If you're a regular and know to color down when appropriate without holding up the game or expecting the dealer to do it out of the rack, then I can see how they'd be fine with it. It's more the fish for whom it's a problem, so I'm sure you can understand that we want them with as easily spendable chips as possible.

But consider this... While you may be fine with breaking big chips at good times to keep the game going, think of how others are viewing you in general. You may be giving fish ideas that they should convert all those fun to throw around chips into one solid never spend chunk. And if a fish does break one, his/her mood certainly changes away from happy and long-term profitable. You're helping those from whom you make money to implement a stop-loss. Are a few stacks of $5s really that much bother?
