Same set of chips for tournament and cash game? (1 Viewer)

[mnpokernoob1670]

Hey everyone. Getting the Royal Card Room chips for my cash game, but really love the bigger denominations of this chip and was thinking about getting a tournament set. Does anyone else have any experience with this? I would plan on keeping count if we play tournament games so I know how much should be in the bank at the end of the night. Just looking for some opinions. Thanks!

Conventional wisdom dictates having different cash/tournament sets (at least that are going to be used on the same night). Asking for issues otherwise.

Depending on what stakes your cash game is and what chips you use, can probably get away with running a T100, T500, or T1000 based tournament with the Royals. Not recommended, but not terrible. Would also keep a completely separate bank for cash and tournament.

Only planning on .25/.50 for cash games so at the most we will probably only get up to $25 chips on the rare occurrence.

This question comes up every month or two. Can you =yes. Will anyone advise you to do so = no.

You should be okay then. So long as no chip plays in both formats. Its also another reason why often both 20s and 25s exist. When this occurs you can have 25 for tournaments and 20 for cash.

for me if this was a home game set up. absolutely have 2 different sets (if you can afford it)

it basically comes down to its just more variety

These are fairly cheap chips, and I highly recommend spending a couple of days researching effective breakdowns and buying two separate sets for cash and the T500 tournament. Cash is easier, but you'll be surprised how smoothly a T500 tournament can run with minimal chips in your starting stack, which can save you some money.

Advice is always no. That said I did just this (as did three other of my friends) with a custom set of clay ASM (CPC now) chips for about 8 years….and we did a T 5 tournament using the $5 for my regular cash games and tournaments. On a tournament day I did use a different set for the cash games that broke out after.

In 8 years of hosting 60 tournaments and over 100 cash games we never lost a chip or had any issues. YMMV as they say.

A tourney set that can cross over to cash games? Let’s go! Versatility.

If you’re doing one or more the other then double Let’s go!

I have several chip sets but only one tourney set. It’s leagues below all of my other sets but I built it so I could pinch racks out for a cash game. I’m glad I did as we’re not really a tourney game.
