1500 chip tourney....

40 $5
20 $10
20 $25
6 $100

5-10 starting blinds....

color out the 5 & 10's when blinds hit 25-50

color out the 25's at 100-200

(the $10's aren't necessary, but I like to get more color into the game)



cash games 1-2 or 2-4....i just use the same chips, but unless they buy-in >$100, they just use $1's and $2's

86 chips per player? plus colorups?

seems...excessive. how many players and how many total chips do you have?

Oh, it is...

8-14 players, usually...

about 2500 regular chips, + 500 1's and 500 2's for the cash games

Sounds like I would need a short handled shovel to bet at your house....
All ..... grunt IN............
All right that typed out worse than it sounded in my sick sick head.

[RTBrandy]

well, I color out the 5's and ten's when the blinds hit 25-50

then it's just 25's and 100's

when the blinds go to 100-200 I color out the 25's...add in some 500's

then it's just 100's and 500's

Got to use all the chips, man!!

I always thought it would be fun just to give out a full rack of chips for everyone's buy in; everyone would start with one of those monster stacks you see on TV.

Not very practical but different. Personally, I'm all about quality (purples, yellows) versus quantity (reds, greens).

I have to say this sounds pretty cool. A bit excessive, perhaps, but it's always fun to have a big stack of chips in front you. This way everyone gets that chance right from the get go. I might try this on Saturday. -m

Just ran the numbers for my tourney set. I could actually do a T4000 with 10 people using the following counts

5 x 40
25 x 40
100 x 18
500 x 2

and still have enough chips to left to color up 5 to 25, 25 to 100 and 100 to 500.

Might be a nice idea to try for a small tourney. Could even go deepstack and start at 5/10 or 5/5.

Yeah, and remember to use your legs when you push all in, not your back.

Would love to do this too. gonna check my dice chip count now...........
