Tourney Can I stretch this chipset to 6-7 tables? (1 Viewer)

[navels]

I have an opportunity to loan chips for an upcoming charity tournament but I'm not sure my largest set is up to the task. It would be my ACF hybrids:

320 x T25
380 x T100
220 x T500
300 x T1K
160 x T5K
60 x T25K

There is some flexibility on the structure. The host is wanting the event to run 6pm - 11pm. He is thinking unlimited rebuys until 7:30 but is not opposed to ruling out rebuys. Being a charity tournament, rebuys would be nice.

Let's say I did T10K stacks:

40 players: 8/8/4/7
5 players: 0/10/10/4

After coloring up the 25s/100s/500s that leaves (excluding some leftover lower denoms):

150 x T5K
60 x T25K

I believe I can use as many 5Ks as I want for rebuys, then. But what if there are 60-70 initial entries? Can I give 2 players at each table starting stacks consisting of 2 5K chips? Or should I rejigger the starting stack size? Or do I just have too few chips to pull this off?

@BGinGA would be perfect person to answer this

If it were me, and I wanted a lot of rebuys, I would consider T7,500 starting stacks.

Seems like you might want to start by dropping from 8/8/4/7 to 8/8/4/2/1 for the first 40 players so that you would have more flexibility with the T1000s to get 6 or 7 tables without sticking anyone with just T5000s.

I think you double your set of BTP Tournament chips.

...and then I might go with 0/5/5/2/1 for 12 more players and 0/0/0/5/1 or 0/0/0/10/0 for the rest, depending on how many people show up (the latter being capped at 71 ppl, and the former having room for up to 91 I believe), given of course that color ups and rebuys would require a bit of change at the table.

 

[Steppenwolf]

Not ideal, but definitely seems doable

Alternatively, you could just do 4/4/3/3/1 for everyone, have capacity for 73 players, and still have 81 x T1000s to color up T25 and T100s, (meaning some T5000s would have to be reserved to color up T500s in addition to being used for your rebuys).

Stacks with fewer than 8x of the two lowest denominations would be a multi-table disaster. The set just isn't big enough to adequately support more than 4 tables.

For a charity event with unlimited re-buys, I'd go with T5000 stacks (8/8/4/2), which leaves you with plenty of extra chips for color-ups, re-buys, and add-ons.

With 25/50 opening blinds, that's 100bb stacks, which is near-perfect for an event where the goal is to encourage loose play and lots of re-buys and add-ons to generate charity income, yet still deep enough where it isn't a shove-fest from the get-go.

I am in rare perfect agreement with you.

Dave you need to write a book.

I believe that's Iron-Y Man, but he is also known as "The Man".
