Default Re: 1/2 NL buy in? Which chips?

Never understood why unusual denom cheques are even used at all in poker. $1, $5, $25, $100 (etc.) is all you need. No point in $2 or $10 (much less $3) denominations. They confuse players and a lot of dealers, and there usually isn't that much benefit (do you have a problem throwing out two $1 cheques to post a blind?).

You need $2 for $6-$12 and $8-$16. You need $3 for $9-$18 and $12=$24. You need $10 for $30-$60 and $40-$80. Limit hold'em should be played with a single colored chip on the table (the games are often referred to by the colot of chip they are played with). I know there are some places putting $3 chips on NL tables, I would not do that as it seems like it would create confusion as the bet sizes vary.

This is certainly not true in AC. Every limit game below the pink chip game (7.5-15) is played with a combination of red and white. Even in 2-4 players seem to have as much red in their stacks as white.

Of course, $2 and $3 chips are nonexistant in AC. AFAIK, they are not permitted by Casino Control.
