Chips for .50/1.00 limit?

getting 2k of the same color is very very bad advice.

I like the concept of buying tons of a single low-denomination chip. I set up my nice chips to be flexible -- .50/1.00 through about 5/10. It turns out that one of the groups I play with is uncomfortable even at the .50/1.00 level, so I decided to put together a nano-limit set.

I thought about it and decided that instead of getting three or four different colors, I'd just buy a big bag (1000-2000) of one color and use those for nickels. I think -- especially for very inexperienced "social" players -- that it's a lot more fun to have giant stacks of chips in front of you, and take down giant pots, even if those stacks and pots aren't worth very much in terms of real dollars.
