the 5's come in handy in long games where tons of money end up at the table. don't cut them (imo)

edit: but i don't give them out to start. usually i give out 10 small blinds, and 35 of the workhorse chips.

so
10 X .50
35 X $1

my cash set's pretty big though (325 1s, and 100 .50s + tons of red (the lowend of my tourny set).

the reds only come out when needed (running low on 1s).
