So for many years I thought about creating a CPC set that could handle a 5 table location at almost every stakes. Is this going to happen? No. Am I having crazy fun doing mockups yes. For simplicity Icelandic Króna is 1 us cent (close enough for this)
So first we need to established what this set would be used for. There are 4 groups this set would be used for.
So first of is the 10/20 game called Meat and Mead
10kr Chip is called Water, water is the beginning of everything, the sea is the path to adventures and rain starts life. Blue ofcourse
50kr Chip is called Mead, Mead, Mjöður or Beer is fun and very popular with vikings! Water leads to Mead is a nice touch also. Orange is fitting and the workhorse in this stake
250kr Chips is called Feast, with fun and Mead you have a festival! Its all fun and games at this stakes. Pink is the color of festivals!
Now we go up to 25/50kr game called Hope for glory
25kr chip is called Land, green for the earth and land and a good foundation color
100kr chip is called Hope, Hope can be a beautiful thing but also a dangerous one. White chip.
500kr chip is called Blood, at this stakes 500kr is a lot so it will make your blood boil if you lose one,
Then it is the 50/100kr game called Feast of death
Here we use the 50kr Mead and 250kr Feast chips but a new chip also enters and one of my favorite 2000kr Death
The thought of the set was to aim to skip 1000kr chips as I have always disliked having both 500kr and 1000kr in cash games. Similar to US 5$ and 10$ on the same table. The death chip was always going to be black and black chips are some of my favorite chips. I could have made the black chip more value but then It would not as often hit the table so here it is. It is scary at this stakes were the Feast will grow to have few death when the games get deeper.
In the same colors we have the Limit set Drowning in Mead,
Some would say the perfect death but limit is sometime death by thousand small cuts. With the orange being 50kr and black 2000kr this set could run most limit games I would possible host.
Then we have the main game in Iceland 100/200kr called Blood Money.
Now we are the level that Hope 100kr is not enough and to get progress you need to get your hands dirty! Blood 500kr is the workhorse here unless the game gets quite deep then Death 2000kr takes over. Also we needed a banking chip as the 100/200kr games in Iceland often get really deep. so
10.000kr Wealth, This chip is a glory chip, gold for gold.
Last but not least is the 500/1000 game called Valhalla.
Mix it all together, Blood, Death and Wealth you get Valhalla 50.000kr the purple royality that everybody dreams of.
And all together this is the set, feedback and ideas are much welcome but remember this is just for fun!
10-25-50-100-250-500-2000-10000-50000
So first we need to established what this set would be used for. There are 4 groups this set would be used for.
- First group is a micro stakes group, they currently play 20/40 with 2000kr buy in and two rebuys available per person. 50bb short stacks are not ideal in my opinion as these guys are loose with a lot of limpers so often 4-5 guys see the flop. I would recommend setting the stakes to 10/20
- Second group is the main group playing 25/50 easy to get three tables running in this range.
- Third group plays 50/100 and the fourth group 100/200
- Bonus is that 100/200 is the most played stakes in Iceland but some private groups like to play 500/1000 and rent places to do so.
- We want to be able to host 100/200 200/400 limit also
- The set is a viking theme set called Berzerk Island
- Each chip has a name fitting with the theme
- All stakes should be playable with a three chip combo (trio) with an option banking chip
- Each Trio should have spot progression
- Inlays are just placeholders
