So I had a very interesting conversation with my out of state sister-in-law last night. She's a card player, sometimes a poker player with her girlfriends. I mentioned my CPC order and out of the blue she said that she's been looking at the idea of getting some custom chips made for her gang but not really sure where to start. At this point she doesn't know if she wants ceramic or clay so I'll help her with that. She also wants me to help with the design so yay, I get to have two cash projects running simultaneously. ![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
My problem is figuring out how much she needs. Here are the facts as I know them:
1. Normally up to 10 players but every now and then spouses and significant others come which would bump it to 17. Let's say 20 for round numbers.
2. Exclusively cash games, normally $10-$20 buyin. Rebuys are allowed but nobody ever spends more than $40 a night - very rarely does anybody do more than one rebuy
3. Games are dealer's choice - sometimes there's blinds other times there's antes
4. In general folks like to be able to play for about three hours
My preliminary recommendation is:
.25c x 200
$1 x 400
$5 x 200
$25 x 60
Assuming 20 people and if the average person buys in $30 that means the pot is $600. This count would have $450 between quarters and 1s plus $1000 on 5s.
I'm thinking of suggesting a single rack of nickels in case they want to go microstakes. They like to play blackjack and other tables games sometimes too (not in the same night as poker) so I'm going to include 40 x $2.50 chips (because what girl doesn't like special pink chips?)
Any ideas? If this were a more traditional tournament or cash game structure (e.g. higher stakes, limit v NL) I'd feel a lot more comfortable. I've searched up and down PCF and can't find anyone with this exact situation but I cobbled together my first cut based on the wealth of good advice I did come across.
