They became even more beligerent when I told them the chip values (white = 1, red = 5, green = 25, blue = 50, and black = 100). After half an hour of bitching and griping from the (now drunk) peanut gallery we changed the denoms to what they are accustomed to. For the record, I fought this every step of the way.
white = 50 cents
red = $1
green = $2
blue = $5
black = $10
I found this to be so bloody wrong on every level that I am tempted to take a sharpie marker and write the proper denoms on my chips so this travesty will never happen again. |
Don't be too hard on them. When I first suggested using my denom'ed chips, there was great reluctance from my friends, who were used to starting with a full chip rack (100 chips) and playing 1-2. After a couple of games, they got used to the higher values, and don't want to go back to the "old ways". Looking at it, you're still close in value with the green, blue, and black (just ignoring the last number)...
Remember, if you get all pissed off and do something to spite your friends, then your poker night will start getting awfully lonely...
