Cash Game Cash game chip breakdown, angry mallard? (1 Viewer)

[Semper247]

Hi,

When we play a cashgame, it is not about the money. It is all about the fun with friends. But....there has to be some sort of competition
So...you pay 5 euro and get 5000 worth in chips . 25, 50, 100 and 500 (WPT chips)
I want to have an other set. What would be a good breakdown? 20x 5c, 10x10c, 8x 25c and 2x 50c ?

I saw the Angry mallard ceramic set. i realy like the look, and the fact it starts with 5cents. But i can't find a site where you can get a sample set...
Anybody know where to get a sample set?

No, that will be a mess. Preferred number of 5c/25c/$1s sounds better

5, 25 and 1 is a big diffrence. Remember they buy in for 5 dollar and fun is more important.....you want to have a little wiggle room
But thanks for your feedback!

That's the point, its more efficient with denominations that are far from eachother, and makes for bigger stacks of the lower denoms. Otherwise you've got a pot under $1 with 4 different colors in it? Kinda silly. Instead of a tiny bank because all your chips are so low, get a bunch of $1s and $5s to go with your 5cents and 25cents. That way, when the $1 or God forbid the $5 hits the table, its a big deal.

If you're playing 5 euro buy ins, how about designing a set around the standard 100 BB buy ins with .05/.05 blinds.

How many players attend your games, and on average how many buy ins will a player go through in a game?

My game is 6 max and most players go through 1 or 2 buy ins in a night, so I assume 3 buy ins per player. For .05/.05 and 6 players this would be a total bank of 90 (15 per player). I'd go with:

100 x .05
200 x .25
The rest in 1s

Ok. So maybe 5

Max players is 6. So you would also go with 5c, 25c and 1's
But what would the starting stack be?
How many 5, 25 and 1?

Angry Mallards are great. You can purchase them and samples I think at pokershop.de

 

[SteveEH]

No specific starting stack. I'd put all .05s in play, top up the rest with quarters, and add the rest as needed as players rebuy. If I wanted 3 different denominations in play I may sacrifice some quarters for dollars.

or...

.05 x 15
.25 x 17

Already looked there. A lot of samples sets, but no Angry Mallards

Always prepare your set for a full table of 10 even if there's only 6 playing most of the time.

It way more efficient to do 4 / 5 x denomination like 5c 25c $1 $5 etc

100 x 5c
200 x 25c
100 x $1
40+ x $5

For starting stack of $5 at 5c/5c stake

Give first 5 person 20 x 5c, 16 x 25c
6th person onwards 20 x 25c and give $1 after all your 25c is used up

For starting stack of $10 at 5c/10c stake

Give first 5 person 20 x 5c, 20 x 25c, 4 x $1
6th person onwards 20 x 25c, 5 x $1 and give $1 after all your 25c is used up

So considering this game is to be played in euros, maybe 5¢ and 20¢ denoms are more instinctive for players?

https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/coins/html/index.en.html

In this case I would design a set that's like 100/300/100 of 5¢/20¢/1

Starting Stacks (5¢/20¢)
5 stacks: 20/20

Reload stacks (20¢/1)
8 * 25
20 * 5

But plus one to all the other suggestions, the fewer denominations in play the better in NL, it just makes for easier counting of all ins. 4x-5x gaps between denominations are just standard for this reason.
