Thoughts on 12.5c chip (1 Viewer)

What's everybody's thought on 12 1/2 cent chips?

They would used exclusively for Antes in a 50c/$1 limit mixed game I plan to assemble. They would replace nickles or dimes otherwise slated for the purpose.

Cool & efficient idea?
Or just too weird?

A/K/A the one bit chip

I’d do dimes, or even better, a button ante.

 

[Papasatyr]

Don't care much for a button ante. There's something pure and functional about antes with a proper, half-sized-bet bring-in.

Maybe use 4pi? It’s irrational

I have never thought of a 12.5 cent chip.

The subject pops up every now and again.

There are some threads, and even some sets, with non-standard denominations.

I recall seeing mention/discussion of a one-bit chip either here or on the blue wall.

It looks like BG posted an example of 12.5-cent chip in post #35. So it has been done.

Most games round to the nearest nickel or dime, but if you like it and it works for your game then why not.

I imagine people would generally be more perplexed by a 12.5-cent chip than they would be bothered by a non-2/1 blind or ante ratio.

Not a fan. Just do dimes or a btn ante

Fun to cash out at the end of the night, too!

Ryder8 at HPT wanted to do a $1.75 chip because of how often the open was 3.5xBB in a 25¢/50¢ game.

My buddy Jim always bets $1.75 at our .25/.50 game

Sometimes I run a very low limit game - especially to introduce new variants / HORSE to the group.

Limit 20c - 50c
Flop games : blinds 10c - 20c
Stud games : bring-in 10c and table ante of 20c

Limit 50c - €1
Flop games : blinds 20c - 50c
Stud games : bring-in 20c and table ante of 50c

I run mixed .50/1 myself. I either use a 10c ante and 20c bring in, or just do a button ante and 25c bring in when we don't want the hassle of an extra chip.
