Here's how I put them to use: I use them to keep track of the amount of the blinds. I play heads-up with my friend. We each get 50 chips for no-limit hold'em, and the blinds start at 1/2. After each hand, increment a die from 1 through to 6. At this point, the blinds go up to 2/4, so we increment the second die from 1 to 2 and reset the first back to 1. We continue to increment the first die from 1 through to 6 after each hand, after which the blinds are 4/8. Since we cap the blinds at 4/8, we just increment the second die to 4 and remove the first from the table. So, to summarize, we use the dice as a quick reminder of the blinds in our version of heads up texas hold 'em. Cheers!
