Hey peeps.
Just looking for some quick advice/sanity check with my idea for a chip breakdown of the forthcoming Apache Majestic Card Room chips. Firstly, I would like this set to be very flexible. I want to be able to spread a decent range of micro/low stakes cash games AND tournaments. I know that I should have a separate tourney set(and I do), but this is likely the only set I buy this year. I can hear you all laughing at that last statement already.
My thoughts are to buy a 600 blanks and have non denominated labels made. My reasoning behind this is to start with a 0.05/0.10 cash game and have the ability to scale the chips up without having to buy a new set or have any unused chips.
I have also been lusting after a Big One For One Drop style tourney set for a while now. At one point I had over 1300 hot stamped Paulson solids that I cleaned by hand. I sold them once I realized that I'd probably never get around to scraping and labeling them all.
Anyhow, I'd like this set to be able to play a half BOFOD stack for 8 players, which is the table max for that tourney. For those who don't know, that would mean a breakdown of:
25-1000
25-5000
14-25,000
10-100,000
Per player.
That means a set of:
200-1000
200-5000
120-25,000(8 for T1000 color up)
80-100,000(+10 possibly for T5000 color up?)
I could also do stacks of 20/16/8/6 for more than 8 players and 10/8/4/3 for up to 20 players with plenty left for color ups.
So, using the BOFOD style stack I could do this for cash games as these will be non denominated:
120 blind chips(T25,00 tourney)
200 workhorse chips(T1000 tourney)
200 big bet chips(T5000 tourney)
80+biggest chips(T100,000 tourney)
I know that 120 blind chips isn't necessary, but I feel like this is a good compromise for a flexible set.
I understand that the chip scaling from cash to tourney could be problematic but these will mostly be used with a small group of very close friends. Otherwise, others are very unlikely to ever see/use these chips.
Am I just friggin nuts or do you think this could work?
P.S. sorry for the long post
