Chips: 379 | | | n00b question: How many rebuys should I account for? Highest stakes I've played so far have been $1/$1 NLHE with a $50 buy in, so my custom set has been more than adequate. However, I'd like to fill out the higher denoms and want to make sure that I order enough chips to cover rebuys.
I like a single table game with 7-8 players. Currently, my new breakdown will allow for $3/6 NLHE with a $300 buyn (8 players) and up to 16 rebuys (2 per player). Should this be enough? |

Should this be enough? | So you are saying you have 16 rebuys ($300) right? If so I think this should be plenty unless you have a ton of reckless folks at your game. Sometimes thats not so bad... |

Chips: 1,700 | | | Re: n00b question: How many rebuys should I account for? If you've set your stakes correctly that should be enough. I rarely have a player re-buy more than once. You do want to account for any future adjustment to stakes though. I currently have .25/.50 blinds but want to be able to cover up to 2/4. |

Chips: 232 | | | Re: n00b question: How many rebuys should I account for? I would think so.
In our games, rebuys average around 1 in 3.
So 8 handed we might see 2 or 3 rebuys, our game is pretty slow.
We play limit in our cash games, are you playing No-Limit?
If so I would see a need for more rebuys |

Basically, I just want to future-proof my set. |

What's your break down?
I currently use my Turf Club chips for our cash games:
10 cents x 400
25 cents x 400
$1 x 100
$5 x 75
$10 x 25
but would like to see what you'd use for higher staked No-Limit game |

After expanding my 600 chps set to ~730, I should be able to handle up to 4/8 with a $400 buy in and up to 15 $400 rebuys.

Chips: 379 | | | Re: n00b question: How many rebuys should I account for? Current Breakdown:
128 x $.25
200 x $1
200 x $5
72 x $20
This breakdown can handle up to 1/2 NLHE w/8 players, $100 buy-in & up to 16 rebuys. Starting stacks for this game would be 20 x $1, 16 x $5. The first 3 rebuys would be make up of 20 x $5. The next 13 would be 5 x $20. Proposed Breakdown:
128 x $.25
200 x $1
200 x $5
140 x $20
60 x $100
This breakdown can handle up to 4/8 NLHE w/8 players, $400 buy-in & up to 15 rebuys. Starting stacks for this game would be 15 x $1, 17 x $5 and 15 x $20. Rebuys would be 4 x $100. Now that I think about it, the new breakdown could also handle a 5/10 HLHE game w/8 players, $500 buy-in and up to 10 rebuys. Starting stacks would be 20 x $5, 15 x $20 and 1 x $100. Rebuys would be 5 x $100. Quote: |

Your setup sounds sane. Once you get that high I think people expect to play with cash also so you can just set a "$100 only" rule.

Reload = cash game
Are you talking how much you'll have in play in a cash game?
