The big blind sits two seats to the dealer's left, with the small blind directly between them. The chip sets on this page each include a dealer button plus big blind and little blind buttons, so every position stays marked as the button moves after each hand. For more on the blinds, see our Texas Hold'em guide.

A 300-chip set is usually enough for up to about six players, and a 500-chip set comfortably seats six to 10. The Texas Hold'em chip sets on this page come in both sizes. Chip count matters because each player needs a stack spread across several colors to bet and make change, so size up one tier if your guest list tends to grow.

Good gift ideas for gamblers who host card nights include a complete chip set, a four-deck card shoe or a leatherette dice cup. A chip set runs a poker game straight out of the box, while a card shoe or dice cup rounds out the setup. For someone who already owns chips, add a pair of stackable 100-chip trays or a replacement aluminum case.

To play Texas Hold'em with a chip set, give each player a balanced starting stack with more low-value chips than high-value ones. Build each stack from three or four colors, and note that the sets here carry more white chips than green or black. Keep spare chips of every color in reserve so you can trade many small chips for fewer large ones as the blinds rise.
