So many denoms ... enough chips?

Garyon · #1 (**permalink**) 03-26-2008, 12:21 PM

I am receiving a set of chips ... 500 chips and 50 plaques. The denominations are as stated below ...

Chips
--------
25c
50c
$1
$5
$25
$100
$500
$1000
$5000

Plaques
------------
$25K
$100K

You may have figured out that these are the result of the SunFly competition (thank you CTr's!

). Problem is... with so many denominations, which of course, I have to have some of each ... what kind of effective set(s) could I put together? I am guessing a small cash and small tournament set ... but .. how small?

I am willing to purchase some chips to fill in gaps as needed but would like the bulk of the sets to be from the awarded 550 chips and plaques.

I have been reading through a lot of these posts and to be honest ... it's like reading some sort of AstroPhysics thesis! So I REALLY need to be spoon-fed here.

any ... ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks!
Gary

Honestly, with such a nice design you made, I would suck it up and buy another 500...you'd still be getting 1000 chips at half price!

I know

... (BAD Gary ... BAD Gary) ... trying to budget-conscious though. (UNconscious is so much more fun).

Maybe get enough for one set now and fill the other in later ... ???

If you want cash set and tourney set to be separate, I think it's hard to get by with less than 700 chips.

Cash: 370 chips
120 x 25c
150 x $1
100 x $5

Tourney: 330 chips
80 x T25
100 x T100
60 x T500
70 x T1000
20 x T5000

That allows you to play 25c/25c, 25c/50c, 50c/1, and maybe 1/2 cash games and do a 10-player T10,000 sit-n-go with 8/8/6/6 starting stacks and one rebuy or add-on of 2 x T5000 per player. Obviously you can also do smaller tourneys.

Congratulations on your win. It was a long competition. Your chips came out looking great. As far as the denominations go, I agree with some, you might have to buy some more of your own chips to make it a true playable set. Cash and Tourney.

Order the tourney set now, and just a small sample of the lower ones until you can afford it.
