Eighty-five dollar bet (1 Viewer)

[FDLmold]

See the poll. Curiosity got the better of me, so I made a thread.

I’ve never played with 20s and rarely have 25s. Normally I bet this amount with 17 fives.

 

[WedgeRock]

So we are assuming there is no $85 chip?

In reality, I'm probably putting out a stack of 17 x $5 because there aren't many $20s/$25s on the table in our games.

But assuming stacks of either are available, I prefer 4x$20+1x$5 in a cash game.

Please add "None of the above." $85 bets are intrinsically unnatural. Trust me on this. @Chile85 makes these bets all the time.

 

[Chile85]

@Funny Side this is true, only if I am not making my usual OCD-friendly $88 bet.

 

[PlaidDragon]

What... not 10 of these...



...and a $5???

In all seriousness, I’d prefer 20’s on the table over 25’s.

Using n=8 Cedar Room $11 chips? @toad94 , done that....

That's what I'm talking about! Nice numbering for all!

This made me think of your table of LCO $2s that I once saw. Maybe 44 of those chips would be the best move. My next move would be sticking the winning chips in my pocket and calling it a night

17 x $5.

Always better betting with stack(s)

SAT night I did a bet using a barrel of fives. It was awesome. I don't put 25's on the table until I run out of fives.

 

[Sprouty]

A single $100 chip with three fives coming back.

When is the last time that you had a $100 chip in your stack?

 

[WedgeRock]

When is the last time that you had a $100 chip in your stack?

Tournament...

 

[detroitdad]

Tournament...

Even then, that is only if the blinds start at 100/200.

 

[Klobberer]

Depends if you want a call or a fold...small chips for a call, $100 and take change for the fold.

I can try to get you on the invite list if you would like?

 

[FDLmold]

Lol it is 10 to 10. Lots of consensus.

 

[detroitdad]

I didn't vote. An option needs to be for 17 x 5.

 

[RichMahogany]

Didn’t read all the responses...

I’d use a $100 chip if I had one in my stack

 

[ekricket]

I would raise to $240

I would make that bet with 85 ones if I could, but I am really just looking for the preference between these two.

 

[Geremie]

85 ones

All in.

I understand. I can't vote, because it isn't something that we would experience in my game. Plus, depending on which set I use, we could have 20's or 25's in play. I'm not partial to either.

 

[FDLmold]

Do any countries have a $25 bill? Or something equivalent. Or do they all keep it simple with denominations that end in 0?

 

[chipjoker]

My chips have $20's not $25's so yeah, thats ware I stand..

 

[DoubleEagle]

Definitely 17 x $5. In my game tonight I will put out 600 $5’s and will run out. Next week 700 when my seventh rack of Jack $5’s arrives. The more $5’s the better to induce action.

 

[Rhodeman77]

If it is early in the night it will be all $5’s and if it is the Casino Cancun set it will be $5’s even later in the night!!!

But overall $85 is kind of an odd bet amount, most of the times it would be $75 or $80 or $100.
