Ok, I am reaching out to the pros around here for a little advice. First of all I am kind of excited and a bit scared since it looks like I got my first small set of TRK's. Excited because of what I have heard about them and scared that I may need to increase my chip budget.

I very recently picked up a small set which I should receive sometime next week. The set consists of 300 chips in the following colors.

160 - Blue
80 - white
40 - red
20 - green

Here are my questions.
1. If these were the last chips I am able to find of these, what denoms would you give each chip?

2. If able to expand this set what colors would the focus be on to get a larger playable set? I hope to get it to at least 500 chips. (If you have any solid scrowns let me know)

Info for use would be lowest stakes we play would be .25/.25 and play mostly $1/$2 NLHE. Usually between 7-10 players

I am not opposed to a set starting with nickles since I do not have one but I am not sure they would get used so I would say the lowest denom I should go with is .25.

Thanks,
David O

Well, depends on how your game plays...

If the game plays with a lot of quarters, the set is already in order ($.25-$1-$5-$25) and followed standard casino colors. If you think you'd play with more $1 chips, switch the blue/whites around, make the blue chips the $1.

160 - Blue
80 - white
40 - red
20 - green

IMHO, the set is not really big enough for a 1/2 game, using standard colors. Even a stretch mixing the colors up, having the blues be the $5 chips.

That is what I was thinking. I realized I would need much more for a $1/$2 game but if I could find a couple of racks of reds it at least becomes playable for that game.
