How many racks of 5s for your 0.25/0.50 game? (1 Viewer)

[toothpic]

Just curious to the results for the general population here.

For me the answer is 3. Sometimes I don't get them all into play, but most of the time I do and I dip into the 25s.

I typically only get in 2, but I do plan to pick up another rack jic.

I have multi sets with slightly different breakdown, but commonly I have 2 racks of $5 with a couple set having 4 racks of $5.

So I will vote 2 racks

 

[CraigT78]

4 racks minimum. 6-8 preferred.

Do you get all the fracs and 1s into play?

 

[pokerplayingpisces]

2 is the minimum. 3 is preferred, but of course moar! is better!!

I failed to read the actual question. We play $1/$1 because fracs suck. We get all 6 racks in play.

Self dealt or dedicated dealer?

Self delt - circus.

Usually 1 bleeding into two by the end of the night. Small game with friendly players. I think I'm going to start trying to get more $1s into play.

Only one rack of $5's. But, it is a $2/$4 limit game - circus. We do our best to make do with dollar chips.

Our pots and games got bigger when we introduced circus games. Small learning curve but after they learned the games everyone said NLHE was so boring in comparison. It leads to stacks like the following

My cash set is fairly new so not yet.

I said 3, though it’s usually more like 2. But now that I think about it, we’re usually 7 handed. So if 9 is standard, I’m a solid 3. Prorated.

For limit games we have dedicated limit sets. Ultra luxury . This should be enough 2s.

I've played with Craig. Can confirm "Pot!" is his favorite word.

Followed closely by my second favorite word - SCOOP!!

Third favorite? Fuck, rebuy!!!

 

[quintooo]

3 is my minimum, prefer 4.

 

[TheBigTater]

.25/.50 is 4 racks of $5s.

Best breakdown is (100/200/400/80/20)

Weren't you only stuck $600 once you built this stack?

I was in for $5 sir.

Maximum 1. We use mountains of $1s as workhorse chips for 25c/50c

I'm convinced mountains of $1's would also work, since Hustler seems to like running $25/50 with mountains of $100's.

My breakdown for our regular 2 table game (depending on which set I use) is usually 200/300/300/80/20. Sometimes I only use 100 quarters, but usually 300 1s and 300 5s. We get all of the 1s and 5s in play and usually about half of the quarters. Occasionally we get into the hundreds, but usually only a few out there. Even though we play a .25/.50 game, it is not uncommon to see $30-$50 raises. The 25s get used pretty regularly after the first hour or 2.
