Sitting Out
Looking to buy my first decent set of chips and am having a hard time deciding on denominations. My group plays a tournament style game with an initial buy of somewhere around $20-50. We allow one rebuy.
I like the idea of tournament denominations but I feel like it might be confusing the the group. We have been making certain colors value at like .25/.50/1/2/5 and generally try to match starting stacks to the value we decided the buy in was that night.
I have noticed that a common split for tournament chips are 25/100/500/1000. Im considering following those ratios but dividing them all by 100. So id end up with a chipset of .25/1/5/10 and probably some 25/50s for good measure. I feel this would allow us to follow some more structures rules and suggested tournament styles but allow the group to feel more comfortable knowing the true value of what they are betting. This would also allow me to do the occasional cash game should I want to.
I'm looking to spend ~$300-$400 on a nice chipset and want flexibility, but don't want to make a mistake. Figured maybe I could learn from your mistakes.
Would love to hear the forum's thoughts on if this is a good idea, if it even makes sense, or should I just tell my friends to suck it up and learn my new chips as large tournament denominations because it's my house lol.
