Small Cash game chip denomination question
I have a small $5.00 buyin cash game. Max 8 people.
You can buy-in for $5.00 - $10.00 at a time. I had my first game last night. I have 5 different colors of chips, and thousands of chips. I decided to make the blinds .05 for both SB and BB (as opposed to .05/.10). For chip values: .05, 10 .10, 10 .25, 10 .50 02 Thoughts? |

I thinking maybe it would be easier to just have:
.05 - 20 chips .10 - 20 chips .25 - 8 chips |

I like your second idea much better. The fewer chip denominations on the table the better, IMO.

Re: Small Cash game chip denomination question
I don't think the .10 denom chip is very useful.
I'd go with the following stacks for a $10 buy-in (remove blacks for a $5 buy-in): Red .05 x 20 Green .25 x 16 Black 1.00 x 5 |

Re: Small Cash game chip denomination question
if people are rebuying a lot then you can always take a quick break to color up into some 1 dollar chips later on in the game if you don't want them at the table in the beginning

If you have a full table you need quite a few chips and there are plenty of low value chips to make change with during the game between players. I personally hate a ton of lowest value chips in play. |

Re: Small Cash game chip denomination question
As a general rule of thumb, you want no more than three primary, and perhaps an oversize chip for the huge stacks. You also don't want to have a chip be merely double another value, 4 or 5x is preferred.
I break this rule in tourneys, as we have a 500 and 1k chip, but for the blind structures, this makes sense. For cash game, it's quarters, dollars, fives, and twenties. No hunnies, cuz damn, I don't want to misplace one of those. |

Re: Small Cash game chip denomination question
I assume this is NL. I'd eliminate the .10 chip. Nickels, quarters and dollars, even if you decide on .05/.10 blinds

I'm close to Khabbi:
Red .05 x 15 Green .25 x 13 White 1.00 x 6 |

Re: Small Cash game chip denomination question
Didn't think I would receive so many insightful replies so quickly.
Thanks for all the ideas. I definetly agree with what the majority of you are saying. Having so many smaller chips that are really close in value is rather pointless. Pfapfap, definetly agree 4x-5x in difference between chip denominations makes a lot more sense. I am leaning towards khabbi and pantsonfire's ideas. I will check with the guys to see what they find preferable. Thanks again |
