I've noticed a couple of mentions here and there of people making up rebuy stacks using the highest denom chips. For example, in a T10K with a starting stack of 12/12/5/6 the rebuy stack would be a simple 10 x T1000.
Not being much of a lateral thinker I couldn't see how this would work, (re)starting with 0/0/0/10 in the early rounds when blinds still contain lots of T25s and T100s. Then I realised the rebuying player would make change from the table and it started to make sense.
Not only does it make for less colouring up later on, since there are fewer lower denoms and more higher denoms on the table, it means more stacks and rebuys can be made from the same set. Bit of a light bulb moment for me lol
My question is, does this cause many issues during play, when someone buys in and immediately has to make change to construct a functioning starting stack? Are there any other issues to consider when maximising one's set utility by introducing high denoms early on in a tournament?
