imgur.comWhy do they play with $5 chips? I understand $25 wouldn't divide right. But it must be kind of a pain to have to use so many $5 chips.

The most popular limits in LHE games are played with chip denominations such that a small blind is 2 chips, and a big blind is 4 chips. 4/8 is played with $1, 8/16 is played with $2, 20/40 $5, 40/80 $10, etc. If you're ever at the Bellagio you can see most of these limits being played (and higher in the HL area) .
There are exceptions to this, the limits that squeeze in between are played with whatever denominations the house decides. 6/12 can be played with either $1 or $2 depending on the casino. I've heard of 5/10 being played with 2.50 blackjack chips. 10/20, at the Bellagio at least, uses $5 chips.
Some people say that using denominations that result in 1chip/2chip blinds makes for a tighter game, because psychology. I've only played 10/20 for a few minutes so cannot confirm.

It's not a pain at all. I love playing with mountains of chips. Although, it does kinda suck when you're trying to walk to the cage with 10 racks ;)

Hah! I just felt like for every bet, the dealer has to count stacks of chips and stuff.

Limit hold em, man. 4chip/8chip structure. Dealer doesn't have to count anything.

Nice score I'm jealous. Also don't hide your $25 chips like that bro...although maybe that's not an issue in limit games?

Non issue. Stack size is almost irrelevant in a fixed limit game. That's why the buy-in is uncapped.

Sooo, any hands, tells, etc. you want to tell us about?

Eh, not really tbh. Limit is a very gradual grind (upwards, hopefully lol).

The highest I've ever played was 10/20 and I was so drunk I don't remember much of it. Still won $600.
