Hey, I know I've asked before, but I always like people's advice who have a little more knowledge on the topic.

I'm looking at a 20 person tourney, with no rebuys. I want to get 1000 chips of 25's, 100's, 500's, 1000's, and 5000's. What breakdown do you suggest?

Oh, I've got that coverd...be right back. Did this one for Feen666. You can add a few more chips to your stack by coloring down a chip, but just ,make sure to have enough to color it up.

How did we ever get by, before spreadsheets?

Chip Break out

25	240
100	400
500	200
1000	120
5000	40

Starting Stacks for a T5000 with 25/50 starting blinds and plenty of color up room
12x25, 17x100, 6x500 (35 chips).

You could easily go to a 10k tourney (aka WSOP) by throwing in a few 1k or 5k chips.

With these chips, you could also go up to 26 players with the following breakout
8x25, 13x100, 5x500, 1x1000 with plenty of colorups.


Here is my spreadsheet also

[smitty007]

Is there any reason to have so many more 100's than 500's? Or is it just personal preference?


What if I was to go with 12x25, 12x100, 10x500, 1x1000 for a T7500?

the bigger stack of 100's seems to be a "second denom stack bigger than the other denom stacks" kind of a thing.

Which I like. the small potatoes betting with the first few rounds clears out for the serious betting in the middle rounds, which is when the blacks start flying. (At least for me)

Is it more typical to have more 100's that 500's?

would it be weird if I was to go with:
240 - 25's
300 - 100's
300 - 500's
150 - 1000's
10 - NCV (I know this is not enough to color up, just using my 10 left over chips to make 1000 total)

and made my starting stacks 12x25, 12x100, 12x500?

What about without a 5000 chip?
