Tourney 1k/2k starting blinds... (1 Viewer)

[Wils]

If you wanted to get your large denom chips into play, would you consider it stupid/inconvenient/daft etc to get them into play by giving everyone a 200k (100 bb) starting stack and the first blind level being 1000/2000 instead of the usual 25/50?

I know some would hate just because it doesn't follow standard tourney process, but is there anything else going against this? Is the maths harder or do you compensate for the larger amounts? Etc etc btw not too bothered about following tourney etiquette as we rarely enter casino tourneys.

Just wondering, because there's a set I have my eye on but the nice chips are all 1000+ denoms.... I could relable I guess, but then I mess up colour systems (I'd like that to be consistent with colour standards, at least) and I'm waaaay too lazy.

Yes I am going to do this with my CPS set to change it up. Probably will do 1 million stacks to start instead of my usual 10k and just multiply the blinds by 100. I have to give it more thought but that is what popped in my head a while back.

Ha ha yes. CPS chips with you too?

Two possible starting stacks for me with 40 to 50 players. My purple are 500 and blue is 100k.

Nothing wrong with this approach. Depending upon your high denomination value chips, it plays exactly like an event using T1/T5/T25/T100/T500 denominations (all you are doing is adding three zeros to each chip value). There are a few published blind schedules for both here on PCF.
