An oddball chip color-guessing scenario. (2 Viewers)

[Larold]

Let's play a guessing game; the only information available is what is given below.

You walk into a large-ish home poker tournament that is somewhere in the U.S. bot not in the state of California. You know the tournament host to be experienced and competent running tournaments.

You see the tournament chipset that will be in play. You know for sure (somehow) that greens will be T25, blacks = T100, and lavender = T500.

You also spot orange, grey, yellow, and pink chips. You are told all of them will either start in play (along with the colors above), or eventually be added in.

For each color - yellow, orange, grey, and pink - what is your first guess as to the denomination of each?

Now, go back and for each color, pretend your first guess was incorrect. What would your next guess be?

Happy holidays.

Yellow 1K, Orange 5K, Grey 25K, Pink 100K. Although the last two could be reversed.

Answering without reading the other responses...

First guess: yellow=1000; orange=5000; pink=25000; grey=bounty/utility chip
Second guess: orange=1000; pink=5000; grey=25000; yellow=bounty/utility chip

Yellow - Mustard Roulettes (throw away)
Grey - Too depressing (use as table shims)
Orange - Too bright (make $1,000,000,000 so as to never be felted)
Pink - Should be a Frac (since no fracs in play use 3 layed flat touching each other as a drink coaster)

Ok…No need for 25k/100k in a tourney with 25s unless this is a VERY large home game.
So what to do..what to do…
Grey $1
Pink: $2.5
Orange: $5
Yellow: $1k

Gotta think outside the box!!??!!

Soooooooo

What was the answer?

Well, this is how -I- had been using them, but was never sure how strong there was for any consensus on these particular colors, even after researching.

Yellow: T 1K chip
Grey: T 5K chip
Pink: T 25K chip (I had heard some casinos use pink for blackjack $2.5 chip, so T 25K kind of had a faint alignment)
Orange: Utility / bounty / rarely-T100K for huge tournaments (looks different enough from yellow that it's easily playable)

Thanks for the input all - really appreciate it!

My guess would be Yellow 1K and Pink 5K, those are pretty standard. Probably gray for 25K, but probably unlikely to be needed unless we are talking like a 3-table+ tournament.

Second guess would be Yellow 1K, Gray 5K (which I have seen in live casino as well), and Orange 25K.
