Cash Game Cash set to cover two tables of a variety of games/stakes (1 Viewer)

[GoStumpy]

With the upcoming final sale for the horseshoes, I am thinking of my final (minimum obviously) acceptable number for running two tables of cash games, from .25/.50 up to 1/2 or 2/5 with Omaha and mixed games introduced in the future.

I currently have:

320 - $0.25
400 - $1
800 - $5
300 - $25
100 - $100

Which I thought would be ideal, perhaps a few more $5's than I need but I know that's a workhorse chip in 1/2 at the Casino so.....

I'm thinking I should get another 3-400 $1's?

What do you think?

The set is perfectly suitable for 2 tables as is. 200 $1's per table is all you need, that is 1 barrel per player for 2 full tables. As players bust there will be too many on the tables anyways and you may end up chipping some up to make the stack more manageable.

If anything maybe 2 more racks of $5's. I like 500 per table and a rack of the secondary $25's since they are sooooo cheap for this sale to give you 2 per table. Though unless you think you'll be running a deep $1/2 and a $2/5 at the same time, you won't need them.

I have almost the same breakdown for my 2 table set, except I have 1000 $5's and only 1 rack of $0.25 as we don't play much low stakes.

I think firstly I'll get the extra 80 Tri-Moon quarters to get to 4 even racks of those

200 fracs per table is way over kill; the general consensus on here is a rack per table is plenty as they are just used for the blinds.

But they are beautiful chips and if you want more, get them!

I'd say 2-4 more racks of $5s and another rack of $25s and you'll have more than you'll need for two tables, but you'll have futureproofed your set.

Seems like a great set if you ask me. Maybe the bank would be a bit short for 2 tables of 2/5 Omaha. I guess this won't be a problem most of the time but with 100bb buyins of 500$ each player there will only be enough bank for one full rebuy per player + a little bit extra (22000$ bank). I don't know if this is a realistic plan of yours to have a game this big, but if it is I would consider grabbing some more hundos/500, just to make sure you can cover the most crazy nights of the future.

Got another rack of $25's and some $500's, missed out on another rack of $100's.

Against most people's judgement I bought another 400 $1's because I just want moar chips

Close to opening my own casino, lol

When you say two tables of .25/.50 through 2/5, do you mean two tables of different stakes or the same? Or it depends? If it depends, how frequently would you intend to spread each stake?

 

[GoStumpy]

I mean that right now we play .25/.50 but I could see a few years from now playing 1/2 or even maybe 2/5 if I get the right players...

I play 1/2 at the casino with the rake, would love to host a rake-free version in the future

It seems to me that you have a good count to handle 2 cash tables. Unless you just want "more chips" on the table (because -hey- "more chips") I recommend you play with the set for a while and figure out what works for your games and players.

One of my groups loves nice tidy stacks of PCR quarters, dollars, and fivers for our.25/.25 NL (predominately) hold'em game. My other group plays the same stakes but prefers Hi-Lo games like O8, Big-O, and stud hi/lo. The "idiots" (as they call themselves) prefer huge stacks of quarter and when I bring my PCR's they want to make them all "quarters" playing with only quarters and twenty-five dollar chips. I just bought 900 of the horseshoe roulettes so the idiots can have huge stacks of quarters.

Those are just 2 extremes. YMMV!

Who knows I might be running 3 tables in the future
