I think the Greek mold has to be the ugliest, currently widely, available mold

Have you met the cards mold?

Or the Scrown mold (never mind the Frown mold)

Don’t know if this is controversial or not, but IMO the web mold looks so much better than THC/RHC.

Why, teach the kid to be a chipper . Teach the kid to be a player. In-laws are great for the game. Right @merkong?

Indeed. My SIL banks my game. He knows better than to screw it up. Lol

Can you over label or murder and relabel a chip and still call it mint? NO NO NO!

But...BEYOND mint....

Same here, just a "Boo"

I will join you for a double “Boo”

A barrel each, or total for the table?

You joke, but I bet you could play 5 or maybe even 6-handed .50/$1 just fine with a single barrel of fracs.

If we’re going this far, a group could play fine with pen and paper too!

Controversial chip opinion….Only full custom chips are interesting …..

50¢, easily. I only put out 40 for a full ring and it's more than enough. Quarters is tight, but doable if your players don't use it after the first betting round.

Of course. Cut the paper into one barrel of fracs and label with the pen.

Thought this thread needed goosing.

I did a quick search and I didn’t see this stated explicitly, so I will do so now. For most of us low stakes pikers a barrel of fracs is the right amount no matter what you efficiency nazis or clean table top fascists say.

But…..

This is why 50c/$1 is the nuts.

Literally one single frac in the pot per hand.

So simple. Much smooth. All yes.

 

[Chanceman]

I ain't there yet. My eldest daughter just got asked to her first dance.... and she said "yes".

I am doomed.

Need to figure out how to scare this kid off and convince my daughter she's not allowed to date until she's 43.

I asked a psychologist once. Anytime a boy comes within 5 feet you squeeze her to suggest protection from the evil.

Nah. You'll still see opening bets of $2.50, $3.50 and even the occasional $4.50 and $5.50.

Put some damn chips on the table and let people bet whatever they want to.

50 cent chips should be outlawed. 25 cent chips are far more flexible.

YES!!!
.50/$1 should be outlawed too! Just play $1/1 and save the fracs for a quarters game.

 

[springbox]

I don't get 50c/$1 either.

Why not play $1/$1? Rather than using the minimum number of fracs, just cut them out entirely.

This is the way! And probably why I don't own a single 50 cent chip, other than a couple of sample sets.

Not true for nickels I've found. After the flop, no one's betting in increments of 5c. It's kind of a joke, I mainly bet with nickels just to get more chips in the middle. Unfortunately I explained oversized chip calling to my group and it doesn't work so well anymore.

I'm all for barrels of quarters though.

I would rather give myself 50 paper cuts and then dip them in a lemon juice / bleach mixture than spend time relabeling chips.

Yup, cheap beginner game? Everyone gets a barrel of nickels, and gets paralyzed with fear when they realize they need to make change. Looking to me with horrified doe eyes, knowing they don't have the correct change to limp like they have for an hour straight.

Ayo, you gotta unpack this; why is it such a miserable experience?!

I’m with you on this one. Looks like such a PITA and often instantly devalues the chips.

Relabeling is easy. It's the inlay removal that sucks

Getting fit is easy, it’s the exercising and dieting that’s hard!

No but seriously. Applying labels is a walk in the park in comparison.

What kind of weirdo ass limpy game is that? We open at $5-$8…. Sometimes $20
