How should I determine the value of my chips?

#1 07-01-2007, 2:51 PM

I have a poker chips of four colours - blue, red, orange, and white. If I want to play Limit Hold'em $2/$4, how should I determine the value of each chip?

Just having 2 colours is your best bet

Values, 1 and 5 only

The conventional values are as follows:

White, $1
Yellow, $2
Red, $5
Blue, $10
Grey, $20
Green, $25
Orange, $50
Black, $100
Pink, $250
Purple, $500
Burgundy, $1000
Light Blue, $2000
Brown, $5000

and that`s usually what you`ll find in a casino (although there are certainly some variations and it`s not a universal rule). Last time I played in a live game, the dealer had Gold chips on her rack. Didn`t know what they were (and didn`t want to ask and look like a noob).

Of course, in a home game you can pretty much please yourself, and Welly`s suggestion should work fine.

Egon has a good list for general use. Just make sure everyone knows what chips are what to keep things fair. I have six different colors of chips and don't exactly follow the list above, but I post a sheet by every table so everyone always knows what chip is worth what value - no question.

Yep, for unmarked chips you can make them anything you like. For $2/$4 limit, Welly is on the mark. All you need is $1 and $5 designated chips. And make sure to p

Doh!!

Guess it would help if I didn't change my mind on sentence placement in the middle of sentences. LOL

But peeing everyday is still important. Let's call it a public service message.

Hmmmmmm, i don't see how peeing is relevant to the topic (or relevant to anything here at all!).
