Hi all,
Looking to build re-labeled chipset as a gift for newly purchased family lake house. Since we play a mix of cash and tournaments, I’d like to build a set that can accommodate both.
Now, the obvious solution would be to get two, 600 chip sets and do two birdcages, But for the sake of saving some space on the shelf and keeping the cost down, I’d like to find a way to do a 500+500 cash and tourney set. So my question: Is it possible? Am I severely limiting myself by not doing 600+600?
A few parameters I’d like to try and follow.
Tournaments:
some initial breakdown ideas for tournaments (25/100/500/1k/5k)

A few parameters I’d like to try and follow.
Tournaments:
- 15-16player (2 tables of 8 or 3 of 5) would be the biggest the game would ever get. most likely it’ll just be 8-10 people
- Will probably use 25/100/500/1k/5k progression and so 5k-20k starting stacks. 8/8/4/7 is good with me, but more chips always better.
- Open to exploring the idea of a T100 base (does this make it easier for newer players?). Don’t think I’d use a BBA just because most players will be newer and these are just family tournaments
- For cash, will likely just be 1 table, and mostly mostly .05/.10, but may (1-2x per year) as big as .25/.25 or maybe .25/.50. A $1000 bank would probably be more than enough.
- Would like to use a $20 chip, regardless of whether I keep a T25 in the tournament set.
- Even if unnecessary, I kinda want at least a barrel of $20s for the fun factor.
- A: 100/150/150/80/20 - $992.5
- B: 100/200/100/80/20 - $955
- C: 140/140/140/60/20 - $880
some initial breakdown ideas for tournaments (25/100/500/1k/5k)
- 1: 120/120/80/140/40
- 2: 120/120/80/160/2
