5*50
6*100
2*500

22 * 24 = 520 then color ups with 100's and 500's

we have league events 2 times a month and this is the perfect chip size to keep the game moving. I hate going to someones house who gives everybody 40 chips to start it really really slows down the game.

That seems pretty unusual, starting each person with 5 denoms.
I'm curious how that works out to have a 10 and 25 chip (but no 5), since there's not an integer ratio in those values. With each person starting with relatively few of each denom, I'd think you'd need to make change often, but the 25/10 ratio means making chang is a bit harder.... you'd have to find somebody with 5 extra 10's and trade 2x25's?

Do you start the blinds out at 10/20?

What do you think about giving each person T2500, and starting the blinds at 25/25? That way, you wouldn't need the 10's.

We start at 10/20 and have multiple denoms to make it easier for new player. 10=$.10 50= $.50 ect. Its easier for a first time player to manage there chips when they buy in for $20 in chips and there failure with the value.

we do sometimes have to make change in the pot for the first couple blinds but once we color up its not a problem . To us its allot faster to swap a red for 5 whites real quick (while the dealer is shuffling)than to wait on some guy to count out a stack of 25 chips to make a call.
