I like the idea of all DG bases.... Saturn's a little too green for my taste
Undecided about yellow/white order

There is no wrong answer.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Make the grey spot charcoal and you're good to go

 

[slisk250]

If you are going to do 6 chips, you could go all non weighted including spots. The challenge is base color chip order and the amount of orange and yellow. I think you want to spread them apart a bit. Here is a possibility....no brass.

I like this but imo chicken is correct. I used to sweat the brass and mixing dayglo colors but not so much anymore. Very hard to tell weight difference in stacks of 20 esp since it varies by any color. Canary looks a little more saturated to me but dg yellow would be great too.

Agree with chippy and may as well go charcoal spot with this lineup. Ship it (y) :thumbsup:

 

[MikesDad]

Ok... back to Canary... it may not be BG, but I think it's a more true yellow than DG Yellow.
Also charcoal spots... thanks chippy

 

[MrBo]

Really liking this new line-up. I wouldn't rule out the DG yellow base, especially with everything else being DG. One of my favorite Bo Manor chips is the nickel, which are DG yellow base with a yellow spot. I look forward to low-stakes games with friends and family just to see them in play and enjoy their slightly different clinky-ness.

Also, I believe the 1k's from Mark's old tourney set were DG yellow, and I always liked those. I'd have to compare it to the canary in the sample set at some point, but I am definitely a DG yellow fan.

 

[AllinBallin]

Boom! You're welcome.

Damn nice work..I would lock and load on this right now if the wallet would comply!

 

[MikesDad]

My OCD influences noted that all of the chips have spots that are darker than the base except for the tiger/arc yellow chip so I had to mock up one more time. Pretty well convinced post #67 is the way I'm going to go, but here's one last possibility.

Tiger Base (#67) or Arc Yellow Base (below)?

 

[courage]

I like the tiger base, plus the benefit of better contrast if all chips are not light base, dark spots.

 

[krafticus]

The yellow and new chips are way too close. No mas

 

[MrBo]

The yellow and new chips are way too close. No mas

+1 DG Tiger all the way. And if you want a darker spot maybe try a red?

 

[BGinGA]

or dg orange, which is non-weighted and pretty dark.....

 

[Chicken Rob]

+1 more for tiger base.

 

[PhilLaFond]

Tiger

 

[MikesDad]

Played around with the idea of a darker spot on the Tiger-based chip (e.g. dg Orange as BGinGA suggested), but decided to stay with the chip colors from #67.. final answer.

Next order of business is chip quantities. The set has a 25K chip because I couldn't decide which chip to leave out and because I thought I'd like to do a tournament with deeper stacks than the typical T10k. Looking to keep the set at 1000 chips or less not including extras, sample sets

My first thoughts... I know there are others with lots of experience and insight who I hope will add their wisdom

Set -- 1000 chips
25 160
100 300
500 200
1000 200
5000 100
25000 40

20 players, one rebuy per player, T10K
Starting blinds 25 / 50
Starting stacks - 8 / 13 / 7 / 5
Leaving 0 / 40 / 60/ 100 / 100 / 100 / 40
More than enough for color-up and the 5 - 8 rebuys we typically get

20 players, one rebuy per player, T25K
Starting Blinds 100 / 200
Starting Stacks - 0 / 15 / 9 /9 / 2
Leaving 160 / 0 / 20 / 20 / 60 / 40
Should be plenty of 1K, 5K and 25K for rebuys and color-ups

Thoughts?

 

[Chicken Rob]

I don't understand the T25k structure. That's fewer big blinds per player than the T10k structure

 

[MrBo]

Agree with this. It's not so much of a deep stack as it is a "different stack" tournament if you start at 100/200. Imagine the first 5 levels:

10k
25/50, 50/100, 75/150, 100/200, 150/300 - players with a starting stack at this point would have 33.3 bb's

25k
100/200, 200/400 (no 25 chips for 150/300), 300/600, 400/800, 600/1200 - players with a starting stack at this point would have 20.8 bb's. And if you threw in a 500/1k level it's be 25 bb's.

Less time for us nits to fold our way to the bubble

 

[Chicken Rob]

For the 25k why not start with 8/13/9/9/2 and start at 25/50.

That's a deep stack I can get behind.

I'd like to do a deepstack like that... BlindValet calculates 6 hours with 15-minute levels assuming 5 rebuys of 15K

In any event, I'm more interested in breakdown for 1000 chips. I think what I posted in #77 seems to work

You could alternate light/dark bases...

 

[MikesDad]

In response to CPC's request for "pending" orders, I wanted to take another shot at a 1000 chip breakdown for the Happy Valley set now that J5 has started working on the inlay

I think this breakdown works for a T10000 with 1 rebuy/person and probably even with add-ons and also works for the deep stack T25000 Chicken Rob suggested above

Just to review..


Set -- 1000 chips
160 x T25
300 x T100
200 x T500
200 x T1000
100 x T500
40 x T25000

T10k, 20 players, one T10K rebuy per player, 1K bonus chip for arriving on time (addons someday?)
Starting blinds 25 / 50
Starting stacks - 8 / 13 / 5 / 6 / 0 / 0
Leaving 0 / 40 / 100 / 80 / 100 / 100 / 40
More than enough for color-up and the 5 - 8 rebuys we typically get

Deepstack T25000
Starting blinds 25 /50, one T25K rebuy per person, 1K bonus chip for arriving on time
Starting stacks -- 8 / 13 / 9 / 9 / 2 / 0
Leaving - 0 / 40 / 20 / 20 / 20 / 60 / 40
Seems like enough for rebuys with 5K and 25K chips


Other than buying more chips, any suggestions?

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

How about 180 T25 and 180 T500, just in case something happens to a couple of your T25 chips? Otherwise looks great to me.

I'm likely to order +5 for each denom for extras just in case...

 

[MikesDad]

just a quick bump before ordering to see if anyone else has any comments on the breakdown in post #83

This breakdown does not include the extras I plan to order

J5 working on the inlays... should be able to post completed set soon

 

[AWenger]

Cool. Just saw this. Overall bank with current breakdown is 1,834,000, which works great for 20 players with T25,000 starting stacks (500,000) + rebuys.

I'd suggest slightly fewer T100 and/or T500 chips and more T1000 and/or T5000s. That would even allow starting stacks of T30000 or T50000. I'd also suggest reducing the number of T500s in the starting stacks. (i.e. instead of 8 / 13 / 9 / 9 / 2 / 0, it could be: 8 / 13 / 7 / 10 / 2 / 0, or 8 / 13 / 5 / 11 / 2 / 0).

And I know I may be banned for even suggesting this, but you might even be able to make a 2 table tournament set work with 800 chips if you used starting stacks of 8 / 8 / 4..., but who am I to suggest less chips, so going with an 8 / 13 / x type of starting stack:

Current breakdown:
denom qty. bank
$25 160 $4,000
$100 300 $30,000
$500 200 $100,000
$1,000 200 $200,000
$5,000 100 $500,000
$25,000 40 $1,000,000
TOTAL 1000 $1,834,000

Alternative breakdown -- works with 8 / 13 / 7 / 10 / 2 stacks -- all rebuys & color ups done with T1000 & above
denom qty. bank
$25 160 $4,000
$100 260 $26,000
$500 140 $70,000
$1,000 260 $260,000
$5,000 140 $700,000
$25,000 40 $1,000,000
TOTAL 1000 $2,060,000

Here are some breakdowns from WSOP events -- they use fewer T500 chips in starting stacks, but may use T500s to color up T25 and T100.
- past WSOP 30k starting stack - 8,8,2,8,4
- another WSOP 30k starting stack - 12,12,3,12,3
- WSOP ME 2016 - 50k starting stack - 8/8/2/8/8 (pic)

WSOP 2016 Main Event 50k Starting Stack (source: Ben Barrows on Twitter)
8-T25, 8-T100, 2-T500...

 

[MikesDad]

I like the idea of fewer 500s, but also reducing 100s would mean having no 100s for color-ups with T10k 8/13/x/x/x starting stacks.
There would also be no 100s or 500s for color-ups in T25K with 8/13/7/10/2 starting stacks
and be many more T5000s than I need for both T10k and T25k tournaments

what about just rolling 60 of the 500s into 1000s for a breakdown of

160 x T25
300 x T100
140 x T500
260 x T1000
100 x T5k
40 x T35k
Totals chips = 1000, bank = 1864000

That's many more 1000s than I need for T10000 tournaments, but handles both T25k and T30k tournaments pretty easily with starting stacks of

8/13/7/10/2 for T25K (uses all the T25 and T500s)
8/13/5/11/3 for T30K allowing 100s, 500s, and 1000s for color-ups

Thoughts?

 

[chipjoker]

I like what you have in Post #70, I myself am a fan of the brighter colors..
