Need Help On How Much Of Each Color

[ThePopinjay]

I am buying 650-750 chips from Tabasco's awesome custom chipcos. So there are six colors:

White - Heart
Red - Diamond
Green - Club
Black - Spade
Blue - Star
Purple- Joker

I have no color preference but want all of them. I will be running mainly tourneys but also cash games. Can anyone help me out here?

I ordered (so far):

White x150
Red x100
Blue x0 (5 colors is enough, star is nice but doesn't fit theme)
Green x100
Black x100
Purple x50

It's the same ratio of chips I have in my current set, except I have blue instead of green right now. My set has always been sufficient, so I figure why mess with success.

I may change my order amount though, can't decide...so if anyone has any other suggestions, that would help!

I got 600 of the Egyptian chips in the following breakdown:

50 $1 (white)
200 $5 (red)
200 $25 (green)
100 $100 (black)
50 $500 (gold)

This should be more than sufficient for tourney usage and ought to be doable for cash games, too. For low limits, just divide every value by 100 (so the white chip is a penny, red is a nickel, green is a quarter, etc. etc.) The only shortage I could foresee is if there is a large 2/4 or 3/6 limit game going where there aren't enough white chips but, as I generally play no-limit, having a ton of reds and fewer whites isn't a problem.

Are those egyptian chips still available?

That's another gorgeous set!

I don't think so; at least, not at the price I got them for. If you're interested, PM TenPercenter-- he's the guy who got the whole thing set up (and did an excellent job at it).

Thanks. I already put in an order for the suits, so I'm probably all set. I kind of prefer the flexibility of not having denominations on the chips. But those Egyptian ones look like one SWEET set!
