800 Chip Set Breakdown

Going to be using this for both a cash game and tourny set. I like to play either .50/.50 or .50/$1 (depends on if the girlfriends play) for the cash games and we usually start out with T4000 freezout with blinds starting at 25/50. We usually have between 6 and 12 people. What do you guys think of the breakdown below.

Cash Set:
.50 - 120
$1 - 180
$2 - 50
$5 - 50

Tourny Set
25 - 120
100 - 180
500 - 80
1000 - 20


I know the cash game might be a bit short for rebuys and such but I thought we could always use the T25 for $25 if someone gets a big stack and we can use him to make change.

What do you guys think?

Just for the cash set, there's really no need for you have $1 chips. I'm assuming the typical raise in your .50/.50 is $2 and the typical raise in your .50/1 is $4. You can take the 180 chips you would have used for $1's and apply them to more $2's and $5's...that would alleviate you being short for the rebuys, and that's what I'd do anyway.

Re: 800 Chip Set Breakdown

Tourney set looks perfect.

For the cash set consider eliminating the $2 chip.

A nice 400 chip set for $0.50/$1 is

80 x $0.50
200 x $1
100 x $5
20 x $20

or

100 x $0.50
180 x $1
100 x $5
20 x $20

Re: 800 Chip Set Breakdown

just to give you variety....

here's another suggestion for the tourney set:

your distribution, assuming 12 players with identical setup, would be
8 x t25 13 x t100 5 x t500

with just 8 t25's you will run out of those chips after 3 orbits of the table at 25/50. that will lead to some change making at the table.

with a distributions such as:
12 x t25 12 x t100 3 x t500 1 x t1000
you should have enough t25 chips to last 2 orbits at 25/50 & 3 orbits at 50/100 before running out of t25.

that would make your breakdown:
150xt25 170xt100 50xt100 30xt1000
(including extra chips for colouring up)

as for the cash set, what's your usual buyin? is lowish like $20-$40 or higher like $50-$100 or more?
