Dealer button, what size? (1 Viewer)

[mummel]

I found this one on Amazon, 3 inches. Good size? Anyone use this one?

save your money. So many opportunities for nice dealer buttons offered here, and in the mean time, just use some crappy white puck until a better opportunity arises. To be honest, I love dealer buttons, but I rarely use them in games. Unless you're using a dedicated dealer, they just seem to get in the way/forgotten about.

Just my 2cents.

Cant recall if you have Majestics? Do you like the Majestic button?

I have one of those, it works fine, but I think it's a little too big.

I've been telling my wife three inches is good size for years.

 

[Hot Nuts]

some women like it that wide

I don't think @Mr Tree was talking about width

 

[Mr Tree]

I was talking about the circumference of a dealer button. My wife and I often have in depth conversations about poker paraphernalia. What did you guys think I was talking about??? [emoji38]

The standard plain-jane dealer puck is usually 2". I prefer the 60mm DB's which is about 2 1/3". I've seen those 3" DB's before and they seem a little too big.

You can get the standard 2" pucks for 50c-60c apiece on eBay.

You should know that a 3 inch circumference dealer button is exactly the size of a quarter.

So if you're wife is actually satisfied with a quarter sized dealer button, who am I to judge

The majestic puck is 60mm. This one is 3 inches. Was just curious what size is optimal when laid on the table

I was told size doesn't matter. I also believe I was lied to.

It's all in how you use it.

Poorly, from what I've been told. And in this case, I don't believe I was being lied to.

Same person also said I have way too many poker chips, so I think we can all agree she doesn't know what she's talking about.

This was obviously a toxic woman and you are better off without her in your life.

Well, she did allow/encourage me to go to three meetups and Vegas over a 10 week period, so it's not all bad.

How big do you like your puck to be?

 

[Mr Tree]

My wife loves a big puck.

 

[Jeff]

It is the same size puck as an on/off puck on a craps table. Too big for a dealer button IMO. Buy some of the really cool button sample designs that come up for sale.

Does she prefer the rubber o rings around your puck or just go for the straight edge?

Straight edge easy

Does a 3 inch puck get in the way of the flop?

 

[Blaster]

Does a 3 inch puck get in the way of the flop?

Only on a 6 inch wide table, otherwise no.

 

[mummel]

Back on point haha. Do those rubber o rings stop the puck sliding?

No, the rubber o-rings are just on the side and frankly are there pretty much for decoration.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice puck and it didn't present any issues when using it during our game. It was certainly very visible. I just found it to be a little larger than it needed to be to serve the purpose of a dealer button.
