Hey guys, trying to get my chip count right. How many $1 chips should I be using in a $100 buy in $1/$1 game? Thanks for any advice.
Yes, NL Hold’em. I have enough for 10 $1s per person now but I feel like that may be a little short.I assume no limit hold’em?
A barrel per player should be plenty. So, 2 racks for a 10 player game.
You can get by with 10/person. If the host or dealer or overall group is used to and proactive about making change during the hand you’ll be fine. If not, it’ll noticeably slow down the game and you’ll likely try to find more $1s the next dayYes, NL Hold’em. I have enough for 10 $1s per person now but I feel like that may be a little short.
We play 1/3 and start with 10 per person too and it works fineYes, NL Hold’em. I have enough for 10 $1s per person now but I feel like that may be a little short.
Haha, yea that is true. I am currently trying to get more $1s. I always have another set I can use but I really want to use the new set.You can get by with 10/person.

Ok, that’s good to hear. I always have more if people bust out and buy back in. Just not enough to go over 10 per starting stack unless I didn’t match each starting stack exactly... but that may upset my OCDWe play 1/3 and start with 10 per person too and it works fine
I only use 100-$1 if someone adds on they get 5/25 and make change as needed, been working for past 5 yearsOk, that’s good to hear. I always have more if people bust out and buy back in.

Rebuys you can do with big chips only, then have them make change from the larger stacks. You should just get all your ones out there on the initial buyins. As stated above, 100 to 150 per table is plenty.Ok, that’s good to hear. I always have more if people bust out and buy back in.

I’d want 15 per player in a $1/1 game.

Interesting. Most opens in the $1 bb games I play in (both $1/$1 and .5/$1), the opening ranges are minimum $5 with $6 probably being the majority. I wonder if having more $1's in a starting stack would make the opens smaller and vice versa?If we were talking 1-2 or 1-3 then I would say 10/player max for sure.
1-1 is a little different because the standard opens are often 3-4 which can't be made using fives. I think 15-20/player for this reason is probably better, but most of flop and beyond streets will use fives only.
This is a very good point and I think I will take this advice just to put another 2 barrels of 1s onto the table. Thank you very much.A wise man, namely @BGinGA , said that chips start moving the moment the game starts so emphasising equal starting stacks is pointless. Best advice I've received in a long time.
Hell yes.. I know I'm being a grumpy twat, but I get tilted when I see people here showing off their cash chips "starting stacks for tonight's game." As long as there's enough change on the table, it doesn't matter. Buy in for what you want. Give them whatever chips you have. That's how it goes at the casino. For $1/2, most people sit down with all reds. Some guys just have a handful of greens. My first time, I sat down with a full rack of whites. It all works.A wise man, namely @BGinGA , said that chips start moving the moment the game starts so emphasising equal starting stacks is pointless. Best advice I've received in a long time.
