I am buying a new 1,000 piece set-up so I will have flexibility and never be short-chipped. My thinking for the numbers below is that I want people to start with a larger stack in the $100 cash games so they feel like they aren't short stacked right out of the gate. At the same time, I wanted enough chips to run a standard tourney of 1,500 starting chips with enough $100 to color-up half way through the tourney. I also wanted a few 50 cent chips in case I wanted to run a $50 cash game where I can set the blinds steady at .50 / $1
My chip set would include:
.50 cent = 100 chips
$1 = 400 chips
$5 = 200 chips
$25 = 100 chips
$100 = 150 chips
$500 = 50 chips
Poke as many holes as you want in my logic. This is the basic format I am proposing for all my future games which will be $100 no-limit/pot-limit cash game, $50 or $100 freezeout tourney, or if I feel like running a basic $50 no-limit cash game.
$100 cash game starting chips with blinds steady at $1 / $2
30 - $1 chips
9 - $5 chips
1 - $25 chip
This would allow for a healthy starting stack and enough chips left over for about 10 re-buys.
$50 or $100 tourney with $1,500 in starting chips
10 - $5 chips
10 - $25 chips
7 - $100 chips
1 - $500 chip
This would allow for our normal tourney structure and have enough $100 chips to color-up.
The occasional $50 cash game with blinds steady at .50 cents / $1
10 - .50 cent chips
35 - $1 chips
2 - $5 chips
This would allow for a healthy starting stack and enough $5 chips to put together enough re-buys
Let me know if you would change anything in the chip set to accomodate these types of games.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out in the thought process.
