Waiting List
Hello everyone,
I have been lurking this wonderful forum for quite some time but thought I would take the plunge and get some valuable insight. I have recently upgraded my set of poker chips which I primarily use for board games, to a beautiful set of 300 Apache Bank chips. My current breakdown looks like this:
This set is perfect for any board game and almost any 18xx, at least the ones I play. After using them I love them, and I want to expand the set to be able to accommodate a 10 person poker tournament. Since we can only order in minimum of 25 it makes my numbers a bit weird, since a friend and I originally ordered together and we traded chips to match what we wanted (which is why I have some that are not multiples of 25)
So after crunching some numbers of the calculator this is where I netted out. (Also note I do just want to get at least one barrel of each denomination even if they aren't as useful, since I love the color schemes.
So for tournaments I play T5k which is a breakdown of 8x 25, 8x 100, 4x 500, 2x 1000. We also play with unlimited rebuy's up to blind round 6 usually. In past games the most number of rebuys we have had was about 6-8 across all players (multiples from same person in most cases)
With that here is what I am proposing to fill my collection with. The poker specific chips will be about 400, in addition of the other 300 I already have, with some of the overlapping.
From players with experience, do these numbers look like they will accommodate my needs? My idea was if the game was intense with lots of rebuys I could always supplement with the 50's in addition to 25's and use the 2k's as well. I don't want to get way more of any one denomination than is needed because I would rarely if ever host more than 10 players at a single game.
Thank you in advance for any help.
