Need help buying chips - how many?

[TN_POKER_MAN]

I concur. Longer levels will help in that you don't have to always worry about having those low value chips in play

Heck, you could go with 1st round at 10/10 and forget the nickel chip all together. Then second round would be 10/20.

Besides that, you can spend your time playing poker instead of always wondering about the clock.

For a tourney set, I still like the idea of limiting the low denomination chip. I've found that the 2nd & 3rd level chips get most of the action and you'll need the greatest amount of these chips in your set.
