Tourney 70 player tournament (1 Viewer)

Need ideas for starting stacks for a tournament this big, how many of each chips, rebuys is going to come into play, also bounties if that matters.

 

[BGinGA]

T25-base set, 8/8/4/7 starting stacks for T10k (100bb with 50/100 opening blinds). 2x T5000 chips for re-buys, T5000 chips for T25/T100/T500 color-ups, T25000 chips for T1000 color-ups.

@BGinGA Awesome Dave , so how many of the T5000 and T25000 would you get

 

[T_Chan]

For tournaments of that size I like T5K. 12/12/5/1 or 8/8/4/2 though I like the former as it gives players more chips. More chips makes for looser play

5x T1k are good for rebuys early on, then move up to just a single T5k chip.

BG's recommendation is good too for T10k.

so how many of the T5000 and T25000 would you get

T5000 chips for T25/T100/T500 color-ups, T25000 chips for T1000 color-ups

So with @BGinGA 's reccomendation, each stack would have 8* T25, 8* T100, 4* T500, so this part of the stack represents T3000, times 70 stacks in T210k or 42 T5k chips for color ups. Plus 2 T5k chips for each expected re entry. So that would be 70 more chips for a 50% rebuy rate to 140 chips to cover 100% rebuy. So grand total, you probably want between 120-200 T5k chips based on your expected rebuy rate.

For T25k he is suggesting enough to cover the T1k chips in play. 7k per starting stack times 70 is T490k. 20*T25k=500k so 20 is sufficient.

The tournament would presumably end with the T5k and T25k chips in play, which would be about 140 between.

So overall the totals needed are
T25*560
T100*560
T500*270
T1K*490
T5K*120 (assuming 35 rebuys)
T25K*20
Total=2020

Good luck.

This post is amazingly helpful along with @BGinGA , so for that thank you very much. Is there an option that works just as good with say 1500 chip breakdown?

I appreciate the compliment. Sorry to give you a tougher opinion on this question, but 1500 chips over 70 people is just over 20 chips per player just for starting stacks before considering color ups and re-entries.

8/8/4 (T25/100/500) is really the minimum you should have in small chips in a base T25 setup, and that only gets you a T3K starting stack. No matter how you slice it, I think you really are going to need 2000ish chips for this big of a field.

If you wanted to get the same effective stack you could start your blinds at 25-25 and to a T5K starting stack.

Then you would need 8/8/4/2 (T25/100/500/100) for starting stacks. Multiplied by 70 that's

560/560/280/140

To color up all of these chips I would suggest an additional 70 1K chips for the T25 and T100, and then 30 5K chips to cover the T500s. Plus an additional T5K chip for each expected re-entry. (35 - 70 based on if you expect a 50 or 100% re-entry rate)

This would mean a purchase of

560 * T25
560 * T100
280 * T500
210 * T1000
90 * T5000 (to round it up)
-----
1700 chips.

The structure would then start as follows
25-25 (200 BB)
25-50 (100 BB)
50-75 (67 BB)
50-100 (50 BB)

So starting at 25-25 with a T5K stack would be roughly equivalent to 25-50 with a T10K stack. But you do have to create blind levels that are not in a 2-1 configuration. Not that the 2-1 blind configuration is a hard and fast rule or anything.

This at least gets you closer to 1500.

Hope it helps.

Thanks so much, I owe you a beer

I wouldn't, but you could introduce the shunned T50 chip, and replace some T25s, and also reduce some T500s.
Using T25/50/100/500/1000/5000, your starting stacks could be 4/2/8/2/3/1 for a T10000. That's 20 chips per player, or 1400 chips for the starting stacks. Add T5000 and T25000 for color ups.

Personally, I'd buy more chips instead, but I did the above once when I was in a pickle (more players than I had 25s for showed up), and it kinda worked.

Remove the T5000 to follow the advice above and you're down to 19 per player.

I'm the middle man for this purchase, trying to not lose them to $3200 in poker chips when they don't even play poker.. haha using my chip obsession to hold events for these guys to gain business. They love love the idea. So I was weighing options
