I want to build a tourney set, and I'm having trouble deciding how many chips to buy. I totally prefer to have full racks of chips, so multiples of 100 are my first choice, but I could also live with multiples of 50. I am not interested in anything less than multiples of 50 (150= OK, 160=not OK, 200= OK).
The available denominations are: $5/$25/$100/$500 (let's assume I can't get any $1k at the moment).
I would like to be able to accommodate 10 with re-buy, up to 18 freeze-out. Lots of chips on the table is a good thing The chips I'm looking at get progressively (much) more expensive as the denominations increase, so tons of $500s will be difficult -- but I am committed to getting at least 50 of them, per my "multiples of 50" rule
I don't really care what the starting stacks are. T2000, T2500, T4000, whatever works within the parameters above.
I'd like to keep it to 700 chips or less. What should my chip break-down be?
What about:
200 x $5
200 x $25
200 x $100
50 x $500
That would give me T2000 with 18 players (starting stacks 10/10/7/2), without too many extra chips, and multiples of 50.
Is that a reasonable breakdown, or what would be better?
Oh, one other thing. It would be nice if the break-down would be attractive to other people as well. Who knows, I may want to sell this set that I'm building (hey, it could happen, ha ha). So I would want the breakdown to be something that would be fairly universally acceptable (at least not universally found to be useless).
So 50-minimum rule, and universally loved
