Default retardo question: black or green chips for 100/200?

In small stakes, there's a principle (a slightly stupid one if you ask me), that two chip games (10/20) tend to be tighter and not as soft as their three or four chip alternatives (15/30 and 20/40). Based on this principle, one chip games should be even worse, so the question: is 100/200 live a one (black) chip game, or is it a four (green) chip game?

Didn't the Bellagio 1/2 used to be a black chip game a while ago (~ year 2000), or was I looking at a different game back then?

Interesting that you mention it.
I dk if 100-200 is a 1 chip game but I know of something called the "physical size of the pot". A visually big pot contributes to looser play.

One of the loosest games I've heard of (it's know for its looseness) is the pink chip game at AC. It's a 7.50/15 game played with pink $2.5 chips.

Doesn't it have to be a green chip game so the small blind can be posted?

You've obviously never been in the 5/10 game where people play with red chips so the dealer has to constantly make change when the sb folds.

Sorry to bring this insultingly low limit point up but it's as high as they spread sometimes here and it is ridiculously frustrating for a variety of reasons.

No. Just because there is a green chip or two on the table doesnt mean the players arent playing with primarily black chips, thus, its a one chip game and not a four chip game.

Just buy all the black chips in the casino and put them in your car until you leave.
