Cash Game Need suggestion for my first poker set (1 Viewer)

[Mandarin]

I need a poker set for play cash game with friends (8 peoples maximum) that can play for up to 1000฿ each (50฿ , 100฿ , ... 1000฿ game)

For easy to calculate. I assume ..
25c chips equal to 0.25฿
1$ chips equal to 1฿
5$ chips equal to 5฿
25$ chips equal to 25฿
100$ chips equal to 100฿

How many chips do I need?

Is this for cash games? What amounts are you using for blinds or antes?

Assuming you're playing .25/.50 NLHE, a typical breakdown might be something like this:

.25 x 100
1 x 200
5 x 180
25 x 20

400 chips, total bank of over 1600฿. This should be plenty, unless you have a bunch of crazy poker buddies who want to throw a ton of money around.

Or you could do 500 chips, get 250 1's, 200 5's, and 50 25's, and have a bank of over 2500฿.

Of course, around here, the answer to "how many chips do I need?" is always "more"!

Sorry, I’m not sure.. I never play real poker yet. But I think for a game with..

50฿ for each player .. will start with .25/.50
100฿ to 300฿ .. start with .50/1 or 1/2
500฿ .. start with 2/4 or 5/10
1000฿ .. start with 5/10 or 10/20

Still need some suggestion about this too.

This 400 chips set can play 50฿ and 100฿ for 8 people. Am I right?

Thank you very much

@Mandarin

Approximately much is 100฿ worth compared to US dollars? And how much money would you and your prospective poker buddies be willing to lose comfortably in a game?

100฿ is equal to 3$ (Round number). But I assume that chip value is in ฿ currency for easy count.

Normally, Comfortable with 50฿ (1.5$) , 100฿ (3$) , 300฿ (9$) , 500฿ (15$) , 1000฿ (30$) buy-in.. depend to who I play with.

One more question, OK, if you're playing a cash game, there's not a huge difference between the 50฿ game and the 1000฿ game, in terms of chips you need. For the 50 game, I'd play .25/.25 (basically, no small blinds), and use .25, $1, and $5 chips for starting stacks, with some $25's for rebuys. For the 1000฿ game, I'd probably play 1/2, or 2/5. 2/4 will work, you just may need more 1's. Starting stacks of $1, $5, and $25 chips, and use $100's and maybe $500's.

Maybe something like this would work for the entire range:
.25 x 100
$1 x 200
$5 x 200
$25 x 100
$100 x 100

Perhaps add 100 chips each of $1's, $5's, and $500's to make it an even 1000 chips.

Thank you for very clear information

You could also use tournament chips to play directly in baht, if you didn't want to use US cash denominations.

T5, T25, T100 might work okay for you. There's a good chance you won't need more than 400 chips

I would set a cash game max buy-in at 100 big blinds so:
.25/.50 = $50 buy-in
.50/$1 = $100 buy-in
$1/$2 = $200 buy-in
Etc...

I’d get 100 chips of each denomination from .25 to 100 to start. When you see what stakes you play most often then you can get more 1, 5 or 25.
