I will argue to the death with anybody who thinks you need more than 4 denoms for a single table tournament.

Challenge accepted.

But...but...MOAR

On the 1-2 set, just make sure it's worth it to you to pay a high premium for that rack of $2. If my math is correct, you are paying @ $3.15 each for them in that set vs. buying the others separately. I love those $2 chips too, but they are expensive. I would assume that there are not many of them available, so be ready with a backup plan if that 1-2 set sells out so you get those bargain chips that you really need for your game. Good luck, these sales are fun!

Yeah I was thinking that. I did the math and I'm going to get 200 single ones cleaned 300 single reds cleaned 75-25s and 25/100s

What if you’re running 2,000 man tournaments in your moms basement? Whatcha gonna do then? Have each player at the final table sitting with thousands of chips in front of them? Be realistic.

AND, twos are kind of stupid. Theyre good for a limit set if you've got a buttload of them, and they're good to relabel as fracs in youre into that sort of thing, but using them as $2s in a cash set with $1s and $5s is not a standard move.

how many people play in your game?

 

[KarateMaster72]

Anywhere between 6 and 10 for $1- $2 max buy in 300. And it rises respectively with any blind change i.e. $2 - 5 etc.

when you change to 2/5 does your buyin max stay at 300?

 

[KarateMaster72]

No it increases as well

 

[lewan]

No it increases as well

seems a bit complicated with the increase in blinds for making a set. changing from 1/2 to 2/5 isn't great when it comes to buying a set because you don't need a lot of 1s for 2/5 but you do for 1/2. you also need way more 25s for 2/5 than 1/2.

i would just make a great 1/2 set and maybe play with an optional straddle to $4 when you are playing with more players?

you could make a 1/2 set in 500 chips if you wanted to. do you keep your chips in racks or a case?

How much money on the table on the biggest night (most players and most reloads)?

I’m gonna say it again, even though nobody likes to hear it - you don’t need A LOT of $1s to play $1/2. Ever play 1/2 in a casino, and look around and see the average stack has like five $1s? Of course, they have a dealer who’s good with managing change, so go ahead and double that number if you want. But a single rack of $1s should be plenty sufficient for a home 1/2 game.

Its very similar to fracs in a .25/.50 game, and most people agree that youre fine with a single rack of those. If you like tall stacks of all denoms, that’s fine - buy lots of chips and put them on the table. But in terms of what you NEED, I don’t think you need a lot one ones for 1/2.

100% agree.

I like more chips because well, MOAR chips.

That said, I've spent alot of time playing casino $1/2, and the stacks are all $5s, a few $1s, and a few $25s if it has been a good session.

i like to go with 15 1s in a starting stack because i personally bet specific amounts. my friends are more of the bet 5, then 10, then 20 type. so in their case, i would give them 10. i like to give players stacks which i feel reflect their style of betting. if i was building a 1/2 set i would probably go with either 100 or 120 $1s.

Love it man! I like the $1s too. The cash sets that I have, all have 300+ $1s, 300+ $5s and I've even got a cash set with a rack of $25 and rack of $100. Oh...and I also have multiple sets with both $0.25 and $0.50 frac options. I even have multiple $25s to choose from.

That all said, I've never even hosted more than 6 men(or women) to play, and yet the sets I've built, really make me question my own sanity and intelligence. I've never even felted a $25 in any home game I've ever run!

i'm only 20 so we play 5c/10c, use the dollar values on chips as cent values, or penny values since we're english. low stakes still doesn't stop my love of chips but my wallet isn't a fan

1 Racks of $1 is definably enough for 1/2 game, however it quite common sometime people who play 1/2 will also play 1/1 or 2/2 so it advisable to buy 2 Racks of $1 if you can afford a bit more budget

It really depend on your Group, most of my friend like More Chip the better
