Default Re: Chip Distribution

To handle the ring games, I have 900 chips plust extras

175 blues (antes for NL/PL), 475 white, 250 red, 125 green, 50 black. I don't use the greens that much and the blacks hardly ever

For my tournaments, which are 35 players+, I have

475 red and green, 450 black, 250 purple, 175 orange and 100 gray (with the blues as needed for $T25K). That allows me to handle starting stacks in the $T thousands or $10K+

I wouldn't switch color values either- match them to the casino colors your group is familiar with.

Also, I would be careful about switching back and forth using the same chips. An extra black in a tourney isn't going to kill you. An extra black held out FROM a tourney that resurfaces in your cash game, however...
