Chip denominations.

[celtic]

At what point in a comp, with no antes, do you remove the 100 chips?

Same question for a comp where the minimum ante is 100, and goes up in increments if 100.

[Tal]

Suspect this is a loaded question...

I'll bite...

When you don't need those chips any longer, although usually done at the next break.

So, 1000/2000 if no antes would be the most likely.

Has this not happened, then?

[celtic]

No, nothing hidden, just wanted some views.

[Karabiner]

Doesn't it depend on whether Marcel Luske has a big stack?

[Tal]

Should clarify my answer by saying 1000/2000 in comps where the blinds then go 1500/3000 and so on

Aye, next level is 1500/3000

When the blinds are 1k/2k players should be able to raise to 4200 or 4400 if they wish rather than be forced to raise to 4500 due to available chips on the table.

Floor can colour up if needed but no need for a chip race.

I do like the idea of leaving some chips on the table but to take it to a ridiculous level there's no need to have 25s on the table when the blinds have reached 1m/2m.

Just take them off when they're not needed imo. As long as there is an ante they should stay on long enough.

You did this at GUKPT Brighton, remember, and most people said they disagreed with you.

I don't take them off out of spite. It's just not necessary. I do see that you have a point. I am not oblivious to where you are coming from, I just don't believe it is necessary. You have to adapt to the level change.

Personally, for someone that is very reasonable, this issue makes you very antagonistic.

Vinni "reasonable".

Eh?

PS - Good luck for the GUKPT week, George.

What reason is there for leaving unnecessary small chip denominations on the table?

Surely this

Hang on a minute George. Antagonistic?

I have put this thread up to ask a question. A question that, given the replies so far, is gonna prove me wrong. I haven't mentioned which card room I think this is a problem in, and I haven't tried to sway anyone into agreeing with me.

I do however think its a problem, albeit not a massive one, that certain denomination chips are removed when they are. I'm not the only one that thinks it, but I am probably the only one that mentions it.

[relaedgc]

Sorry.

I meant to say that I am ill equipped to understand your point; as it is beyond my level of poker comprehension.

With my inadequate understanding of the game, I struggle to see your side of the argument.

[Cf]

My main issue is when card rooms change chips up when they don't need to. To me it feels like whenever it's break time TDs and staff swoop down upon the tables like vultures to make change and it really really winds me up.

I like having a big stack with lots of chips. By all means change up the 100s which aren't needed anymore but leave my 500 and 1000s alone.

Great thread bro
