I've been convinced by the Creativity Cannon and the awesomeness of the Montecito Group Buy that my 200 chips 'travel set' needs with a more original set full of ceramic-y goodness.
My guess is that this would mostly be used for small NL tournaments. I really like the 1, 5 and 25 from the group buy so I'm going with a T100 structure, starting with blinds at 1/2.
Here's the breakdown I'm considering:
$1 x 100
$5 x 80
$25 x 20
With the likely 6 players that the travel set would be used for this would allow starting stacks:
$1 x 15
$5 x 12
$25 x 1
with some capacity for replacing chips (not really colouring-up but there are enough left-overs to get the 1's off the table easily).
In a pinch this could be used for up to 10 players with:
$1 x 10
$5 x 8
$25 x 2
with no capacity for colour-ups.
Any more flexible suggestions? I won't go above 200 chips as I already have two larger sets if I'm willing to go less portable. But I may be able to relax the maximum number of players that I can work with (I would probably be satisfied if it could cater to 8 players. Probably).
