Tourney 140/60 or 160/40?? (6 Viewers)

1k/5k breakdown for a T25 base set. Which top half do you go with?

I don’t follow. @BGinGA

40 chips is 200k. I would think that should cover most stacks, pending starting stacks and players

Trying to be efficient with this one as a “special” set.

Would just be an STT that could cover 2 tables if needed. But mainly just an STT.

200/200/100/X/X

Was leaning towards 160 on the 1k for more workhorse, but I rarely run a tourney at this current time in my hosting so unsure if that’s correct thinking.

Even with my 36 player tournaments with 10k starting stacks, I'll probably only get 40-60 5k chips in play. I mean, if we run longer, and I pull ALL the 1k chips off, I'll use 80-ish chips

That’s about good enough for me to hear. Thanks Mark.

Depends on how many rebuys you expect.

I lean toward 160/40.

Looking at a T25-base 16-player field with 20k starting stacks (12/12/5/6/2), the set needs:

192 x T25
192 x T100
80 x T500
124 x T1000 (includes 24x for color-ups)
40 x T5000 (includes 8x for color-ups)

Adding five 20k re-buy stacks (0/0/0/5/3) adds 25 more T1000s and 15 more T5000s.

That puts the top end numbers at 149/55.

So I'd do 200/200/100/140/60 (first four re-buys get 0/0/05/3, any others get 4x T5000).

But if trying to stretch the set to cover 25 players with 20k stacks (8/8/4/7/2), you will need:

200 x T25
200 x T100
100 x T500
175 x T1000
65 x T5000 (includes 15x for all color-ups)

So that means 200/200/100/175/65, and that is with no possible re-buys, add-ons, or larger starting stacks.

Just 20 players at 10K stacks (8/8/4/7) will require either 160/160/80/160/8 or 160/160/80/140/12 (all color-ups using T5000), excluding any re-buys.

Fwiw, most of my 2-table T25-base sets are configured as 200/200/100/200/100 = 800 chips for the extra flexibility.

Thanks Dave. Helps a lot to see that laid out too. I do love the 5k chip in this set so the moar approach I may have to consider as well.

I also added a 20 player 10k breakdown above. I think 140/60 is probably your best option unless you expand to 800 chips.
