Say I'm building a set to use in 3-chip/6-chip fixed limit games. How many chips can I expect the losers to go through in a night of such games?
I ask because I'm interested in putting a ton of chips on the table for the fun of having them there, but I'm not interested in having them be just for show. I could give everyone five racks of singles, but if nobody ever lost more than 200 of them, then I'd feel like the other three racks were just empty props instead of having any purpose for existence.
The answer also factors into considerations about how much of each player's bank should be in piles of singles versus in value chips (20s) or even prize chips (100s). I like the idea of giving everyone, say, at least one rack of singles and at least one hundo, with there being some prestige attached to winning enough chips that people have to cash in their hundos to you in order to get a playable stack of singles back. But if no one's ever going to lose enough to run out of singles (because it's limit, and a limit buy-in can last quite a while) then there's not really any purpose to having the hundos on the table in the first place.
Related question: does the answer change much if it's dealer's choice mixed games rather than just FLHE? What if it's not just mixed games, but kitchen table games?
Seeking guidance from those with experience. Thanks.
