Hello from Walla Walla! First Chip Set Questions.... (1 Viewer)

[Neo]

Looking to get a 300 piece Tiki Kings set.....for my family and I (4 total)...my daughter and wife really like these chips...I was only a fan after I felt them in person.

What are your recommendations for poker chip ratio breakdowns for 5 Card Draw poker games with a $1 ante and blackjack games?

I was thinking of going with the $1,$5,$25,$100 in a 3:4:2:1 ratio....Tikiiiiiiis

So that would be 75:100:50:25....then the rest of the 50 I am open to suggestions....maybe another denomination....maybe more chips in one of the already chosen denominations?

Posting a photo of my sample I got today....these feel really good in person....glad I ordered a sample...as suggested from Hobbyphilic.

Welcome to PCF,

A 300 chip breakdown of

$1 x 100
$5 x 100
$25 x 80
$100 x 20

will serve you well up to 6 handed

If you can afford more budget, another $5 x 100 will be recommend

Welcome to PCF! I don’t play blackjack or draw but for holdem I’d suggest something like this

1 - 120
5 - 120
25 - 40
100 - 20

Take it with a grain of salt. Not sure it translates well.

Edit: @LeLe ’s looks very good too

Welcome!!! Looks like you are on the line to a setup that you'll like and will suit your game well. I always over-buy my sets (customs and otherwise) and will recommend you pay more heed to the advice others give, but for the little overflow you are trying to account for, definitely more $5s. @LeLe 's suggestion with the extra rack of $5s should make a nice "now and well into the future" set. (That is until you get bitten by the bug and buy a second set just because, a tournament set from a great Chiproom sale, and so on! ).

Enjoy your time here!!


And just because I'm a big animation history freak, I can't help but think of this whenever I see or hear Walla Walla, Washington!!

Hello and welcome!

What you need for blackjack depends on what your minimum bet is and what your blackjack payout ratio is.

For example, if you have minimum bet of $5 (and multiples) and you pay out 3:2 on blackjack, then you will need $2.50 chips or some combination of $1 and fracs ($0.50 or $0.25) to pay out. If you pay out 6:5 (blech!) then you can get away without fracs.

Thanks for the break down. I'll keep another $5 x 100 in the back of my mind.

That one is pretty good. I go to three rivers for their Riesling
