Missed one of my favorites: 20-player T.25-base tourney set (8/8/8/x): 160 x T.25 160 x T1 180 x T5 100 x T20 (or T25) --------------- 600 chips Can be used for actual-cash-value tournaments, or as a single-table cash set (where $100 bills can play if necessary).

A T.25-base tournament set (T.25 T1 T5 T20/T25 T100) works great; in fact, it is much more efficient than a T25-base set. It can also be used for actual-cash-value tournaments, eliminating the need for separate cash and tourney sets.

Absolutely. The T.25 set also totally bypasses the odd 2x tourney chip jump from T500-T1000, and allows the use of $20/T20 chips in lieu of $25/T25 if desired. Many more T5s will be needed than typical T500 numbers, but this usually isn't an issue for most cash sets and $5 chips.

Imo, a T100-base tourney does play a little differently than a T-25 base event, especially if using a BBA (some differences physically, some psychologically). It's also perhaps not as flexible if wanting to create a blind schedule with really slow perentage progressions.

...320 total chips. A 50bb stack is 10/10/2 = T5, and a 100bb stack is 10/10/7 = T10. You won't need chips larger than T5. A 10-player T.25-base set with 200bb starting stacks (12/12/7/2 =T100 with .25/.50 opening blinds) will require: 120 x T.25 120 x T1 100 x T5 (includes 30x for T.25/T1...

You omitted the T.25-base numbers: First level: .25/.50 200bb Starting stack: T100 Denominations: .25, 1, 5, 20 (or 25) Tight qty: 8/8/6/3 (25 chips) Loose qty: 12/12/9/2 (35 chips) Progression: 4x/5x/4x Clearly superior. :)

As addressed earlier, T1- (and T5-base) structures include a number of blind levels where the bet size math is not easily handled by players. Increments of 25 and 100 are much easier for most human brains than are multiples of 5. Another downside of T1- and T5-base sets is the larger number...

I like a T-25 base because the blind levels for much of the tournament are whole multiples of a hundred or thousand.

Super helpful info to hone in on ideal starting stack from a smooth gameplay + efficiency consideration.

Interesting. I done the same thing with my last CPC order. I have $20's that I use for my T1000 tourneys that have a base T$5 chip and I have $25's that I use for my T10,000 tourneys that have a base T$25 chip. MOAR chips are better!! I am doing the same on my next order. I like variety in my...

Been a minute since I was running down tournament structures. I enjoy owning multiple dual use sets to run cash sets as tourney sets. My Casablanca set runs T5 base 2000 stacks (200bb) or T25 base with $2000 chips for 8000 stacks(160bb). Making the T25 essentially T.25 based. It doubles as a...

T25-base, followed by T500-, T100-, and T.25-base. Have never liked how T5-base plays.

For an 8-player T.25-base tourney set, go with 12/12/5/11/1 =20k stacks, requiring these chips including re-buys and color-ups (actual order # in parenthesis) 96 x T.25 (100) 96 x T1.00 (100) 40 x T5.00 (50) 90 x T10.00 (100) 30 x T50.00 (50) ------------ 352 total chips (400) You can use the...

Whatever T-base works fine as long as you know how to build the starting stacks and blind levels. For a T500 starting stack I’d go with 15x 1 17x 5 8x 25 2x 100

...four colors can be used to represent: • 5c, 25c, $1, $5 for 5c/10c and 10c/20c games • 25c, $1, $5, $20 for 25c/50c and 50c/$1 games or T.25-base tournaments • $1, $5, $25, $100 for $1/$2 and $1/$3 games or T1-based tournaments • $5, $25, $100, $500 for $5/$10 cash games or T5-based...

Thanks, I did exclude that because I do believe tournaments should be whole numbers. However if there is an exception that's valuable this is it. It is fundamentally different than T25 because the "natural chip progression" (0.25/1/5/25/100) does not have any 2x jumps unlike T25 and as you...

Appreciate the completeness. I do have that hangup about using fractional values in a tournament, but I do agree by the measures I put forth it does appear to be a great option.

$10-20 buyin will mean playing at a stake of 5/10c to 10/20c stake. And most common Tourney started at T5 / T25 / T100 which don’t share denominations with the cash game so trying to get both cash and tourney within 500 chips is going to be super inefficient. You can either increase the number...

Any main reasoning for disliking the T5-base? Just too small of stacks (10/10/7/2)?
