| A great 1000 chip breakdown...
I have seen this asked so many times and I think I have it down pretty well so I thought I would share. Also, just so you know, I often play in $.25/.$50/$1.00 dealers choice games so I needed 50's. Regardless, I think this set-up works great.
360 Green chips @ 25 value x 12 chips per man = 300 value
360 Grey chips @ 50 value x 12 chips per man = 600 value
196 Black chips @ 100 value x 6 chips per man = 600 value
84 Purple chips @ 500 value x 1 chip per man = 500 value
With the above numbers (5 stardeal lets you get single nexgens like this) you can accommodate a 30 man tourney with each player getting $2000 in chips and getting 31 chips each - which I believe are really good numbers all around. You will also have, 54 - purple, 500 chips left over for coloring up later on.
Obviously, you can change the colors or whatever, but for the amount and values, I don't think you can work it out any better than the above - esp. if you need the 50's to serve for your cash games. I mean come on, 1000 chips for 30 folks with room for color-up. Show me how this can be done better...
