Re: 500 chip set: how to choose quantity for each color chip?
Here is the chips distibution that I picked for my NL tournament set:
Color Denom Chip Count
Yellow 1000 10
Purple 500 35
Black 100 125
Green 25 180
Red 5 150
You only need enough Reds (lowest denom) to get you through the first few rounds, then they are colored up anyway. The Greens are going to be on the table the longest and are the real work horses because you need enough to start the game and color up the Reds. I'd go with 3/4/2/1.
My starting chip distribution for a T1000 tournament is 15 Red, 17 Green and 5 Black.
If we have a game with 11-16 players, the chips distribution changes to 10 Red, 10 Green, 7 Black. We need to change Reds a little more often, but it's still quite manageable.
By the time you are coloring up the Greens, you can use either Black or Purple to take the Green off the table so you don't need as many.
