Some background (Skip if you don’t care):
I joined this forum back in October as I was planning to start up a poker game and immediately caught the chip bug. All of a sudden the dice chips I was playing with were inadequate. Had to upgrade and purchased a set of used ceramics off the classifieds. Hosted my first tournament in the beginning of November with 5 other guys. Won the tournament and decided to have a .25/.25 cash game a couple weeks later. Well, I couldn’t use the same chips for cash and tournament so back to the classifieds I went for a cash set. 8 people at this game maxed out my table. Fast forward to today and I am hosting twice a month, both tourney and cash and average 10 players each game. I anticipate it growing but will probably need to cap it at 18 for the space. I just finished building a second table with custom gaming cloth from T Chan. My group is mostly blue collar guys with crude mouths who are looking to get out of the house a couple times a month. There are a few teachers, an actuary and a couple white collar folks mixed in as well. $20 tournaments $40-$60 bankrolls for the cash games won't make anyone rich or blow their mortgage. The most anyone lost in a night was $70. This makes for a lot of drunken fun but hard to justify 2 sets of paulsons (which I would love) so I thought I would jump on the old faux clay nation band wagon! Back to the classifieds I went and picked up 1,900 chips.
Here is where I need advice:
What are your recommended chip values? I will be attempting different ways to label the chips later in this forum. For right now just need to break this into a cash and tourney set to accommodate up to 18 tournament players and $1,000ish bank for a .25/.25 cash set.
My initial thoughts
Cash Set:
200-Blue- .25
260-White- $1
150-Grey-$5? $10?
Tournament:
T-2,000 (Though I would prefer T10k with base T25)
513-Red-T5
389-Green- T25
190-Black- T100
100-Purple- T500
100-Yellow- T1,000
Here is what I have to work with.
Breakdown:
White 260
Red 513
Green 389
Black 190
Purple 100
Yellow 100
Blue 200
Gray 150
