Mini poker chips?

[TrvChBoy]

It's on my Christmas wish list, thanks for the link.

For a really small, lightweight chip set, use a second deck of cards (pretend like they are those cool "plaques" you see on the European tourneys). The denominations on the cards can be useful in determining the value of the "plaques". Aces= $25, Face Cards = $5, all others = $1?

Damnit, I felt compelled to buy that mini chip set, as well as the Civil War era card design.

If anyone was interested in this, I decided it works especially well if you add 2 jokers in at $2 each. This breakdown gets you 2 $100 buy-ins for each deck and gives each player 27 "plaques" to play with. Of course if you want a $10 buy-in or $1000 buy-in just divide or multiply my suggested denominations. Of course for a a ten-handed table you would need 5! extra decks, but it could work, and it's better than playing Rummy 500.

Aces = $25, Face Cards = $5, Jokers = $2, All others = $1

Neat idea with the cards as chips, but please don't
ever imply those Euro-plaques are anything but
retarded.

I believe they're called "flags", and I like 'em. I wish they used those instead of bricks on HSP.

Offtopic: I already have a program for a TI-83/84 that does that for no limit games (assuming unlimited stack sizes) for up to 6 players. I can send it if you want, but you might have to work out some of the commands, since I haven't used it for ages and never wrote a manual.
PM me if you're interested, since I probably won't read this topic

I thought flags were the $5000 chips at the Bellagio, and plaques were the big Euro-chips.

I'm basing my use of the term on little more than some vague knowledge floating in the back of my rather tortured brain. If your source is more reliable, I'm willing to trust it.

Maybe they're both called flags. They're both for high denominations.
Plus, the plaques look like flags, so that would make sense. Usage of the word flag might stick even though casinos move to round chips....

Flags at the Bellagio are called that because of the color scheme (red, white, blue).
