why are fracs 25c not 20c? (1 Viewer)

[dylanthepiguy2]

A lot of them microstake cash games okay are $20/100 big blind games. Easy to do 20c/20c blinds but with a 25c frac you have to be 80bb deep with a $20 note. Easy to scale up to a $40 or $60 buy in game with 20c/40c or 20c/60c blinds

Most sets are made for folks who don't have a 20-cent in their native currency.

0.10 and 0.50 (or 0.20 and 1) make perfect sense for European denoms.

I am American and don’t know wtf kind of coin this is, basically.

 

[DrunkleWade]

The modern iteration of poker is borne out of the US who happen to use quarters. Makes sense to make the frac 25c.

It’s a little bit alien to anyone who use a 20 cent (or pence) piece. But that’s the beauty of a custom set; make the denoms whatever you like.

For native country that don't have 25c. Casual Stake below a dollar like 10/20c, 50/50c, 50/$1 are more common.

You can always do what you want / prefer for your own local home game. No need to just follow the norm.

This is a custom set that I did for my Family casual stake with 10c 50c $2 $10 denominations.

oh my god that looks beautiful @LeLe! I love how there's a $2, that makes a lot of sense!

who made those chips? they look slick

I would suggest considering resale, easier to resell a set when more people will use the denomination of the label

The most exciting aspect of this thread is a 1/5 chip denomination

$2 and $10 is common Currency notes around here so the set denomination will make more sense here compared to said US

& Thanks

They are designed by @TheOffalo

It not custom chips done by Paulson, these chips are Clay chips produced by Paulson

They are firstly milled and relabel after that.

You can search relabel which is very common practice here to get certain denom / set.

For example, I used Sycuan $2 and turned them into Fracs for my HSC set.
