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

Then you are effectively playing $1/2. So again I ask, why do you need 50c chips???

Because I like chips. And wanted a frac. So frac off

When playing with quarters I will almost always bet something like $37.75

100%. People focus on why I would include the 3 quarters instead of the fact that I'm betting after having folded the previous street. All smoke n mirrors.

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

I understand completely. But sometimes the dirty jobs have to be done.

An unpopular opinion? Denoms look kinda ugly on poker chips...

I’ve only seen one example IRL but restamped chips are not a great thing to me.

They look so messy when all our alternative methods for recycling chips have such a professional end result.

Curious how controversial this is because I think there may actually only be a minority who support/appreciate them but I’m just not sold that it should become a common option

Agree to disagree

Sometimes I think the “efficient number of chips” and too many fracs people don’t like chips.

Most of the time they are nits. Poker chip nits

I must be a poker chip nit. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a set with 1,000 chips.

That's just disappointing. When my 5c/10c game grows to $1/2 you're gonna feel like an idiot.

one day...

Yup; pretty sure that day comes when I finish the higher ed lol. Then we're dealing with salaries not stipends, it makes it easier to run a game without nickels.

I'm just waiting for the day I can play limit and make the chips worth more than 10¢ What do you mean you don't love some riveting 40¢/80¢ action?

At least I can get lots of chips on the table even if the buy-ins are miniscule

 

[BPTDirector]

I’ll go for a double - I like non denominated chips and four color decks. There I said it. My first two custom sets are both non denominated and I’ve never had a problem with people knowing what values they represent.

If you don't play limit, and don't insist on 4 barrels of $5s per player this seems reasonable to me. Although I'm not sure if only needing 1~2 barrels of $5s is 'reasonable' according to this forum...

Folding poker tables and using dice chips should go hand in hand. Expensive poker chips should never be allowed to be used on a folding table. Add that only paper playing cards should be used on a folding table.

Heyyyyy go easy on my paper playing cards.

Unmatched security!
