  • Are those $ amounts actually written on your chips? Because if not I'd recommend changing them to 25/100/500/1000/5000 or
    100/500/1000/5000/25000 which is more standard and would make more efficient use of your chips.

    In casinos the convention of colours is

    white 1
    red 5
    green 25
    black 100
    purple 500

    If you run with standard colours you won't get screwed up when you go to a casino to play. People who come to your game will find it easier to fit in and it will make your game more popular for new players.

    100x to 500x big blinds is a good amount to start with.

    Why not start by playing cash games with .25/.50 blinds. Use blue chips for .25 and have everyone buy in for $50.
