Texas hold'em chip count

[azygos2]

i just got a new chip set for my poker night. it is 150 white, 100 blue, 100 red, 100 green, 50 black. If i play tournament style holdem with 5 people total what should be the chip values and quantities per person?

Thanks alot.!

I personally would suggest giving everyone 200 TC (tournement chips).

White: 1 TC
Red: 5 TC
Blue: 10 TC
Green: 25 TC
Black: 50 TC

Everyone gets:
25 White
15 Red
10 Blue

The green and black can come into play later as the blinds increase. I would change the obsolete chips (white and red) for green and black once the blinds increase.

This is just a suggestion for you, and I hope it helps.

Blinds should probably increase levels as such in:
1/2
2/4
3/6
5/10
10/20
25/50

I would increase the blinds every 30 minutes for a 3 hour tourney.

P.S- Some people like using larger numbers ( I don't know why, it doesn't matter). If you like you could multiply all the TC by 10 and everyone starts with 2000 TC.
