Re: Chip Distribution
[ QUOTE ]
We have 800 hundred chips in 4 colors. We just distribute them evenly and make them all equal value. Sounds kinda weird but it works rather well.

It does sound weird. Hell, 80,000 chips of any color sounds weird for a home game. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Kona has a good point that I missed, Ken. I began using standard relative values because they were, well, standard. I didn't think about it beyond that.
Using standard chip colors/relative values is a good idea because even those who have never played poker before in their lives have probably heard that a black chip is more valuable than a blue chip, a blue chip more valuable than a red chip, etc.
It's confusing enough when you change the value of a black chip from $1.00 to $10.00 or $100.00. When you change the value of it from 20 red chips to something like 0.5 red chips, it causes all sorts of problems.
