Np, how your gang feedback on the Non-Denom Chips ?

They liked them. And since we only used 2 denominations it was really easy to understand. 10p red, £1 black

Love these! Are there other demons?

Yep - there are 5’s - but no 500’s that I know of.

Edit: Or did you mean the show em chip? Those are all non-denominated.

He just likes to piss it away but for part of the night on a lot of nights he runs good like crazy and it’s nauseating. Last week he was punting away and we eventually had to pump the brakes on his rebuys.

This guy needs to try out some tournaments. He'd learn very quickly that it doesn't go well when you play like that, LOL. Up his game. But hurt your earnings.

I ended up in the money. But the season is getting heated as we only have two games remaining. Santeria voodoo was cast and the emotions were getting high.

I'm sure I've said this on your other thread, but god DAMN, those colors are so sexy.

First felting (by me anyway) for the Bourbon Street hot stamps (with show em chip).

I feed dumb, but what do you do with a show em chip? I mean I understand the (.)(.) on there but how does that relate to poker? (P.S. love the chips)

The way we use it is you only get one per game and if you throw it in, the person you were against (generally heads up) must show their hand after the hand is over.

Exactly this... except you only get one per night.

Our crew loves em. I think it has also promoted better play. "I know I should probably fold this 9-4 off suit but I kinda want to see what he had..." This way they can make the 'right' play and confirm they did the right thing.

Yea that's what I meant, only one per player without a way to get more.

Arguably it may reduce some action as they have one out to not call to see the cards, but I think it may only affect marginally sized pots and not the huge ones.

What's the convention? The only thing that seems semi-standard to me is, yellow == 1K. And they don't even have a yellow on here.

I don't think anyone answered your question. On tournament chips I've always considered the "standard" colors to be 25 = green, 100 = black, 500 = purple and 1000 = yellow. Then if going higher, orange = 5000. With a set like these guys are using, colors used may be somewhat constrained by the numbers of chips available. And the weird use of a T50 chip. Maybe he doesn't have enough of any particular color to support T25, thus he tosses in the T50s.

If I had only these 5 colors and was forced to use these denominations, and had enough of each chip to do whatever, I'd switch the green to T25, the black to T100, the blue to T500 and the orange to T1000. Leaving the red at T50.

Yeah I've incorporated those into my tournaments and they are overall a hit.

My rules go, every player starts with 1. You can only play it heads-up when you fold. We are pretty flexible on the rules, as in, the safest way is to play it, then fold. But if you fold, then play it, and the other guy hasn't mucked, it stands. Up to you if you want to be a hardass on that rule.

We also go with, if you bust someone who hasn't used their show 'em yet, you get their show 'em.

When it's played, since it's a one-and-done, I just pocket the chip to take it out of play.

I don't have official show 'em chips yet, so what I've been doing is using the seat draw token as the show 'em. You come in, grab a seat draw token randomly, then when the tournament starts everyone turns in 1 of the seat draw tokens (I use 2 per seat - one at the seat, one drawn randomly). And the 2nd seat draw token that's not turned in when the tournament starts becomes the show 'em.

Red can make a great T5000 too. I don't mind the colours as much as that T50 denom.

I tried a tourney with a T50 once (Kash ceramic) and it waa horrible.

I agree completely. I was just saying that if I was FORCED to use the denoms in the previous post, then that would be how I would arrange the colors. Another really good option with those colors is a T5 base tournament. Then just kick the reds down to the 5s. But yeah, almost anything is better than using T50s unless you are just drastically short on T25s.
