Tourney 3 or 4 tables, how best to use my Grand Casino set (1 Viewer)

[GenghisKhan]

Hey tourney breakdown pros,
I've yet to use my Grand Casino Gulfport set after over a year owning it , but I am trying to plan a 3 or 4 table tourney.

I'm wondering what would be the best Starting stacks, and what you'd recommend for blinds and total tourney time. Never done multi tables before.
We usually play 1 table T5000 3.5 to 4hrs.
Was thinking of starting this noonish on a weekend to have lots of time.

Here is my chip breakdown. I am short on GC T100s, but have another 300+ T100s from my other sets we can use (GCR, Fun Nite, BCC Tmold). Up to you guys if you think I should use the 5s or not.

-175 x Pink T5
-178 x Red T5
-300 x Green T25
-152 x Black T100 (lets say 450 with others)
-238 x Purple T500
-152 x Orange T1000
-59 x Gray T5000

If you think I'm light on any other denoms for what you want to propose, I suppose I could add chips from either my GCR or Fun Nite sets.

What say you? (Thanks in advance) (y) :thumbsup:

Here is a great tool to use to help come up with break downs.
It is located in the resources section.

Not gonna be able to stretch it to cover 4 tables very easily - that would require 400 x T5 and 400 x T25 chips if using a T5-base structure, or at least 320 x T25 and 320 x T100 if using a T25-base structure.

3 tables is doable with what you have. I'd recommend ditching the T5 chips, and use the following T10000 starting stacks (200bb with 25/50 opening blinds):

8 x T25 (240 needed)
8 x T100 (240 needed, you'll need 88x from another set)
6 x T500 (180 needed)
6 x T1000 (180 needed, you'll need either 28x from another set, or use your extra 56 x T500s to fill out 4 or 5 stacks as needed)

You are one T5000 chip shy of being able to color-up the T25 and T100 chips (30k, need 60 x T5000), so you'll need either one more T5000 or another 5 x T1000 chips from another set.

If available, four or five T25000 chips will come in handy to color-up the T500s towards the end of the event.

Don't have it handy atm, but a decent blind structure for 30 x 200bb stacks that finishes in around 4 hours is definitely doable. Personally I'd recommend five hours or so, or longer if you and/or the crowd are up for it.

Thank you both! Did not know about that ressource. And put an ad for 25k chips.

The rest I should be good getting the extra chips from my other sets. For now.
