Looking to buy new Poker Chip set, this is what I am thinking.

[PDXracer]

Might try this chip setup, that I can use for tournament play with up to 3-4 tables with rebuys, but also be able to use the denominations for cash play.

This is what I am thinking, and would appreciate some feedback on the breakdown.

40 x 10000
70 x 5000
180 x 1000
210 x 500
230 x 100
270 x 25

For Cash games the chips would represent these amounts
$25 = 25 cents
$100 = $1
$500 = $5
$1000 = $10
$5000 = $50
$10000 = $100

Doubtful with the games we play, would not be using the $100 chips much, and very rarely the $50 chips. I think this allows me the flexibility for cash games, but the proper chip count for tournament play.

** Also .. my budget for this set, is about $125-170, so need a few suggestions on the best chips I can get for this amount, whether its normal price or on sale.

Your best bet for that many chips under $200 is to contact Jim at the Chiproom for used roulette chips. You would either need to label them or play them without denominations. Even that is pushing it. ($.18-$.20 per chip)

Also, I'm not sure you have enough chips for 3-4 tables. If you fill 3 tables (30 People), at even 8/8/5/x you need 320 x T25 and 320 x T100. Probably 210 x T500.. which leaves you 150 chips for your T1000 and T5000 (which might not be needed anyway).

What about Joe's hotstamped super diamonds over here: http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/palm-g...available.html

$.18 per chip + shipping. Should have all of the denominations available too...

really the most I would ever do with this one chipset is 2 full tables, maybe a 3rd sometime

For a 30-max 1000 chipset (8/8/4/7 starting stacks for T10000), I'd get something like

245 x T25
245 x T100
145 x T500
215 x T1000
65 x T5000
85 x T10000

5 spares of each denom, 20 extra T500 for 20-max, 60 T5000s to colour up all the smaller denoms, 80 x T10000 for rebuys - you can cover a 30 player T10000 with 1 rebuy & 1 add-on (or a T30000 deepstack)

For 20-max you can do 12/12/7/5 starting stacks

For a more efficient set, you can always go"
T25
T100
T500
T2500
T10,000

I still don't understand the awkward desire for a progression that includes:
T100
T500
T1000
T5000

This also makes for a more convenient cash set the way you are going to use it.

I agree with this but imo a T2000 is more useful than a T2500 - it fits most blind progressions better.

Since you're using the same set for cash & tourney be careful that chips don't disappear from your tourney game and show up in your cash game. Just a word of caution.

Is there a need for the 10,000 chip? If you do a T10,000, you would only have 30 chips in play if it had had 30 people. I skip it and get more smaller denoms. Maybe get some 25K ones if you are doin a T100,000. I don't see a need for the 10K chip. I'd get more 1000 and 500's.
