Tourney T20,000 chip breakdown. (1 Viewer)

[Mike2023]

Hello everyone,

First let me start of by saying thank you to everyone who as helped me out over the last couple of week. I have been flip flopping over what I want to do and I think I have come to the end as I want to commit to the boardwalk group buy.

So, we run a 12 player monthly game 90% of the time, but I would like the option to jump to a 20 player game in the future. I figured planning for a T20,000 12 player game would allow me to drip down to a T10,000 if we want to bump up the players.

I have attached the structure that I have planned, please feel free to poke holes in it.

I plan to buy 800 - 1000 chips, whatever works best for what I have planned.

I would also like to make up a few custom plaques for shits and giggles.

What do you all suggest for doms and starting stacks? I would like to see people start with 40 to 50 chips for the 12 player game.

Thanks everyone, as always. This community rocks!

This is the chip breakdown I have come up with.

Small change,

This would better handle a 20 player game if and when we move up to that way.

Welcome to PCF!

You're pretty close, but you can probably cut down the T500s. 12/12/3/7 is a pretty standard T10k starting stack, and you can go with 12/12/3/7/2 or 12/12/3/11/1 if you want to play deeper . With tournament sets, you build player capacity with the lower denoms and depth (and rebuys) with the higher denoms. You can't easily just play a smaller stack when you increase the number of players. Something like 200/200/100/200/100/0 should work pretty well for you. The T20k isn't going to come in handy, for so few players. Just drop it entirely.

My thinking on the 20k was a 1 chip rebuy situation, but probably not the best idea.

Thanks for the advice

4 chips isn't much worse to handle, and it lets you make change with a few different players if you need to. It wouldn't be a terrible plaque denomination though. 10 or 20 would be enough, I'd think.

I agree, updated

I would drop the 5k down to 100 and give yourself 25x20k. Cool to have in the set

I can spare 25 100s. Might be an idea.

Looks pretty good. You could probably drop to 175 on the T100s too. Starting stacks are going to be 12/12/... or 8/8/... depending if you're stretching the set. You don't want to color up with the new smallest denom anyway, so might keep those denoms even. Some T20k would be a better use.

With this breakdown I can run a 12 player 12,12,5,11,1 and have 31 rebuys or addon with the 5ks. And I can run 20 player 8,8,4,7,2 with up to 41 rebuys with the 20/5ks.

So I'm thinking about this for the schedule. Trying to figure out Antes or not. I could add the 25 / 50 but figured its not needed with the T20,000 starting stack
