Title: High Denomination Chips Post by: zerofive on August 04, 2011, 04:20:21 PM Yesterday I took the day off to deal the GSOP in Manchester with a few friends. The 20k starting stack comprised of 1x10k and 1x5k chips. Maybe a TD with a wealth of experience can give a few good reasons for this?
One argument for this was that it speeds the tournament up. I'm assuming this was a demonstration of irony. Almost every hand requires change from at least one player; this slows down the action, to standstill in some cases (not to mention how begrudgingly the change is offered.) The fish that want to limp call their chips off before the first break struggle to do so because a genuine part of their decision making process is how awkward it is for them to gamble without the correct change. What's ultimately wrong with having change on the table? Of course there is a finite amount of actual chips, but in most cases there are plenty of spare 100/500/1k denomination chips in the box, and these can still be raced off or coloured up later on. Does anybody else share this opinion? Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: kinboshi on August 04, 2011, 04:22:15 PM I think a 20K starting stack comprised of 1x10K and 1x5K chips is:
a) a very small stack b) not 20K (but yes, I agree) Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: Simon Galloway on August 04, 2011, 04:27:39 PM Its fine for there to be plenty of change available. But when your neighbour keeps asking for change and then keeps calling big bets by using lots of low denom (i.e. your change) chips, it is even worse.
IOW - if it's 1100 to call and you want to call, ffs use a 1k chip as part of it, not 2 stacks of ante chips that takes you 3 hours to count out. Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: Cf on August 04, 2011, 04:27:53 PM 2 x 5,000
6 x 1,000 6 x 500 8 x 100 8 x 25 seems about right to me. Having loads of chips and getting a monster stack is awesome. I wish more casinos would realise this. DTD used to be good in this regard but the last few times I've played you start with less chips than you used to and they're a lot more aggressive at chipping up. A shame. Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: zerofive on August 04, 2011, 04:35:44 PM Sigh at being taken to pedantic school by kinboshi.
The strange thing was that there were 12*t25 chips which I've never seen before and thought was a good idea. Say a 12x25/12x100/3x500/7x1k/2x5k setup seems fine, and would solve a bunch of change issues. Wouldn't take much longer to set up, would be a lot less frustrating for players/dealers. Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: Boba Fett on August 04, 2011, 04:40:50 PM You were dealing my table yesterday, I thought it was you but thought I read on your blog that you had quit dealing so thought maybe I had you confused with someone else.
Def not enough smaller denomination chips on the table, every other hand someone had to change up 5k/10k chips and a lot of the time it wasnt obvious who had the most change to do it. Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: cambridgealex on August 04, 2011, 04:53:14 PM During the Monte Carlo heads up match I recently played with bracelet winner Matt Perrins, there were 280x 25k chips in play and 112x 5k chips, a total of 7.56 million. I thought this was sufficient.

Oh, and yeah, found this quite annoying in this comp, especially when people who had seemingly never handled chips in their life were coutning out 10k worth of change for about 15minutes. Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: Nit Tendencies on August 04, 2011, 05:43:08 PM So someone poured a drink over someone else? Is that a fair deduction?
Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: cambridgealex on August 04, 2011, 05:45:26 PM So someone poured a drink over someone else? Is that a fair deduction? I did not pour a drink over anybody nor did I make any violent action towards another being. That's all. Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: SuuPRlim on August 04, 2011, 05:45:56 PM can you two stop fucking around and tell me what happened cos im getting joke tilted by all the dubai-esque riddles on every thread.

So Sean, how did you cope with the abundance of high denomination chips?
Did you get to perfect the impressive and tricky skill of separating chips with a flick of the wrist such that some land over the line and some behind the line? Alas, only other dealers can appreciate this skill. Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: Nit Tendencies on August 04, 2011, 06:09:34 PM Let's get this thread back on track. Nah.Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: GreekStein on August 04, 2011, 06:16:29 PM So Stato was partying with the England cricket team?
Deadman was partying with the England Rugby team? Who were you partying with Alexander Goulder?

Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: SuuPRlim on August 04, 2011, 06:55:58 PM ok so here is my guess,
Alex was being overly chirpy and his excited demeanor came across to some less civilized nottingham natives as arrogance and as a result he got a drink thrown over him. No doubt slightly tilted and a bit irratated by the event Alex starts defending himself to the villain of the crime and is thusly invited to leave the club, he then explains to the bouncers he is the 2010 monte carlo champion and that they, as lesser beings with shit hendon mobs and prolly dont even own a white iPad should leave him the fuck alone and this comment was met by his face colliding for the pavement outside after breifly being used to open the door. For some reason this is kept from the world? Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: danny_b on August 04, 2011, 07:06:59 PM Shaun, you are right, lower denomination chips would be better for all. Seriously though, I love the new direction of this thread. Haha!

Title: Re: High Denomination Chips Post by: Nit Tendencies on August 04, 2011, 07:11:38 PM Pretty sure the girls are loving all of this attention.
Also, does anybody remember that time when Alex Goulder won the Monte Carlo event defeating the bracelet winner Matt Perrins? That was a cool time.
