I’ve been looking around the forum recently and seeing limit sets that are racks and racks of ones, and then a rack or two of twenties. I’m not a limit player so could someone explain why limit sets are built like that? Sorry for the dumb question.
Yes, it mostly has to do with how bets are structured in limit.
Most limit sets are mostly comprised of a "workhorse" chip and a "value" chip.
Let's say you play 2/4, then the blinds are 1 and 2 and all bets pre and on the flop are in increments of 2 and all turn and river bets are in increments of 4.
So you mostly play with one particular chip, the "workhorse" chip. And when people rebuy, you can do the rebuys easier with the "value" chip, such as a $20 or $25.
