What’s the best blind set up for 6-8 players tournament?
Thanks

Whatever your chip denominations and quantities can support.
You're welcome

@allforcharity makes a good point. What is your current chips situation?

 

[BPTDirector]

How long do you want it to last? How experienced or interested is your group. Is this for fun, or competitive? These things make a difference in addition to your chip setup.

I’ve got a 500 chip setup right now. I got there retired casino Chico chips

I used something like this when we used to play Tourneys. We knew we wanted to run 2 over an evening, and just set it from there. Was easy as at the time we just had NVC chips.

Sort of awkward, but it could work. Assuming those are stacks of 25, you could start blinds at .50/1, with starting stacks of $200.

Starting stacks for 8 would be:
.50 x 6
1 x 12
5 x 12
25 x 5

Should be plenty for rebuys and color ups.

Sorry they are stacks of 20, but yeah that’s a good start. Yeah I though Mr it was awkward with the .50 chips

Ok. I think those starting stacks still work.

Newcommer here, why would you have less of the smaller denominations? 6x 0.50 but 12x 1$ & 12x 5$?

That was my recommendation based on the breakdown of his set. Although I can always make a case for fewer of the smallest denomination in a cash or tournament.

I was asking because i'm looking to buy my first set but don't want small denominations & Chris manzoni's chip breakdown makes sense to me. 80x 25 + 80x 100 + 80x 500 + 60x 1000 + 40x 5000. table doesnt get cluttered with 1's & 5's & 10's. Looking for the tiki's or dia del los muertos to start. Don't have a "budget".

Assuming you’re playing single-table tourneys, that is the most efficient breakdown. I’d expand to handle two tables just to future-proof it.
