I am looking at getting a 1,000 chip set...I will be using them for home tourneys of 10-20 people...the amounts I am looking at getting are...

300 red T5's, 300 green T25's, 200 black T100's, 100 yellow T500's, 50 purple T1,000's, 50 brown T5,000's

How does this sound? Should I drop the T5's and get more T25's and T100's ?

Thanks for your help!!!

skip the 5s...they're just trouble.

i recommend skewing your set upwards.

what i'd do:
240 x 25
400 x 100
200 x 500
150 x 1000
10 x 5000
1000 total

stacks for the full 20 players at 10k each:
12 x 25
17 x 100
6 x 500
5 x 1000
40 chips total

when you have less players, you fill out the stacks with more 25/100s.

jojo's looking out for you. His breakdown is what I'd do. You generally want more lower denom, and fewer high denoms, and as few colors as you can get away with.*

*Of course if you want more colors so you can either
A) Roll around in them or
B) Be able to field different breakdowns (T250, T1000, T10000, T25000)

then welcome to Chip talk, you've got our kind of sickness!

where can I buy 10 chips though? I thought most places wont let you get less than 50 per color? Any suggestions? Just buy those seperate?

what kinda tourneys do you run?

if you run t1000 tourney, you will need the t5 chips.

a t2500 tourney would be the minimum in order to get rid of the t5s

Thanks guys! I am going to go with Jo Jo's breakdown, and buy an extra 240 T5's so I cover more bases!
