Hi everyone, new here and new to poker.
Does anyone have a good suggestion for breaking down a 5c/10c game in chips? Like for $10-$20 buy ins (people do get stacked and rebuy), what chip denominations should I give everyone? And then I can use that to determine what a 600-1000 chip breakdown for our games would look like, so I can purchase that.
I overpaid for a ton of what I now know to be crap chips. I'm addicted to buying chips though, and want to get a set I'm really proud of for my micro-stakes game here in Indy. My friends and I are mostly 25-30ish and broke, so we like to play 5c/10c games. I currently give everyone all red 25c chips and a then a handful of 5c chips, but this breakdown is not working well. The 5c/10c quickly turns into $10 pots every hand, and some people don't learn and lose $80 every week. Trying to remedy this so they lose less and we still have a good time. I think I need to switch it up to some 5c, 10c, and 25c chips. Do people ever do 20c chips? I see I can order custom chips, I could make my own 20c chips right?
