The Perfect Chipset?? --amounts of each color

[memphis_aces]

Why do people INSIST on getting too many different denominations?!?! I just don't get it... If you have to color up more than once in a tournament you're doing a terrible job of organizing it.

IF I were designing a set of 700 chips for two purposes (cash game and tourney) I'd set it up like this:

• Green $25/25c (325)
• Black $100/$1 (325)
• Yellow/Gold ($1000/$10) (50)

---------------------------------------
3-TABLE NL TOURNEY SETUP
---------------------------------------

30 people each get:
8 Green ($25)
8 Black ($100)
1 Gold/Yellow ($1000)

That's $2000 in chips.. blinds start at 25/50 and double every 20-30 mins.


-----------------------------
CASH GAME SETUP
-----------------------------

We play .25/.50 blinds in a $20 MAX NL RING GAME

One Table... Buy in for 20 and get:
8 Green ($2)
8 Black ($8)
1 Gold ($10)

You can drop the Golds to $5 in this case if you prefer... Overall this gives you enough chips for about 40 buyins of either tournament or cash game play.....

Even if you get stickers with values ($25/$100/$1000) on them, people will be smart enough to move the decimal 2 places to the left in their heads.... $25 = .25.... $100 = $1...etc
