Sitting Out
Que pasa Cabrones
My family and I have always used dice chips when hosting a home tournament. Over ten plus years of poker games, the denominations have been as follows:
White: 5
Red: 10
Green: 25
Blue: 50
Black: 100
We have Always done blinds like so:
10/20 < 20/40 < 30/60 < 40/80 < 50/100 < 100/200 < 200/400
I understand that these colors and numbers are not typical (white is usually 1 and red is usually 5, there’s no 50, etc) especially for a tournament.
The blinds are also abnormal from what I’m seeing on this forum.
While this structure is familiar to me and works quite well, my question is about using a set of chips with 25 as the lowest denomination. I’d love to snag a tournament set with chips with values of 25, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, but I have no idea what starting stacks would look like or How blinds would work. I have read some threads about tournament structure but it’s all a bit confusing and different from what I’m used to.
Also, wouldn’t having two chips like 1000 and 5000 lead to having to make a lot of change? Similarly 100 jumps to 500?
Please inform a new chipper
