m in the 200 quarters camp. Firmly.

Issue a full barrel of quarters and a full barrel of $1’s, the add $5’a until you reach you BI amount.

200 are plenty.

I used to use 2 racks for a single table game but recently moved to just one rack. First 5 guys get a stack with their buy-in, the rest just get $1s and up and buy quarters as needed from those that have them.

 

[Polochris]

Cool beans! Good advice guys Now who wants to play some poker

 

[Polochris]

Now is 300 -$1 chips good?!

 

[David O]

Now is 300 -$1 chips good?!

I think so but how many tables are you spreading. You can actually get by with two racks for one table. If spreading two tabs at least 3 if not 4 racks.

For the rest of the denoms it depends on how deep your game plays.

 

[churlbut18]

Now is 300 -$1 chips good?!

Yes, I think 200-300 x $1's is fine for a single table...

If chips are unlimited, sure, go nuts with 200. But if there are a limited amount of chips you can own, whether because they’re so expensive, or even just because you can only fit so many in a case or a birdcage, then the number is 100.
FWIW, I own 120 in my .25/.50 cash set.

It's more than annoying. If you're dealing, never let players take change from the pot. Period.

Yes

 

[EventHorizonVII]

Now is 300 -$1 chips good?!

For a 25/50 yes.

A suggested breakdown for that game for 10 seats is
100 x .25
250 x $1
250 x $5
20 x $25

Could go bigger with $5 for deeper games though.

 

[Polochris]

Well this is my breakdown of PNY chips

200-.25
300-$1
585-$5
550-25
120-100
And soon 50-$500

I have a range of buy ins to be honest.

Chip pics man or it ain't true. We want to see them stacked, racked and in a pile

 

[churlbut18]

Lol. Pictures of your chips! Have you not visited the Poker Chip Pr0n thread here yet??? It's where it's all at...

 

[jja412]

I'm a 100 quarters guy. Since you already own 200, try it both ways, and really pay attention to game flow and bets. Go with whichever one you prefer.
If you ever end up with two tables, you have the fracs covered.
300 $1 chips is plenty for 1 table. 2 tables I would have at least 400.
If your game plays bigger, than just add more $5s ( I shoot for 400 $5 chips per table in the games I play in, but super deep games with high buy-ins will need more.)

This is a good breakdown. I see you are heavy on the larger denoms but if I remember correctly you are trying to also trying to use these as Tourney chips?

Ahhhh I see! Well I am in the process of getting the chips very soon! I have chips from Josh at Apache that Are on their way, chips from detroitdad, and chips from another great chipper! They should all be here this Thursday! They will backmw up promise I’ll send my entire stack then! This is what I got so far

There you go, the NY Hundo (like many Hundo) looks great

 

[David O]

I would suggest using primary or secondary 25's and hundos for cash and then use the others for tourneys
