One thing I hate with normal tourney chip sets is the progression from 500 to 1000. I have read a lot from people who have tried T2000 and T2500 chips, and talked to a few of them, and have decided that is not the answer for me.
So I was inspired by the super high roller bowl with starting stacks of 300k. Got excited, looked at the chips and they start at T500. Seems stupid.
An obvious solution would be to start with 600k chips and just double everything, then I wouldn't need T500.
I've never really designed a tourney structure. I have only played a few live tourneys in my life despite 20 years of poker behind me. So, I propose the following tourney chip set:
1,000/5,000/25,000/100,000/500,000.
That would make the super high roller structure into:
(BTW - the super high roller bowl website computes percentage increase wrong, I have corrected it here)
Anyone have any thoughts about this? Is the super high roller structure generally well liked by those that play it? I'm kind of out of touch when it comes to tourney stuff.
If I do this, what does a good start5ing stack look like? What do they use in the SHRB?
Thanks for any help!
