Tourney Should I acquire more chips (1 Viewer)

[sergiophil]

I have a set of Cc dunes. I was wondering if I should get extras for my tourney set.

I normally host t5000, t7500, and t10000. My group normally likes to play couple tourneys a night, so I try to limit the blind levels to 15 or 20 minutes.

Here’s the breakdown of my chipset.

200- t25
300- t100
100- t500
100- t1000
25- T5000
T5000 is our normal event we play, but breakdown is 12,12,7 usually depending how many players come. I’m looking to build the set for a bigger multi table set-up. 20 to 30 people. But our norm is around 20.

Just curious on your guys thoughts.

Glad you got the chips and hope you like them.

I used them for a t5000 set but with much less players and planned for a couple rebuys during first hour. My starting stack was 16-11-5-1 because I like to have more t25 per player. I think most here do the 12 t25 though to spread the set further. That obviously won’t work if you have 20 or more players.

I have an excel sheet I use to calculate how many chips in stacks vs what’s in the case. It might help you decide what you’d want to do. I will see if I can host it somewhere.

T10k would require the most chips, so I'll look at that. Anything that works for the T10k should work for the smaller tourney's as well.

For 30 players at T10000, I'd likely use an 8-8-6-6 breakdown. I wouldn't go less than 8 chips per player for the T25 and T100.

Minimum
240 x T25
240 x T100
180 x T500
180 x T1000
nn x T5000 for rebuys (if necessary) or colour ups.

Since you might have to buy in rolls of 25, that gives
250 x T25
250 x T100
200 x T500
200 x T1000
100 x T5000

Total of 1000 chips. The set would also accommodate 20 players with 12-12-5-6.

There's an argument to be made for 8-8-2-8 due to the small jump from T500 to T1000. So, you'd have
250 x T25
250 x T100
100 x T500
250 x T1000
50 x T5000

Total of 900 chips, although you might want more T5000s for colour-ups. The set would also accommodate 20 players with 12-12-3-7.

Yes. I haven't even read any posts in this yet. But no matter what they say, yes you need more chips.
