Cash Game When to put $20s in play (POLL) (1 Viewer)

[upNdown]

You have to put $20's in play right away ....... who wouldn't want a Dunes oversized $20 in their stack (y) :thumbsup:

Yes, I tend to get mine in much earlier than necessary, usually by request on rebuys. If none are requested, I'll usually just hand out fives until I've gotten a couple of racks out, unless somebody buys for more than $100. Of course, this is a .25/.50 game, so maybe irrelevant.

At times? How about the entire time? I loved it. I picked up a big hand 15 minutes in and new that if it held up I was getting paid..........and I did

Your players are maniacs, but a shit ton of fun to play with.

LOL!!!! Yes....shit is crazy. The key is hitting big early and hanging on for the ride. You did that well!!

It was AWESOME having you here!! Everybody really enjoyed playing with you!(y) :thumbsup:

400 minimum but prefer 500 or 600 $5’s on the table before I put $25 in play.

It is nice not having to have the Big Stack keep supplying small chips for rebuys. I want the Big Stack to look nd feel like a Big Stack!!!

I guess I'm in the minority but for a $100 buy in full table most of my sets have 200-250 5's. I usually start in on $25 chips after the 2nd rebuy and it seems to work out fine. IMO a stack of 4 25's is just as intimidating as 20 5's. I have never felt low on 5's.

We use the exact same format. Usually the first 2-3 rebuys are fives. After that, I move to the rebuy chips!

Personally I think 2-3 barrels per player is the "butter zone" for the workhorse chip unless you are trying to go casino deep stacks. So for an 8 handed game, that's 320-480. I voted 400.

Now if I had to vote on my current set, the answer would be 200.

I am in the 400 camp for a $1/$2 game. 200 seems really short if you are not using fracs for blinds.

In fairness my current set is geared for .25-.50 and maybe .50-1 in a pinch. I'm not sure I am willing to risk hosting any higher than that.

Well if the perfect set breakdown is 100/200/400/80/20, then I guess 400 x $5’s is the only answer...

Never I go with 25s. However my 1/2 game is usually full and most buy in for 200 so I give out stacks of 140 in red 10 in white and 50 in green. I don't usually go past 300 red and 100 white so all green after initial buyins and after a rack of green maybe a few sprinkled black chips.

Every Friday!! We play .50 / $1, but @detroitdad can attest to the fact that is plays more like a $2/ $5 at times.

Buy ins are minimum $20 maximum $200.

We generally have 12 to 18 players, and most people bring $20s, so easy to use $20 chips. These are my faves.

Where did you get those plaques?

Where did you get those plaques?

They are from a PCF group buy a few years ago. They are Matsui plaques, and are FAR superior in quality to every other plaque I have owned. They were pricey, $19 apiece, but well worth it. You're still going to pay $18 to $20 when/if they come up for sale. They also had $100 plaques made.

I'd say after 40-50 $20s/$25s are on the table.

Follow up question: when to put $100s into play?

When I have a couple big stacks at a table. I'll give the $100 buy ins a $100 chip or plaque and tell them to get change from the big stacks. We usually have $3k to $4k worth of chips in play by then. Depending on who shows up, that could be a couple hours in.

I was thinking after about a rack of $20s/$25s.
