the robert rules of poker tips was very helpful, so that we can reference to something if a problem arises.
like i said in the beginning. thanks everybody! |
Of course, some tiny mistake in idiomatic usage is always the problem with a second language, thus the bag/case confusion.
Most chip cases are fairly standard in size so that almost all chips fit. There are a few oversized chips out there that do not fit standard cases, but dice-type chips and faux clay have similar diameters. The one thing you WILL find is that chips are often slightly different in their thickness. And most cases will actually fit a few more chips in a row than a standard number (for example, 53 chips might fit in a row instead of 50).
What we do with our cases is arrange them so that each row is most of a standard buy-in: 52 chips actually -- 40 reds, 12 blues. The buy-in also includes 3 blacks, but those don't fit in the rows, so I (or whoever is banking that night) just count those out after I give each player a row of chips. After I cash everyone out, I put the chips back in the cases just as they were (arranged in buy-ins) so they are ready for the next game.
But as others said -- the most important thing about the game is to have a GOOD TIME!!
