T1500 Tourney
10xT5, 10xT25, 7xT100, 1xT500 = T1500 to start

Buy 80xT5, 100xT25, 80xT100, 40xT500 and you're covered with a few rebuys.

If extra players show up, change to 5/7/3/2 to start and you'll be tight, but OK to 12 players.

It would be helpful to know what your structure is T100? T1000? and what your blind schedule is...

Asking for chip breakdown suggestions without that info is kinda like putting the cart before the horse.

Depends which chips you like. You could either go with 5-25-100-500 or 25-100-500-1000. I prefer the higher denoms, and a Pharaoh's set is what we use for tourneys.

You can easily support 8 people with 300 chips. Here's a set that supports 10 people/rebuys:
80 x $25
150 x $100
40 x $500
30 x $1000

We use a starting stack with fewer of the lowest denoms, making the $100s the workhorse chips. We start with $25/50 blinds, and the green chips end up being used mostly for limps and blinds. You can get more players for your money if you don't buy too many of the lowest chips.

We have a nice T$5,000 tournament with this starting stack:
8 x $25
13 x $100
3 x $500
2 x $1000
Total 26 chips

You can color up the greens early in the tourney, and even color up the blacks if you wish.

thanks for the advice

If you are using a standard aluminum case for your chips, you can fit another 24 Paulsons in there (24 chips per row) so you can add a few more 500 chips if you wish.

i would be doing 100$ 500$ and 1000$ chips and would probably do a T10000

[Low_Card2]

also probably 6 men not 8

T10K Starting Stack

20- T100
14- T500
1- T1000


Buy
140- T100
100- T500
60- T1000

Then you got some room to play in case somebody brings a friend.
