For a max 10 player cash game, I am considering chips to cover both nickel dime games as well as a 25c/25c or 25c/50c game. I have a super friendly game where everyone is comfortable buying in $10 at a time so we'll do nickel dime. Other nights we will do 25c/25c and have max $20 buy-in. I have another group of friends who are a little more serious and would only be interested in a $50 buy in 25c/50c game. I am aware I may be trying to cover too much ground with a single set of cash chips, but there's a lot of overlap, so I think it can be done with 700 chips. Please help me see any blind spots in the plan, I used the PCF calculator based on a 10 person game (usually will be 6-8 players).
Based on what I have, if I were to increase to 800 chips, where would they best be added? Or should I be okay with what I've got?
Starting stacks for each game type:
Based on what I have, if I were to increase to 800 chips, where would they best be added? Or should I be okay with what I've got?
Starting stacks for each game type:
- 5c/10c: $10 max with 15/17/5 of 5c/25c/$1 chips
- Exactly 150 of the 5c chips covers 10 players
- 170 25c chips needed for 10 players, get 200 to cover usage and higher levels <= workhorse chip at this level?
- 50 $1 chips needed to start, but will be getting 225 to cover the higher levels
- $5 chips may come into play but at this level and will have 100 on hand
- 25c/25c: $20 max with 16/16 of 25c/$1 chips
- Will have $1400 in bank to support this level
- If we want to go at least 100BBs I could also hand out a $5 chip to get to $25 but I hate giving a single qty chip if I can avoid it.
- Exactly 160 25c chips needed, but will order 200
- Exactly 160 $1 chips needed, but will order 225 <= workhorse chip
- Will need a good amount of $5 chips as well
- Will have some $25 chips but unlikely to need them at this level.
- 25c/50c: $50 max with 16/16/6 of the 25c/$1/$5 chips.
- Will have $1400 in bank to support this level
- Always give the 16/16 and top off with $5 chips up to the max $50
- Again, 160 25c chips needed but will order 200
- 160 $1 chips for starting stack needed, but will order 200 < also workhorse chip at this level? Is 225 enough?
- 60 $5 chips needed to start, but will order 100. Is this enough at this level?
- $25 chips will come into play, will have 25 on hand
