The Choice Between Poker Chips With Denominations And Standard

By Kieth Sanna

Selecting between poker chips with denominations and the standard color chips is pretty simple. Nonetheless, your preference will very much depend on what type of game you generally play. Frequency and the number of players involved in the game also play a major part in making a choice.

Poker chips with denominations usually come in specific arrangement. A set normally contains a combination of 1 dollar chips, 5 dollar chips, 10 dollar chips, 25 dollar chips, and 100 dollar chips. All in all, there are 5 different denominations of poker chips. The game will be much better if you have more denominations ready.

A standard colored chip set consists of a variety of 5 colors. Usually, the colors come in white, red, blue, green, and black. While it is good to have multiple colored chips, the game can also become quite confusing because you will have to determine what color corresponds to a specific denomination.

So now you have to decide what type of game you and your friends usually play. Do you play tournaments or cash games? Poker chips with denominations are better in tournaments. In cash games though, you will want to create a unique set of denominations for each chip, so the plain colored chips would work better.

Another factor is the frequency of your play, for instance in a specific month. If you play poker 3 or more times per month, it would be wise to purchase a poker chip set that will fit your needs. Choosing between plain colored chips or chips with denominations really depends on you. I always recommend keeping both types.

The number of players joining your poker game is a major determinant of your decision to go with or without denominations. In my opinion however, poker chips with denominations would be the best choice. You can still use them in cash games, but they are more fitting in tournaments.

Poker chips with denominations will astonish the players in your poker game. I assure you that you will entice many players to join your poker games using your poker chips.

When the denominations on the poker chips do not correspond with the denominations you play in a cash game, you will have to modify. Unless, you keep both colored chips and chips with denominations. You can also modify your poker chips with denominations so it can fit your cash game. If you play lower stakes than the actual denominations on the poker chips, try to adjust so they fit the game.
