Post mockups for fun/science? (7 Viewers)

AT the moment I don't see myself having another CPC cash set in me unless it is a small 1/4 Pie based set.

But here are a couple colorful inexpensive lineups that can be turned into cash sets for average around $2.50-$2.75/chip.

They look great! But consider making some denom adjustments for efficiency. You don’t need both a 25c and a 50c and also not both a $5 and a $10. The yellow would make for a great $20 for instance

i could actually need some help in the breakdown.
it would be 1000chips meant for CG 25/50

I see people say that all the time. For me, it’s about getting more chips and colors in the table. 99% of people on here don’t “need” anything other than dice chips, let alone customs that cost thousands of dollars. The more chips on the table the merrier!

Sure, get 25c, 50c, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 in play and make every bet look like the rainbow if that’s your thing. Just don’t come crying to me when you’re sick of trying to estimate stack sizes and count stacks at all-ins or cashouts :)
 
Can anyone give me some feedback on this design? .25, 1, 5, 25, 100, 1000 are the denoms. I still need to add a 500 chip and i feel like the 100 chip is out of place.

Too much reuse of colors imo. Peacock and saturn. Also, the latter is usually not a great base color (very strange color in person).

I wouldn’t mix 3D14 with 3V12, I feel it’s one or the other style. I prefer 3TA316 to 3TA181418 although one can’t complete the former with a 4TA… much more important is what you prefer though

Put inlays in there, even if it’s just the blank white/black ones. Makes it easier to visualize. Unless you’re hot stamping of course

Is it REALLY that difficult?? Our group consists of a bunch of old timers that are half colorblind and too blind to see the denominations on the chips. We rarely ever have all the dirty stack issues that are often talked about, and we sure don’t have a problem counting stacks. How is it possible for these guys to count these stacks??? So many different colors and denominations in there. They obviously have no idea what they’re doing…

Well that’s 100/500/1k/5k/25k so it does follow the usual logic. 500s and 1ks do break the 4-5x rule but that’s a long time standard way of doing it.

Maybe you have a table full of these

but I prefer to keep it reasonably simple. It’s not just that it makes it easier. A typical cashset consists of 600-1000 chips. If you’re getting 4-5 different chips that all are denominated 4-5 x the previous one, you’re able to build a bigger bank than if you’re just 2 x-ing. But to each their own of course. I don’t really care how many denoms people have in play. Do what you like, but as general advice to someone building a set I do think the 4-5x model is better.

I struggle so much with denoms. I guess your point is why most sets I look at don't have 25c and 50c chips. But then - what's the best way to run 25c/50c blinds in a cash game?

Can someone please point me out to somewhere I can learn about what this mockup template is and how/where it's used? Will continue to look around. Cheers!

Found it! Nevermiiiind. Wonder if I can send these in for the Custom mockups at Jack's Poker Australia
 
ok I suppose that makes sense. Alot of quarters then. I was watching a youtuber (Christopher M.) explain about starting stacks. He says for a 10 person max cash game 25c/50c blinds, $50 buy-ins, that you need only 200 x 25c denoms (and 200 x $1, 200 x $5, 20 x $25). Is 200 quarters enough? That's a stack of 20 per player - then what? When someone rebuys or runs out of chips for blinds, they get change from other players? Sure I'm in the wrong spot for this type of discussion, might try to find the right thread
 
Most of us have to limit our sets to a set number of total chips.

Let’s say your set has 100 x 25c chips. That’s $25 towards total bank. Adding 100 x 50c chips is unnecessary, as they have the same function as the 25c chips (for posting blinds) and it only adds another $50 to the bank. Using those 100 chips on bigger denoms allows for a bigger bank with the same amount of chips, and makes the game run more efficient with less denoms in play.

Typically, 100 quarters is enough for a full table of .25/.50. Most bets at those stakes will be done with $1 and $5 chips. However, if your group plays small, with lots of limping, you may want more quarters, but I wouldn't do more than 140 or 160 blind chips. 200 quarters is fine, but seems like a waste of chipping dollars. Once everyone gets used to making change, it's not an issue.

What I would do in my game is give the first 5 players 20 quarters, 20 1's, and 5 5's for $50. Later buyins and rebuys are be done with 1's and 5's till all the 1's are gone, then 5's. Bring the $25's in only if necessary. And then just exchange for some quarters at the table.

I'm starting to realise the cash games in my group are very different to most. Super casual players, fish even. Plenty of limping in, everyone likes to have a starting stack full of chips. Now it makes sense why I always need the more of the lower denoms for cash games. My cash set is at 1000 chips at the moment. lowest denom is 50c but I have 4 racks, and 2 racks of $1.

Nothing wrong with that. Sounds like it's more about the camaraderie and fun than about GTO poker. You can certainly make a case for having "too many" fracs. (Hint: there's no such thing as too many poker chips. :D )
