I am going to order a 400 chip set of Rounders in the GB and am looking for a little help for breakdown on the denoms. I am thinking I will buy a 400 acrylic bird cage for these to show them off, so my first reaction is to order the following:
all original colors
$5 X 100
$25 X 100
$100 X 100
$500 x 100
Four full racks to show off and perfectly balanced to the naked eye in the cage on the shelf.
I will also order oversized:
$1000 X 20
$5000 X 10
I may bump these up to 30 and 20 respectively (these won't be in the cage, I may make a custom wood case down the road for the whole set)
My breakdown thoughts are:
T5k starting stacks (9 person)
T5 X 5
T25 X 11
T100 X 7
T500 X 6
T1000 x1
I believe there should be enough T5 and T25 left to make a tenth starting T5K starting stack as well
I should also have 30 more T100 to color up T5 and T25 and 20 more T500 to color up T100 if ever needed.
Obviously I can do larger starting stacks with the extra T500, T1000, and T5000
My question(s) to you is: does four full racks make sense and are there better starting breakdowns using four full racks, or should I start with a better overall breakdown for my total chips?
Feel free to point out any errors in my thinking. We play a few tourneys but I have a 1000 chip YAK set that we use for 8-10 guys usually so I don't worry about chip efficiency (is that the right way to say that???)
Thanks
