Picked up a new set because I loved the chips but I also knew the chips didn’t naturally fit using all the chips. I’m OK with that - just loved the chips. Would like it to play STT and maybe MTT.

Denominations:

100 chips x 100
100 chips x 500
100 chips x1000
100 chips x 5000
100 chips x 25000
100 chips x 100000

I have more on the way but I want to play these before I get them as well. Eventually it will be:

80 chips x 25
180 chips x 100
160 chips x 500
160 chips x1000
160 chips x 5000
160 chips x 25000
100 chips x 100000

Any suggestions on starting stacks and blind structure?

Try to get some more T25…

Starting stacks are either
8/8 8 T25 and 8 T100
Or
12 T25 and 7 or 12 T100

And the have fun w the rest of the denoms.

Then try different starting stacks and different blinds. Always save your tourney blind structures. Write down how many players you had, if any rebuys and how long it lasted so you can compare with other starting stacks.

I like deep stack events with 30-40k and if necessary aggressive blinds near the end. Even 100k for a fun high limit tourney.

Search tournament blinds and @BGinGA to get some good examples.
 
For T25, I like 12-12-7-10. For a T100 base set, I like 10-8-10-7 or 15-7-10-7. Add bigger chips as needed.
