Sitting Out
Hi,
I'm peeking my head down the rabbit hole of poker chips now that my home game is starting to catch on. Currently we use basic blank clay chips from Amazon, and I'd like to upgrade them.
My home game has been .10/.25 NLHE with 10c, 25c, $1, and $5 chips. We've found that for this game, the 10c chips do little more than posting SB which slows down the game with people somewhat often needing to make awkward amounts of change. Because of this we are considering changing the denominations of our chips.
I've read a bit on this site and it seems that if we stick with the .10/.25 game, the best course of action may be to use 5c/25c/$1/$5 for chip denominations but this doesn't really resolve the issues with using 10c chips because I predict the 5c chips are pretty much only going to be used for posting SB, and there is going to be twice as many otherwise useless chips on the table.
Because of this, I am leaning towards making it a .10/.20 game with 10c/$1/$5 denominations with a 100bb starting stack of 20x10c, 8x$1, and 2x$5. One fewer denomination will simplify things and make it so the least valuable chips have a use other than posting SB and bloating the table.
I'm looking for some recommendations for higher quality chips which have a 10c denomination. So far I have a preference for ceramic chips because I've gotten some samples from Nevada Jacks and I quite like them. Too bad they don't carry anything lower than 25c. Also, any thoughts about my thought process above is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
(The closest set I have been able to find are the turbo chips from thepokerstore, though the lack of $ symbol means I will use 10/100/500 as opposed to my preference of 10c/$1/$5, and I find the colors somewhat garish.)
