Buying a new set of chips the trouble is there are no .25 cent chips which I use alot so the solution is to use the $25 chips for .25, the $100 chips for 1.00 etc... Anyhow I also wnat to be able to do a dollar poker game if need be. So below is what I am thinking I should get.


Quanty Chip Value Total
-------- ------------ -----
320 1 $320
20 2.50 $50
80 5 $400
40 20 $800
320 25 $8000
160 100 $1600
50 500 $5000
25 1000 $2500

My current chips are NV so these will be the first with values. Also I will not be able to get more if these so this is it.

What chips are you getting? What blinds are you using? How many people will be playing at one time?

My first recommendation is to get rid of the $2.50 chip and get more $5 chips. Also, I think you have to many $25 (.25) chips. Would need to know the answer to how many people you plan on having, but my rule of thumb is to have a max of $2 in .25 chips per player.

Geek,

You already have NV chips, so I don't see the reason to get denominated chips with the "wrong" values on them. Are you trying to use the same set for tourney's as well? If so, we need all the particulars on your tournament structure, # players, blinds, rebuys, etc, etc.

So let me make sure I understand your question -- you are going to get some denominated chips that you want to use for both cash games and tourneys. And the set you're looking at does not have 25¢ chips. Is that it?

I think denoms are the way to go, myself. So I think you're on the right track, especially if you've already had the experience of using NV chips.

I suggest only 4 (or maybe 5 at most) different chips. Any more than that and I think you are spending more money than you have to, to get some chips that you won't use very often. I'd rather have more chips of a few denoms than too many denoms.

First, what about this:

• drop the $2.50 chip (unless you're going to be playing a lot of $5 Blackjack), and
• drop the $20 chip (unless you are playing a lot of 10/20 or 20/40 poker)

Then, are you going to play primarily tournaments or primarily cash? I think one set can work for both if you are trying to be frugal. You could get away with 4 denoms, as a primary tourney set and some cash:

• $25 chips (or 25¢)
• $100 chips (or $1)
• $500 chips (or $5)
• $1000 chips (or $10)

If you are playing mostly cash, then probably get some $1 and $5 chips and skip the $500s and $1000s.

Here's a very frugal 300 set I use for tourneys up to 10 people (T$5,000 start with 25/50 blinds) and cash games for 6-8 people. If you want to buy more chips, scale up the quantity of each denom and/or add some $1s.

• 80 x $25
• 140 x $100
• 50 x $500
• 30 x $1000

Thanks for the input I am getting Paulson NY chips. I mainly play texas hold em or dealer calls the games. We play for .25 mostly but we are getting to bigger bucks. I want to get a chip set that would last me a while since I only have one shot to get this and can't add to it later. Player wise we usally have 8 - 10.
