such a joke.. i laughed. we played 25c/50c blinds.. and when we questioned them why the 50c chips, they said 'coz the blinds r 25/50'..
and we said we didnt need 50c.. and they asked 'then how do we do a big blind'... LOL
You want to hear a ****ing joke? A friend runs home tournaments once in a while. He uses dice chips. I said I'd bring my chips over and set everything up. Had everything figured out, blind levels, starting stacks, appropriate colours, everything to run a smooth tourney that would last just long enough.
But no, 4000 in chips wasn't "enough" chips for a tournament. Also, 3 colours aren't enough, gotta get at least 5 different colours on the table. Also, **** tournament clocks, we'll double the blinds whenever someone busts or whenever we feel like it. Also, 25/100/500 for chip values?
No no no no no, that's MUCH too confusing. They insisted on using their own breakdown... Which was, wait for it:
100, 200, 500, 600, 1000
Yes, I am not ****ing kidding. $200 and $600 chips.
I've decided playing poker with friends is not something I really want to do anymore.
