It's tough but $4/8 is the lowest where I think it's beatable. Obv even better if you can find a time charge game.

There is no way there is a decent ratio of earn rate/variance though.

A soft 10/20 is the ultimate recreation game in my experience. Unfortunately those are rarer than I'd like.

What chip breakdown do I need for a 5/10 or 10/20 limit game? 18 racks of bluebirds, 2 racks of $25s and a couple barrels of hundos do it?

 

[Chicken Rob]

I like buying in for 2 racks in 10/20, so 2 racks for each player in the game, and as many hundos as the group would need to top up. 1-2 racks would seem plenty.

For the first year Parx was open, before the now rock solid $6/12 OE game got started, they had a $4/8 O8 game and I played it twice a week and had a win rate of around $12/hr. Horrible for a real "job" but fine in relation to the betting structure.

You'll have to play the $10/20 at Borgata. Not as loose as it should be but the players are truly horrid.

1.5BB/hour is a good win rate for sure.

What games does the Borgata spread at 10/20?

I was referring to the LHE game above but the O8 game is also pretty good. They occasionally spread Big O at that level as well.

So I'm ok for the initial buy-in at 10/20, but sorely lacking in the higher denoms (only two barrels of hundos). But for 5/10, it's a rack per player, right? So I'd definitely have plenty.

Standard limit buy-in is 25 big bets so 5/10 would be $250. Rob likes two racks at 10/20 but that's because he wants tons of chips in front of him.

You have plenty chips for a 10/20 game. Would be optimal to have a couple more barrels of hundos but not necessary by any means.

I have to pry it from my wife's hands though. She likes to use it as well.

Forgot to share this last week while at the borgata!

The wynning continues.

In for $500 out for $2350. Just a friendly 1/3 game.

I'd rather play 10/20 in a casino or raked under ground game, and 5/10 or 4/8 or even 3/6 in an unraked game with friends. You should be good for 5/10 for sure.

Jack - the 6/12 OE is super-solid now?

2 tables every day, 3 on weekends, most days running reasonably late. Must move is always good. Main is 50/50 good or meh.

Last stack shot from Vegas. Boarding the plane now to return to the real world

I don't have anything to stack up with Dan Bilzerian's most recent Instagram hijinx, but I'll take a nice tidy stack of PNY's after some 1/2 action on one of the sweetest custom tables ever.

Nice stack, good to book a win. But I wish you had let me take a lint roller to that little area before snapping that pic...

guess i'll have to start taking pics again now that we're start this thread up, i guess. scrolling back in my phone, though, here's one from a while ago. gotta rep the Borgata bud jones beauties. also, there's one from Harrah's AC before they pulled the CiC redbirds. i loved those chipes. and parx, which i guess is my now-former second home since i no longer work close enough to make regular visits.

Those are some dirty chips

Unfortunately Parx is quickly becoming the Taj of PA when it comes to chip cleanliness. The $2 chips in particular have a tendency to congeal together.

1/2/plaque in untamed New Hampshire.

1/2/shoe at Horseshoe Southern Indiana.

1/1/DCS at propane HQ.

Tourney run at bbbbotbbb3.

Dunes cash stack at bbbbotbbb3.

1/3/bellagio.

1/3/caesars.

Too long ago.

The Bellagio's chips are my personal favourite.

Indeed. If I owned a casino, I would make sure that the chips were squeaky clean.

 

[bogart]

Finally able to post something here again. It's been forever. If I were to have posted pics at all this year, it would be of plain green felt.

I have Bud Jones Harrah's $5 from reno, it takes pride of place as my card capper. It was my first Las Vegas Chip.

Tonights 15k tournament.

Sorry for the not so great picture. The lighting was not the greatest for pictures. The blue 100's and blurple 500's kind of meshed.View attachment 48541

Those sexy 100's!

 

[goldmac]

I'm 96.6% sure it's chocolate.

In my opinions, Terrible's 50cs are some of the best looking, most vibrant chips.
