| Re: Need Help with a 1000 chip set, Denom Breakdown Well, the bare minimum if you're using $5-$25-$100 chips with a 10-10-7 (T$1000) stack is 300x$5, 360x$25 and 210x$100 for a total of 870 chips. I would add 30 $500 chips if you can get them at a reasonable price for 900 total.
The most economical alternative would be to start with fewer $5s and more $25s, using the $5s for only blinds and limps. I prefer this approach. If you start with a 5-15-6 stack (T$1000), then you'd need only 150x$5, 480x$25 and 180x$100 for a total of 810 chips. (Again, I would add a few more $500s.) If you take this approach, then buying 1,000 chips would support 37 players. |
