quick breakdown review please, 1 cash and 1 tourney. (1 Viewer)

[vanislander]

Hi All

I've read several breakdown threads, run these through the PCF chip calculator and that beautiful excel file created by @JScott . I'm confident, but hoping to throw it past the peanut gallery for insurance. I intend to buy both of these as a part of large custom order so adding to either set later could be problematic.

Quick notes. Both sets are intended to be the max capacity. Presently these games don't even exist, let along get 10 and 16 man turnout.

Cash set: $0.05/0.10 blinds, $10 buy in. 10 ppl max, intended as secondary table for guys who bust out of tourney.
.05x200
.25x200
$1x100
$5x50 (i know I dont need these at .05/.10, but maybe someday game gets bigger?

Tourney set: T5 base, 10/10/7/(2) starting stacks, 16 ppl max, no rebuys (more likely 8 ppl plus a few rebuys)
5x175
25x200
100x175
500x100

Let me know if I have missed anything, and thanks in advance.

Pete

Your cash set doesn't need that many nickels. I have that many nickels for running two tables at the union hall once in a while. Depending on the depth of people's pockets, you will need more singles and maybe 5s (my tables, we do rebuys in all 5s). For 10 player max, I would say

.05 x 100
.25 x 200
$1 x 200
$5 x 100

You probably won't need all 100 of the 5's, but I have had 200 singles on a .05/.10 table several times, and I would lose my mind if I was storing chips in less than a full rack

+1 on the fewer nickels.

If you haven't stumbled across it yet, this thread has a great discussion about "workhorse" chips, which in your case would be the .25 and $1 chips. Basically the idea is that you don't need a ton of the smallest and largest chips (one rack each), but you want to have lots of the workhorse chips (at least 2 racks each)

BTW, welcome to the forum from a relative noob in the Fraser Valley! If/when we ever get playing live again, keep in touch!

Your tournament breakdown works good for a 16 max.

Glad to hear you liked the spreadsheet. People using it to help with breakdowns was the intention of it.

I agree with @tabletalker7 on breakdown. It would work well for .25/.25 too if you have a tame game. We run a 25c max 6 game with a similar one and it's never gotten close to the bank.

And welcome to the forum! The Lower Mainland is well represented here.

Tourney set: T5 base, 10/10/7/(2) starting stacks, 16 ppl max, no rebuys (more likely 8 ppl plus a few rebuys)
5x175
25x200
100x175
500x100

Using T100 chips for T5 and T25 color-ups, you'll need the following for 16x T2000 starting stacks (10/10/7/2) with a 75% re-buy rate:

160 x T5
160 x T25
160 x T100 (includes 48x for color-ups)
80 x T500 (includes 48x for re-buys)
------
560 chips, or 412 chips if zero re-buys.

^^^ 560 chips, actually

Thanks everyone. I'll make the changes on the cash game and drop the count on the tourney set per BGinGA.

Ah, yes -- my old version spreadsheet totals rows for T25 thru T100k, but not the add-on T5 row. I usually catch it, but not in the wee hours. Oops.
