Thanks, maybe I'll need more, who knows? Thank you for the offer though. I'll be in touchSorry I didn't see this earlier
I've got 30 of the 7/2 show'em chips you can have for the price of shipping... if you need just 10 that's cool too
When I used them I'd sell them for $1 or $5 (can't remember) contribution to the snack fund. Most folks contributed anyway
so they were almost free for most folks. Once used, they came out of the game.
I've also got 30 basic seating chips you can have as well as 20 WPS bounty chips
LMK what you want, if anything
Good points, and kind of what I'm hoping happens myself. I'm hoping it engages them a little more and gives them a sense of "oh yeah, he bluffed me in that spot, maybe I could do that next time".My group is a bunch of low-stake noobs (myself included). We do 1 chip per night... surrender when used. I found it improved the quality of play early on. Before the chip there was a bunch of 'sure... it's only a couple of bucks, I call'. Then, with the Showem chip, there's more 'I know I'm beat, I fold... ... but I want to confirm I made the right poker decision'. And now I think only a couple of chips get played per night. I can definitely see them phasing out. YMMV.
Looking for ideas on how to best implement such a chip...
Do you all just give everyone a show'em chip at the beginning of the night?
Do you sell them?
Does the money go to whoever has the chip at cash out?
Sounds very reasonable and an interesting approach. Thanks for your thoughts on thisI use Show'em chips in cash games, sell them for the cost of the big blind, sometimes 2x big blind. The money goes into the high hand jackpot for the night. It's a nice way to jumpstart the high hand payout, people can buy as many as they want throughout the night.
I don't like to use Show'em chips in tournaments or higher stakes games, people tend to take these games more seriously and forcing them to show their hand can lead to bad feelings
I have 10 bounty and show 'em chips coming from them. The ones I got are different. Thank you for the offer though I'm gonna see how I like the ones I'm getting before I go further I think. I have a nice barrel of spotted THC chips I might murder and turn into bounty chips. Still waiting to hear back from @Gear on a simple design I was tinkering with.I have 30 of these if you are interested. Also from abcView attachment 574942
