Chips for .50/1.00 limit?

[tubalkain]

I'd say that chip breakdown is good, but the color choices themselves are a little bonkers. If I was in your position, I'd go closer to standard colors so that in the future, if you get a bigger game going, your set will expand smoothly and your players will quickly adapt to any new colors.

0.25 Gray (300)
$1 Blue (400)
$5 Red (100)
$25 Green (design for later expansion)
$100 Black (design for later expansion)
$500 Purple (design for later expansion)

Bonkers indeed (still high about my new table), but I live in a small town with friends (and myself) not likely to ever make enough to ever play high enough to need a $25 dollar chip (at least at the home game: I like to 3-6 at the casino and hope to move up someday!). Hell, I'm having trouble convincing them to move from .25/.50 to .50/1.00. (I'm actually having to get new players.)

But I see your point -- I haven't yet ordered any chips, so I'll think more about the colors. And I guess green/black/purple just appeals to the nerd in me.

I justified using green/black/purple because, "This will be my tournament set one day" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I like the colors and everyone used to casino colors understands it innately. If you want traditional colors, use a yellow or grey for .25, blue for 1 (since we have already determined white chips sux) and red for 5, but you already knew that [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The white faux clays are pretty decent. The blacks are ok, and I'm quite fond of the green, red, blue and purple. Green/black/purple is a good enough combination.
