We are approaching 25,000 chips. Going to have to break out the Ship Master 2000 tape dispenser. :

Do you need your label printer back? :

Still possible to update chip count?

I'm not trying to speak for OP at all but ordering is open until midnight (11:59pm)EST tonight, so I'd imagine it would be possible.

I like this much better than your previous stack or set breakdown. However....

You do not need those extra 40x T100 chips, nor the extra 60x T500 chips. It is inefficient to use either as color-up chips, since both will be subsequently also removed from the table. For that reason -- along with the fact that T1000 and T5000 chips will be future workhorse chips later in the tournament -- either T1000 chips or T5000 chips (or both) should be allocated to color-up the T25, T100, and T500 chips. Also for those reasons, T25 and T100 chips (and arguably T500 chips) should not be used for re-buys, either -- you are merely adding chips into play that must be later removed. A two-table T10000 set will never require any T25000 chips for color-ups (which is not to say that one shouldn't buy any for other reasons).

base set:
40 x T5 (assuming these are for use as bounty chips)
160 x T25 (covers 20 players)
160 x T100 (covers 20 players)
80 x T500 (covers 20 players)
180 x T1000 (covers 20 players, plus 36x for color-ups of T25/T100 chips, plus 4x spares)
10 x T5000 (includes 8x for color-up of T500 chips, plus 2x spares)
-------------------
630 chips

Adding 20x T5000 chips also allows for ten 10K re-buys (about twice as many as needed). If wanting additional chips to make larger starting stacks, then bump up the T5000 counts (by either 20x, 40x, or 60x for T15K to T25K stacks x 20). Adding 10x T25000 (includes 8x for color-up of T1000 chips, plus 2x spares) will cover the larger stack sizes, and adding another barrel of 20 chips (along with those previously-mentioned 60x extra T5000s) allows monster-sized T50000 stacks for 20 players.

Putting all of those together, you get:

enhanced set:
40 x T5 (assuming these are for use as bounty chips)
160 x T25 (covers 20 players)
160 x T100 (covers 20 players)
80 x T500 (covers 20 players)
180 x T1000 (covers 20 players, plus 36x for color-ups of T25/T100 chips, plus 4x spares)
70 x T5000 (includes 8x for color-up of T500 chips, 60x for re-buys and up to T25K stacks, plus 2x spares)
30 x T25000 (includes 8x for color-up of T1000 chips, 20x for up to T50K stacks, plus 2x spares)
-------------------
720 chips

Which is far fewer chips than your proposed 880 chip set above, and yet capable of far, far more.


And if you've fallen into the OCD full-racks trap, then you might consider:

gluttony set:
100 x T5
200 x T25
200 x T100
100 x T500
200 x T1000
100 x T5000
100 x T25000
-------------------
1000 chips

Well the man has spoken while I was working out some numbers, but I'll just post anyway to add my agreement.

Okay now I'm thinking...

Stacks:
8 x 25
8 x 100
4 x 500
7 x 1000

Set:
40 x 5
160 x 25
200 x 100
100 x 500
300 x 1000
60 x 5000
20 x 25k

Don't need more 100's than 25's or any 500's for color ups. Color up 25's with 1k's. Rebuys with 5k's.

40x5
160x25
160x100
80x500
(160-200)x1000
(60-80)x5000
(20-30)x25k

should be pretty close, and maybe on the low end of those ranges.
Or you might revisit 12/12/5/6 starting stacks with this comparatively trimmed down strategy.
@BGinGA should be able to get you sorted more exactly.

 

[Gameface]

Thanks!

 

[FDLmold]

I've filled a MFRB. So tempting to fill the LFRB instead.

Updated Totals.
Next price break on the T5K reached. If you already paid, credit will be given on your balance payment. Thanks!

 

[Jambine]

20 x 25,000 (Don't really need these, but in for a barrel just because)

Me too, same reason.
Glad you made it !

 

[ejot]

12 more T25K and 97 more T5 ... and those would then be cheaper at the next price break qty. (y) :thumbsup:

I just ordered enough T25k to put that into the next tier, and 40 of the T5.

Still have to add the sample sets and at least 1 or 2 more orders.

 

[ejot]

Maybe Andy Beal will pop in to order some T25K for a limit cash set and unlock our full discount.

Too many hundreds. Twelve per player is more than enough to start with. You can get a way with as few as eight. Remember that as players bust out the chips become more concentrated in fewer hands. Half way through the average stack will have 34 hundreds in it. You'll get real tired of coloring up that many chips.

 

[v1pe]

Dang! Let's hope this order and Apache's new chip pre-sale/order does something to wake up GPI to the home market potential...

26,689 x 8 grams = 215 Kg or about 474 pounds.

I hope @Tommy has been doing his curls and bench presses regularly!

 

[Fleming]

Just placed the order for my single table high roller set:

100 x T500
100 x T1000
100 x T5000
100 x T25000

Looking forward to these. Should be a unique little set!

Time for that post-game last minute rush of orders to hit, just sayin'. #gothirtythousand

Ordering is now closed.
Will update with final numbers once I get the sample set totals from @Psypher1000.
The T5 to T5000 ended up at 85c. The T25K at 87c.
If you already paid, credit will be given on the balance payment.
Thanks!
