I just got the rest of my NPS plaques and my formal plaques and was wondering how high I could reasonably go in a 10 man tournament. With the NPS set and plaques T=75,000 is very do able with plenty of chips to color up. Adding 2 formal 5000 plaques plus 15,000 in Chipco classics gives T=100,000 with 2 100,000 plaques to color up. Adding the rest of the formal 25,000 plaques plus a 25,000 chipco chip gives T=150,000 and adding the rest of the chipco classics gives T=200,000.


Before I go any further can someone come up a scheme for the starting tournament blinds at T=75,000, T=100,000, T=150,000 and T=200,000. I'm not that experienced in managing these numbers.

I would want to use more chips longer so I would include antes in these big numbers. Here I go:

T75,000
300/600
400/800
600/1,200
600/1,200/100 ante
800/1,600/200
1,000/2,000/300
1,500/3,000/400 * remove 100 chips after this level
2,000/4,000/500
3,000/6,000/500 ** remove 500 chips after this level
4,000/8,000/1,000
6,000/12,000/1,000
8,000/16,000/2,000
10,000/20,000/3,000
15,000/30,000/4,000 *** remove 1,000 chips after this level
20,000/40,000/5,000

That's 125 times the big blind starting stack. You could use the 400-800 level to start also.

For T100,000 I would use the above structure but just start a few levels down.

WHY!!! Why must you come on here and post pictures of such a gorgeous display of chips and plaques!!!

Honestly I am just jealous! Currently waiting on my custom Chipcos and for the bank account to recover so I can order some Formal plaques...

Man, with those chips, your blinds will reach into the stratosphere. I am also jealous too.

Very nice! I would love to sit down at a game with all of those plaques!!

"....Uh...well I will raise you 5 million." {pushes 100 50K plaques in}

I'm not a plaque guy, but those NPS chips sure do look nice. I remember how extremely disappointed almost all of those CT members commenting had when Apache Poker Chips first showed mock-ups. Glad they turned out great afterall.

Thanks Big Kyle. I decided to just go with T= 75,000 and start with 300/600 blinds and things worked out great. I wasn't getting any cards so I decided to try to bluff all in to buy the pot at the fifth level but one guy called. Oh well, the tournament is still going strong without me and everyones having fun.

The more I see the NPS chips, the more I like them! I'm still waiting for my sample set to arrive.. I think I might have to get a new set of chips after that

Great pictures, thanks for sharing..

I find myself coming back to this thread often to look at those NPS chips

I gotta stop doing this to myself!!
