Can you fine folks give me some input on what I've come up with for breakdowns? I think I've put off BCC long enough. I've got a couple guys looking at it but figured I'd run it by the masses while I wait.

I’m getting 3 sets (2 tourney and 1 cash (very low stakes))

There's usually around 10 guys. Both tourney sets would have T10,000 starting stacks broked down as follows:

12 x 25
17 x 100
6 x 500
2 x 2500

1st tourney set:

600 chips

160 T25
260 T100
115 T500
65 T2500


2nd tourney set has 650 chips--would need to be similar to 1st tourney set--just tweaked to add 50 chips. This is what was suggested for this set:

160 T25
300 T100
120 T 500
70 T2500

Cash set:

would need to be multi-purpose--LHE, NLHE, , 7 stud, probably some dealer choice stuff--all low stakes
650 chips

250 .05 chips
250 .25 chips
100 $1 chips
50 $5 chips

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Do you do re-buys in your tournaments? You have enough T25s to cover 13 players, but enough T2500s alone to cover 17 buy-ins. If you freezeout, you have too many T2500s. If you play low buyin tourneys and expect everyone to rebuy for the full T10000, you're right on, but you will also have to keep most T500s in play.

I like the T2500; it appeals to the logical side of my brain. The traditionalist in me prefers the T1000, T5000.

Having 300 T100s is helpful if you want to color up during play. You can get most T25s out this way to speed things up.

The cash game set looks ok. If you play fixed limit stud with an ante, you might be a little light on the low denoms. You will get tired of making change so much. Spread limit stud without an ante should be no problem.

Thanks the3rd. I'd like to have the option of re-buys, so I think I'll leave it as-is with your blessing.

Thanks again,

Russ, I suggest more $1 chips and fewer $5 chips in the cash game set.

Awww, but they're such a purty chip

Like 10 less 5's?

Thanks Kyle.

250 .05 chips 250 .25 chips 100 $1 chips 50 $5 chips

TOURNAMENT:
Considering 10 players - but go with a T1000 and T5000 chip.
Starting stacks 12 x T25 12 x T100 9 x T500 4 x T1000 (Rebuys or add ons with 2 T5000)

minimums
120xT25 150xT100 120xT500 100xT1000 20xT5000

If you go, starting stacks 12 x T25 17 x T100 8 x T500 4 x T1000 (Rebuys or add ons with 2 T5000)

minimums
120xT25 200xT100 120xT500 100xT1000 20xT5000

Fill out to make 600 with 20xT100 and 20xT1000 more.

CASH - what's the buy in? $10?
I recommend
200x$0.05 = $10
160x$0.25 = $40
200x$1 = $160
40x$5 = $200

Start with 20x$0.05, 16x$0.25, 5x$1 Basically get all your $0.05 and $0.25 in play with the initial buy in - reloads with $1s.

Looking good Russ! Those extra 40 blacks in the larger set seem unnecessary though, as the 39 extras out of 13 times 17 in 260 already color up 13x12 greens evenly. Maybe at least some of them transferred to 500s so that you have enough 500s to color up 26k in 100s? You could also have enough for 20 players if using 8x25, 13x100, 7x500, 2x2500, if you'd have around 150 500s. I don't know, 600 total seems plenty already.

I thought about asking confirmation for my own plans, but your tournament sets are quite similar, just twice as large. But I'll hijack your thread and post my breakdown too. I am myself planning on getting 330 chips to play mainly T5000 tournaments with maximum of eight players, but a few T2500s too to allow T10k stacks if wanted.

12x25, 17x100, 6x500 here also. 100, 140, 55 total. I'll save 20 blacks and color up greens with 500s, as I already have a lot of those work horse blacks on the table. Additionally 25 orange 1000/2000/2500s without face value that can do a lot. They allow 10k starting stacks for eight as T2000/T2500s, or use two for a rebuy of 5000, or they can just be thousands and color up blacks in heads up stage if wanted.. And then 10 grey bounty chips/5000s just to get a fifth chip design in. :)

Thank you Matthew. The trains already left the station on the 2500 chip though. If I was doing a 5 chip set, I would be all over it (maybe). Why so many $1s--to reload with, right?
