    Tourney Is there a benefit to 25/50 starting blinds?

    ...set is not one of those that qualify as efficient, unless one chooses to use T500 & T2000 denominations and exclude T1000 chips. A T.25-base set actually works best (T.25, T1, T5, T25) from an efficiency perspective. A T1-base set (T1, T5, T25, T100) works, but at a 5:1 replacement ratio...

    Tourney How to create a tournament structure?

    20x each of the two smallest denomination chips is really overkill for full tables (especially the 2nd-smallest). I'd recommend numbers of 10 to 16 chips each (10 or 15 chips if T1, T5, T100, T500, T1000, or T5000-base, and 12 or 16 chips if T.25, T25, or T25k-base). Yes, you can run events...

    Paymaster - Official Chip Pr0n thread

    Real rubber tire bounties would be awesome.... imagine stacks of 'em around the race track, just like a real venue. And you can easily play a great tournament with a T.25-base chip set. It's actually the most efficient way to do it. :sneaky:

    His Rule, not mine

    I don't think anyone is saying that a designer shouldn't be compensated for his work. Here's how I assumed it went down in any/all cases, before reading this thread: 1) I request a design from a designer, we agree on the fee...hourly, per chip, flat, whatever it is. Let's say hourly for this...

    Tourney Advice on Chips Needed for a $3K-$5K Tournament

    Not to start a debate on T1000vT2000, but 25/50 blinds with 20K starting stacks consisting of just four denominations (T25, T100, T500, T2000) works really well. And deep stack events using T.25, T1, or T5 base (or T1000 or T5000 base) don't require five denominations in the starting stacks...

    Help! Determining chip set denominations...

    I think you're fine if you do this if you're sure 9 players is your ceiling. If you anticipate any chance of going higher go for the 400 config. I am designing a set with a 600 chip config because I think 18 would be my absolute hosting ceiling. I am doing base T500 4/8/8/6...

    Tourney Is there a benefit to 25/50 starting blinds?

    After running calculations using the top chip in play and the next two highest to do all color ups, the results were not significantly different than coloring up each chip with the next higher chip. I think the big reason for that is those tend to affect all sets more or less equally, but there...

    1. I bought the Spades 39's in 2017 and haven't had a complaint from anyone under 55 years old about the denominations. My new ones are the Dia De Los Muertos 43mm which are clearly marked, and the LL Caruthersville. I also asked for the values on the edges of the Spades, even though most...

    ...100 denominations), where only the $100 chips are likely to be somewhat expensive (and you won't need very many). The other is to build a T.25-base set (.25, 1, 5, 25), using a cheap no-denomination chips as the .25s (can even re-label it as 25c), and purchasing relatively inexpensive $1...

    Tourney Lowest chip T5 or T25?

    Cannot believe I'm actually gonna say this, but.... The most efficient and economical tournament set - for nearly any size event - is a T.25-base set. It plays almost exactly like a T25-base set, but without the funky T500-T1000 jump. It has the more economical 4:1 exchange rate on the first...

    Tourney Lowest chip T5 or T25?

    Do you have the starting stack breakdown for this structure?

    Tourney Is there a benefit to 25/50 starting blinds?

    FWIW, here's what I think. Many casinos have gone to a T25 base is because when you have to buy chips for hundreds or thousands of players, the second lowest chip being 4x instead of 5x the lowest chip reduces the total number of chips you need. They also consider that the lowest chips come...

    Upgrading poker chips for home game

    Reading posts by @BGinGA on blind structure is very similiar to reading posts by Jack Fraser on quora about the mathematics of a black holes event horizon. I read it all knowing im reading something brilliant but I'll be damned if I understand it past the second paragraph.

    I'm sensing a slight bit of defensiveness from Worm regarding his current structure...... which is a bit odd, considering I haven't really responded here yet in detail. ;) But that's about to change. :D But totally in Worm's defense, his blind structure itself does adequately allow for a...

    Cash Game 1 large set for cash games and T1000 tournament

    Maverick, this isn't a complete answer, but will give you some guidance. Trihonda is right -- you need two different sets! He's right about using 4x to 5x the lower value, so you don't need 5 and 10; 25 and 50; or 5000 and 10000 in the same set. He's right about the standard with the 500/1000...
