Re: \"Low Stakes Poker\"

I'm having pokerchips.com make me a custom set of poker chips similar to the ones from the South Point hotel and casino and the ones that are used in High Stakes Poker season 3. We want to make our game a 1/1000th replica of the game and play with stacks that are equally deep.
So basically the game will play as a .30/.60 game with a .10 ante. Now that sounds pretty small and for someone that's used to playing 1/2nl and 2/5nl it is pretty small. But honestly it's all about the stack sizes... if each player has between 100-300 behind (or 1k if you want to be brad booth) so the game will play pretty deep.

Why don't you just expand the chip values? Play a 10x game or 100x game. Buy in is $10, chip value is $100 or 1000. When you cash out, divide down to get the actual cash value. (make up a strict rule about how rounding is going to occur, so no arguments)

However, my problem is, we want to incorporate mixed games into the fun. We all deal stud, stud8, omaha, omaha8... might as well get them in.
When do we change games? Blah...

What's stopping you? Change the game after 2-3 rotations, per game. That gives you a chance to get into the flow of each game.
Have the dealer ante, rather than making everyone do it, during stud games.
If you have more than 8 players seated, deal out the players to either side of the button during the stud rotations. Get some cheap black lammers to denote this.
That's all I can think of right now

FWIW, we're definitely going to have bricks of $1 bills on teh table.

Even with the bricks, you could still do expanded chips. You'd have to label the bricks with the "fake" value and make sure no one breaks them up.
