What everyone’s favorite starting stacks for a STT home game? My normal is:

10xT100
6xT500
6xT1000
2xT5000

I slightly prefer 10/6/11/1 or 10/8/10/1 if doing rebuys, but I like lots of chips on the table.

10/10/7/2 I felt like chips around the number 30 is about the right amount of starting chips

T100- base, 10-max w/ T20k starting stack.

15/7/10/1. Just to be sure no one has to ask for change.

That or:

10x100
4x500
7x1000
2x5000

The 500 doesn't get used much and the 1k is the workhorse!

We like to play for a while, so we go with deep stacks. T30K.

T25 x20
T100 x20
T500 x15
T1000 x10
T5000 x2

This works well if you have 1 table (I would trim some of the amounts if it was a MTT) and you enjoy a good amount of chips.
T100 base, start stack 100K deep stack re-buy/addon tournament for 6+ hours.

T100 x 20
T500 x 6
T1000 x 15
T5000 x 11
T25000 x 1

What is a good starting chip count and distribution for a cash 1/2 blinds and also a 2/5 game?

I think about it a little differently. The question I ask myself is: How many 1s do I want at the table? My preference is 200, so I give one player 200 1s and the rest in 5s. All other players get 5s, they can make change at the table.

When I'm out of fives after enough rebuys I start handing out 25s. If a new table opens, I once again give 200 1s to one of the players.

I don't see the reason for starting stacks in cash games. But that's just me

FYI, my cash set us budgetet for 2 tables with 200 1s and 400 5s per table, and a bunch of 25s and 100s to cover the bank.

When I do a $1-2 game tonight buy ins will range from $200-$500. I give everyone a barrel of $1s and the rest $5s.

Sometimes the $200 peeps get two barrels of $1s so they “feel” like they have MOAR.

Thanks for the insight
