Re: Advice on Chip Colors and Breakdowns for Home Games

Hello,

this article is definitely worth a read. However, I don't really agree on the tournament setup. Say you are hosting a T1000 Tournament with T5, T25, T100, T500 chips. The big blind of the very first round would then be 10 or 20. Now if you only have 10 x T5 per player, you can call exactly five or two big blinds until you need to make a change from another player. And this is only the first blind level, you'll have another 2-3 levels where you need T5 chips! Using a 4/3/2/1 or 3/3/2/1 schema would be way more appropriate here ... or do I miss something?
