Hi guys! Can anyone give me some advice. This is a new live poker format for me and I can't figure out if I need chips of higher value than these? There are 1000-$1 and 200-$25.

Do I need $100 or $500 or are the chips I have enough?
How often do you use them and have the third level denominations been useful at all?

I bought it to offer my family a new format of play. :-)

You're doing great just as that sits. Typical buy-in for a $3/6 limit game would be $60-200, so just the chips in your pic represent 30 $200 buy-ins. I can't imagine needing more than that. And if you're playing $2/4 then you've got even more depth there.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Does it make sense to buy an extra $100?
Or will it be for my ego? :-)

If you play a limit game in a casino there are typically only 1 or 2 small denominations on the table. So, if you were to add you should just get more $1 chips...for fun. Other denom would be a 50c chip if you wanted to just play $1/2 limit and would want the 50c chip for the small blind only...1 rack or less is sufficient if you were to add a frac like that.

Think of the green chips as simply giving you more bank/racks of $1, so you've got 50 racks of $1 chips represented by your greens already...plenty of depth.

And, for the record, I support what you're doing here! I picked up 1600 $1 Majestic Star chips for a limit set myself. (I also have some $5/$25/$100/$500 just because.)

Great analogy, I never thought of it, that the bigger chips can be thought of as smaller denominations. Thanks for writing that! It doesn't make sense to have more than 200-$25 chips that way.
I can get $100, but I hate when chips just sit in a closet.

Yep, so if someone is on a heater and running over the table and your $1s are all in play you can throw that guy 4 $25 chips to reclaim a rack of $1s for someone else to buy back in.

If you are looking for a way to justify a barrel of $100s, you can use it as the buy-in. If you have a socializing period before the game, folks come find you and buy the $100 chip. Then when seated they trade it for racks. But, if you do the buy-in at the table, this is unnecessary. Here is a screenshot from Manzoni's video on limit and you can see he includes a barrel of $100s in his setup:

The goal is for this to become a custom limit set with over-labels. Now that I have the chips, I just need the label design! Thanks to @TheJestyr for the value chips that match the HSI 1a chips so well. Of course with 2900 chips, not sure if I’ll ever need value chips!!

Please tell me you're only relabeling the 500s... I've done about 5 or 600 relabels and that was bad enough.
