Well if you go with HPT’s suggested starting chips of:

15x$5
13x$25
6x$100

Then you need 150, 130, & 60 for 10 players with no rebuy. You’ve got the $5 covered, and the $25, but you are 10 short on $100. You’ll have 4000 in $5 & $25 chips in play. Assuming you want to be able to color up all the $5 & $25 you’ll need 40 more $100. That’s an even 50 more to your existing set. As for what denom the other 50 chips should be, I’d vote for $25. You’ll have $750 of $5 chips in play and when it comes time to color them up you’ll need 30 $25 chips to do so. Your current set only has 20 left over after handing out starting chips, so without more $25 chips, you’d have to buy them from the chip leaders to color up others. Not a big deal, but I like being able to color up with just the “bank”.


Wouldn’t waste your time on a $1000 chip. Not sure what blind schedule you use, but your games probably never get to the point where coloring up to just $500 & $1000 chips is necessary, especially without rebuys. You’d only need 10 to represent all the chips in play anyway, so 50 of them is way overkill. Even if you starting allowing rebuys, you’d be better off with more $100 & $500 chips before adding a $1000 chip.
