Controversial Chip & Poker Opinions (54 Viewers)

Big stacks are fine, I just like the win mine, not buy them.

That’s perfect. It really drives home the point of how completely unnecessary and unneeded that many fives are. Just looks silly

Can't have one without the other

Happy to oblige

Yeah! That’s what I’m talkin’ aboot

 

[MatB]

TBH I should have read the thread. I was just posting for @JeepologyOffroad

Can’t take anything too seriously. Want less fives ? Ask to color up.
Want more fives ? Hoard
Decent set should have 500 to 1200 $5s.

I SAID. MOARRRRRRE FIVVVVVEEES!

Maybe I just like stacking high quality THC chips because they don’t fall over.

This. I have sets with 3 racks myself but man 5+ is so much nicer depending on the game

 

[DirtyTIVA]

Several of my 1/1 - 5/5 sets only have 200 fives. Really, what is this obsession with the fives that we have?

Operant conditioning. The times when I have nothing to take a pic of besides felt just don’t leave me with the same kind of memory...

It’s because @quintooo and @Godzilla28 try to knock that over that it keeps getting bigger. Sometimes. Other times Herman stacks my blaze NL $500s.

Joking aside, I have found 3-5 racks of 5s to be the sweet spot in a self dealt game. A set with less than 3 racks of 5s doesn't feel complete for me. More than 6 and I feel like I'm hoarding.

Yes!! Come and take my chips.. if you can.

@MatB and @bergs post your stacks of $5s pics and shut this argument down

.... The disrespect..... From someone else I expect it, but @JeepologyOffroad ??!

 

[Tonysquander]

Sure you can. Just gotta send home enough players as you watch your stacks grow. Much more fulfilling than just buying them

 

[bergs]

Who wants fives we got fives who need fives HEY NOW GITCHA FIVES HEAHHH

Who doesn’t love looking out over vast stacks of workhorse chips?!?!

Follow me on Instagram at rhbergman12 for more pics of fives and Palomas. Occasionally, other denominations as well.

 

[SteveEH]

I know MOAR CHIPS is better, but I prefer a more colorful table with more denoms in play. If you want big stacks, go play limit. Sorry I'm not sorry

I did this with my Club 72 set - I only ordered 30 $1s per person to make sure my $5 denominations would see play.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

It’s in bad taste to post brag pics over and over

To give an example

And while we’re at it, how are fives somehow the workhorse chip regardless of stakes?

Playing .25/.50? You need 600+ $5s
Playing .50/1? You need 600+ $5s
Playing 1/2? You need 600+ $5s
Playing 2/5? You need 600+ $5s

Considering this post is followed by multiple pages of opinions on the correct number of 5s and hardly anyone even bothered to say what they’re playing, I think you nailed it. Is there some “standard” blind level I’m not aware of?

I’m over here just hoping to get handful of 5s on the table in my microstakes game!

Playing microstakes is a ton of fun. That being said, you need atleast 4 racks of 5s for 5cent/10cent. What if your game grows or a whale shows up!?!

That’s what I said when I got two barrels of $20s for .10/.25, lol.

Depends on how the games play (e.g. how your players play). I hosted a 25/50c game that played like 1/3 early and 2/5 late. Some of the meetups have had 1/1 games that played like 5/10 PL. I’ve sat at meetup tables where $1s were the workhorse chip for 25/50c.

Know your players and the stakes they’re comfortable with and get quantities appropriately - but forward plan your game too. Can’t go wrong with lots of $1s and $5s. MOAR IS BETTER.

Like these towers at @TheRealTeddyKGB 's game.

 

[Danbober]

Not OP, but I interpreted it is a security measure. If I create a custom chip set for high stakes I wouldn’t want the design easily available to copy…but…that means no phones/photos at the home games?

Or maybe it is just not wanting something unique to be copied and sold on Alibaba.

Just guessing here…

Apache Royals shuffle better than broken-in, leaded THCs

Paulson’s latest formula feels a lot like plastic.
