Hi, I'm pretty new to CT. I recently bought 2 PSO's and I'd like to expand my collection (I've been lured in)! I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on what chip amounts to get. I currently own 600 NJ Skulls. Here are the breakdowns:

200- $1's
200- $5's
100- $25's
100- $100's

My friends and I usually play small ring games ranging from 6-10 players. We have decided that we want to hold a tourney, using my chips. Besides the fact that I love these chips, I was wondering what amounts of each chip should I get more ($.25, $.50, $1, $5, $25, $100, $500, $1000) for an additional 400-500 chips.

Thanks for the help,
Cameron.

Personally, I would get 100 of the $100, 100 of the $500, and 100 of the $1000. Of course this depends on how many people play, you may not need that many, buy for a tourney chip collection these dominations work great, plus there easy to put in stacks for BB and raises instead of having to count chip buy chip all the time.

AceJack,
(I moved your thread to the Home Game Advice/Chip Breakdowns forum)

The set you already have is great for a 10 person tourney if you use T200.
Start the blinds at 1/2
Start each person w/ 15 x $1, 17 x $5, 4 x $25.
You've got enough extra $5 and $25 to colorup the $1 and $5, and you've got plenty of extra $100 to support rebuys.

So if you want to add to your set, you could consider supporting other game structures:
a) more than 10 players?
b) low-stakes cash games?
c) higher T$ tournies?

Thanks for the feedback. I've also done a few searches and found even more info. I've come to the desicion to get around 250 of the Orange $.50 to be able to have small cash games, and also get the higher denom's for tourneys.
