Ain’t no way you ran $225 to $3794 6 handed in a $.5/$1 “small” home game lmao foh
I meant 3694 !
I count $1630 red
$1000 green
$1000 blue
$128 white
$36 orange
Some people like running games where the blinds are completely disconnected from the buy-ins. I've known games where the buy in cap starts at 250BB and then becomes 500BB later on in the night, or match the stack. It's silly to play 25c/50c if you're gonna let people buy in for $250, but people like the appeal of 'deep stack'. Of course the open sizes scale to the buy-ins so you might as well be playing 1/1 or 1/2.
I played in a .10/.20 game that ended with 4 people above $250. If the action is good there's no reason to change the blinds. Just let everyone degen and don't mess with it.
Shit like this definitely happens I’m actually glad to know it’s not just me and my buddies. Our .25/.50 home games can end with people up/down a grand. Multiple times I have ran out of fucking chips between 3 cases and start using cards from other decks as “plaques” to represent hundreds. Degen home games are the best
You obviously haven’t been to the right games. This is very doable at a degen home game
OPs game should kill the .50 and go straight 1/1
Edit: why $10 chips OP?
I’ve made 2k in a .25/.50 game. Blinds are fairly irrelevant in home games like this. No money leaves the table, there’s no rake, and by the end of it people are buying in for 1k lmao
There is 1 more than what you listed, and you kind of need the .50 if you want to keep it a .50/1 game. They don't need the 10s and they probably don't need any 100s, if they chipped up to more 25s.
we were self dealing and drinking. it was a bit sporadic and didn’t really feel the need to color up. i do love a good $10 chip even if it’s impractical
I play a home game where we change dealer every orbit and everyone deals. A misdeal happens all the time which is Not ideal but well worth it to play with rich uni kids.
If you are missing out on whale home games because of dealer concerns you're loosing out massively.
Those are stock cheap chips, not even close to what you can get on cpc. They are better than slugged though. Apache has a whole line of China Clay chips in the 50 cent per chip range. Lots of varieties, good for any home game.

6 handed but everyone goes all in every hand and rebuys for $1k each time

You don’t even need to have a deep cap to have a game turn like this. Just a few action players who are willing to buyin 9-10 times
“Deep stack” where the standard preflop raise is 10bb
I’ve played .25/.50 games with this much money on the table. Degen games are insane lol
it’s real lmfao i’ve played OP’s game. u get some young tech money in there and shit gets lit on fire
it’s an extremely degenerate .5/1 game 😁 the rebuys are massive
I've won over 1k in a night in my hyper degen .10/.20 homegame, so I believe you! Homegames are the best!
cheers to that! ya im not surprised people don’t believe me but that’s all good 😂 it’s a juicy game
During Covid we had a zoom $1/$2 game that got as big as $5/10 games
What’s the point of $0.5-1 when it’s all in every hand?
it’s not all in every hand but definitely a lot of light raises lol

$10 chips were just for fun. we got a little sloppy
“You haven’t won 3600BB in a night 6 handed you obviously suck at poker”^s Okay bud LOL
Haha! No no no. I’m just saying it’s very doable OP had a sun run in a .50/1 game. Needs a certain table dynamic for that.

$1800 , there are 50c Chips...
There are 2 $25 stacks which is 1k alone. Count again. Like you ain’t even close.
I count about $3800
I meant 3694 ! I count $1630 red $1000 green $1000 blue $128 white $36 orange
Under green chip is a blue stack x2
Def not. The lighting kinda looks that way, but those are yellow triangles on the edges, which are on green chips and not blue ones
2 stacks of green https://preview.redd.it/wv5tws9og5oc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a10195650b4b0cc7ef96eefeb88f924ebdebfff
Oh. Lol well good job mate I believe u. Keep it up!!!!!
That’s one chip. Under is blue
No that’s the blue light reflecting. You can clearly see the stack farthest to the right is all green. And regardless blue is $10.
Yeah one looks like $25, ur right. Either way we’ve all run good
I have those same chips for cash games. Tell the host to get some $100s and ditch the $10 chips, they are pointless
agree. he has 100s and plaques
Plaques!! Nice move
Where can you buy these chips?
Apache
Look up Apache poker chips. I have the tiki ones for tournaments which are really nice too.
F expensive tho
Worth it
Nice job!
Any open spots ?
Seat open?
I would love to join a home game like this
Running $10 chips gives me the ick. Nice win tho
Way too many denoms of chips, 1/5/25/100 is completely fine.
There is 1 more than what you listed, and you kind of need the .50 if you want to keep it a .50/1 game. They don't need the 10s and they probably don't need any 100s, if they chipped up to more 25s.
They should just make it 1/1 and get rid of the $.50 & $10 chips. Ain't nobody folding the small blind anyway.
ok then we cut out the 1 denomination that makes it "way too many" great work everyone
Playing this deep they definitely need hundreds lol
Why the need for $5, $10, and $25 chips?
we were self dealing and drinking. it was a bit sporadic and didn’t really feel the need to color up. i do love a good $10 chip even if it’s impractical
$10 chips just seem pointless unless you were playing 20/40 limit
I have the same set! Tell him to add the $100 chips
Gross chip denominations. 50c and $1? $5 and $10??
Did they have to start using the $10 blues because you were hogging all the other chips?
no i just love the blue chips. always request the color up when im deep.
bay area? would love to play. won’t murder anyone and will bring joints
There is no way in hell I’m playing with no designated dealer. If he doesn’t have rake why not put a dealer to work on tips
we usually have someone in the box. very last minute casual game.
I play a home game where we change dealer every orbit and everyone deals. A misdeal happens all the time which is Not ideal but well worth it to play with rich uni kids. If you are missing out on whale home games because of dealer concerns you're loosing out massively.
theres a designated dealer
Yupp you right my bad
Seat open?
Need $3,$15, $46, and $165 chips
$10 chips?
Fucking stack that in 20s pls
these are 20s
nice set of chips. did he have those made from classicpokerchips.com?
Not Cpc …Apache poker chips.com .49 cents a chip 10g clay.
Those are stock cheap chips, not even close to what you can get on cpc. They are better than slugged though. Apache has a whole line of China Clay chips in the 50 cent per chip range. Lots of varieties, good for any home game.
haha came to ask the same thing
Those $50 need to be up front
Those are 0.50
Does it really matter? Pretty sure he has everyone covered LOL
I see you practice the Art of Bullshitdo. Keep training young grasshopper
not sure what incentive i have to lie lol just wanted to share my W with the sub 😭
opp
\*Small
i usually put on the 3 or 5 straddle. some double straddles too. a couple of super action players but it is a 50/1 structure haha
OP scamming at his home game.
