| Our games are usually 5 people, with the occaisional 8, but I couldn't resist getting 1000 of the Pharoahs. Knew it was more than we would use, even on the busiest nights, but what the heck.
We usually play tourney with T1000 or T1500, depending on how long we want to go. Never play cash games, but I wanted to get some NCV's just in case we try it (and also to get a "complete set"). I decided to go with blue, white, and orange NCV's (we never get to see any $1000 chips), and the rest with denominations.
Here's mine:
NCV Blue - 100
NCV White - 100
$5 Red - 300
$25 Green - 250
$100 Black - 100
$500 Purple - 50
NCV Orange - 100
I went a bit heavy on the red $5's, just because everyone likes to have a big stack of chips in front of them during the first part of the game, so I usually give out 40 of the $5 chips at the start. Sometimes coloring up so many reds is tedious, but it's a friendly game, and we all play mainly for the fun of it (never more than $20 buy-in).
Thought about getting a couple of the 500 capacity Mahogany cases, but have probably decided just to go with another birdcage. It's what I currently use with my 650 Chipco Rounders, and I really like how easy it is to count out 20 chips quickly. Hopefully the Pharaohs will fit into the plastic racks nicely.
As I'm sure everyone else is, I am eagerly awaiting delivery!!!
