Default Re: Chip Distribution

Beats me. You play mostly NL, or limit? Flop games only? Do you mix up the limits? What (relative) denominations are you planning on using for which chips? We use white-red-blue-green-black with an approximate 1-5-10-25-100 relative value. I believe grey is traditionally a $5K chip (a big jump from the $100 black) but I have no idea what yellows are.

Obviously, you'll need the most of whatever your blinds/antes are, but you'll need considerably more of those for a limit game. The second most common chip (and the one we're always short on) should be around 5x the big blind for NL games.

I'd get five colors, with at least some of whatever the "big" chip is so you have a little more flexability for the occasional tournament.
