I'm thinking about a small cash game set of chips (300?) to be used when the guys bust out of the main tourney game, and I'm not really sure which way to go with the chips. I'm thinking about .25, .50, $1, and $5 denoms. Also I don't know which brand of chips, other then something that looks good. As always I go to the experts with these sort of questions. So you guys fire away on what you would do.

Thx

If you are going with only 300 chips or so I would loose one of your denominations and go with 3 max, 2 would probably be even better.

Maybe do 200 $0.25's and 100 $1.00's or possibly switch out the 100 $1.00's for 75 $1.00's and 25 $5.00's.

ditch either the .25 or the .50, I like:

180 @ .25
100 @ 1.00
20 @ 5.00

depeneds if you really need the .50 or lower. if you play .50/1 then you should go 150x .50 125x $1 25x $5 maybe. if you do 1/2 then possibly 200x $1 100x $5 maybe..

You should defintely lose one of the denoms. I would go with what others have said: .25, $1, and $5 for rebuys

My cash set has .05, .25, $1, $5, and then some $10, and $25 for rebuys when I have 20+ players over, then each table can choose the game they want to play .05/.10 NL, .25/$2 Spread Limit, .25/.50 Kill Game, etc., etc.

(of course this set also has 1500 chips which is not what your looking for!)

As an exclusive cash game player myself, I suggest either using just 2 or 3 denoms as others have suggested. Use either just $.25 and $1.00 or add a few $5 (10 or 20) if you think you are going to need the $5.

I would agree with many of the above posts. Go with at most 3 denoms for a 300 ct set. I have a custom set of ASM's comming and I went with 600 chips and only got .25, $1 and $5 chips.

In the future if I ever need to I may add a $20 or $25 chip, probably the former, that way it will never be confused with a tourney chip and its simple to give someone a $20 chip for a $20 bill for a rebuy.

I am very close to pulling the trigger on a purchase of some more faux clays to use as my cash set. The breakdown I was looking at was 100 $.25, 150 $1, and 50 $5. This will give be around $450 if all the chips were on the table at once (almost double what we have ever had on the table in the past).

sounds like a decent set.

getting the faux clays will make it easy when you move up in limits by getting more $1's.

This was the breakdown I was going to suggest.
