Hi. I’m going to buy a chipset for a $1/$2 NLHE ring game with 4-6 players. I plan to buy 400-500 chips in three denominations. $1, $5, $25. How many chips of etch denomination should I get? I’ve searched the forums and read the article on chip breakdowns by Matthew but I’m still in the dark on this one. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm no expert on ring games, but I would probably go with

$25 x 50
$5 x 150
$1 x 200-300 depending on howmany you get.
That gives you $2200+ in chips which should be more than enough.

Too easy.

Here's one breakdown:


So it looks to me like:
125 x $1
100 x $5
25 x $25
---------------
250 chips

would be plenty for 6 people, $100 buyin with 6 rebuys.

If you want to support $200 buyins and rebuys, just buy 50 more $25 chips:

125 x $1
100 x $5
75 x $25
----------------
300 chips

If you're going to buy 400 - 500 chips, you can have much more flexibility in your games. Which way would you like to go? More players? Different games (limit, tourney, etc) Different stakes?

Thanks for the help guys. I already have a chipset for tourneys so I think I will go with something like:
200-250 x $1
100-150 x $5
50 x $25
