I think I agree with what you're saying (it's too early in the morning for me to be sure). I'm sure I won't be playing tournament rules forever, but it does take a lot of the thought process out when it comes to cashout time. My thoughts are that for ring games I've never played with anything less than $0.25 as a betting unit, no nickels or dimes. This would allow me to use my $25 chip as $0.25, $100 as $1.00, etc. That is why I was loading up on more of the $25 and $100 chips. Maybe I only need 500 chips instead of 650?
I'm starting to think maybe getting some white chips as Coleman suggested since I don't plan on ever having more than one table. If I go with some of the white, I would lean toward non-denoms for that color just for flexibility. Does this seem reasonable seeing as those chips would likely never be used in tournament and would give me the flexibilty to add $0.05 or $0.10 chips to ring games? I would just get a bunch of red $5 denom chips, but I like the look of the white chip better than the red and definitely don't want the $1 denom.
Way too much thought (or lack of it) was put into this post so early. I'm sure I just confused the issue, but am not awake enough to see it yet.
