New to all of this. Wanting to start hosting some games (micro cash games and/or $25-$50 tournament games) and don't understand the difference between running Cash Games or Tournament Games.
A few questions:
-Do people often use one set of chips that can do both cash and tournament games? I understand that I would need quite a few different denominations if this were to be done right. Is it a better idea to have a set dedicated to the micro cash games, and a different set for tournament play?
-If I can do both games with one set of chips, can anyone give a breakdown of, # of chips and denominations?
-Is it common for tournament games to keep blinds (say $1/$2) throughout the game, or would I always need to increase blinds every ~20 minutes, like more threads I've been reading?
For my micro stakes I am thinking:
100x 5c
200x 25c
200x $1
100x $5
50x $20/$25 ($25s would make more sense if I was trying to use the same set for tournaments, right?)
Thanks for any help, and sorry if these questions have been asked before. I've tried searching around the forums before posting.
