.25 - 8 chips
.50 - 10 chips
$1.00 - 8 chips
$5.00 - 1 chip

its add up 2 $20.00 which basically is $2000... just move the decimal point... hahaha... or do u think a higher value in chips is better???

It only really matters what you think, play the way that works for you.

At a glance, what you have listed seems like it should work just fine, but it is hard to say for sure without knowing a little about your game. How many players? Cash game or tournament? Set buyin or unlimited?

My denomination chips are in dollars, but I have no problem using the "divide by 100" method where the $5.00 becomes $0.05 and so forth. This way I can use one set of chips for just about any type of game I want.

By the way, welcome to the board. Poke around a bit and you will find a ton of nice people and great information.

I've been using the divide by 100 rule with my tourny set when I play cash games (which is 90% of the time). For a basic 500 piece starter set that can accomodate both .25/.50 cent NL cash games and T5000 tournies I have:

150 - T25/$.25
200 - T100/$1.00
100 - T500/$5.00
50 - T1000/$10.00

Starting $20 stack for cash games:
16 - 25c
16 - $1

Starting stack for T5000 tournies (up to 8/9 players)
16 - T25
16 - T100
6 - T500

T5000 for 9 - 12
12 - T25
12 - T100
7 - T500

T5000 for 13 - 18
8 - T25
8 - T100
4 - T500
2 - T1000
