Could you ask them to stack the 25 and the 1k side by side please? I’m still just a tiny bit worried about dirty stacks. They look pretty amazing so far!
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks you for the advice. I am indeed a "n00b" in terms of chip distribution. So I was in a tournament style home game this past weekend and I thought of adding to my order so I have enough chips to host a 2 table tourney if needed.

Assuming 18 players (9 per table), starting stack of $1,000 of T25x8 and T100x8. Unlimited re-buy for the first hour (when you bust,) and initial blind for the first hour of $25/$25. At the hour mark player has an option to do a one-time add-on of $1,000 and of course a re-buy if they are bust at the hour. After the hour the blind will be 25/50, 50/100, 75/150, etc.

Also the $5 chips will be used in a one table tourney of max 10 players where each player gets $3K with no re-buy. The blind starts at $10/$20.

The $0.25, $1, $5, and the T25 will be used for occasional cash game.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Exemple of tournament breakdown and structure :

T10,000 - 18 players
1st level = 25-25 --> 400BB which is already deep

You shall expect the tournament to end at level when Big Blind = 5% chips in play so around level 4000-8000 and 6000-12,000 If no rebuy.

If you estimate 18 rebuys in total (1 per player), it will end around level 8000-16,000.

Starting stacks :
8 x 25
8 x 100
6 x 500
6 x 1000

You'll then need for the starting stacks :
144 x 25
144 x 100
108 x 500
108 x 1000

You'll have to color-up the 25 and 100 with 1000. 500 shall be colored-up with 5000.

So you'll need for color-up :
18 x 1000
11 x 5000

For a rebuy, you can issue 10,000 as x 1000 and 1 x 5000. So if you estimate 18 rebuys max per game :
90 x 1000
18 x 5000

So in total you'll need :
144 x 25
144 x 100
108 x 500
216 x 1000
29 x 5000

I would round and add some spares chips.
160 x 25
160 x 100
120 x 500
240 x 1000
40 x 5000
--> total = 720 chips

Structure :
25 / 25
25 / 50
25 / 75
50 / 100
75 / 150
100 / 200
150 / 300
**** Remove 25 chips ****
200 / 400
300 / 600
400 / 800
600 / 1200
800 / 1600
1000 / 2000
1500 / 3000
**** Remove 100 and 500 chips ****
2000 / 4000
3000 / 6000
4000 / 8000
6000 / 12000
8000 / 16000
10000 / 20000

Then decide on level length depending on the wanted duration. Imho a first level of 1 hour would be overkill...

This is awesome info and thank you very much for spending time to help me visualize it. I will look into the current order to make adjustments before the order deadline :)

I have a question about the 108x500 and 108x1000 in the starting stack. Are these used for re-buys and add-on during the first hour? Since the starting amount is $1,000 per player and each re-buy and add-on is also $1,000. It seems like I will have a lot of chips starting.

I guess I am thrown off by initial stack of T1,000-18 players. Will the chips total change significantly since it is T1,000-18 players?

Again, apologies for all the beginner questions.

No need to apologize! Always better to ask many of us are happy to help!

He gave you numbers for a T10,000 and you are applying them for a T1,000? Not sure I'm following your question.

Yeah I think I misunderstood and thought the example he provided was related to the example I used where each player starts with a stack of $1,000. His example has each player starting at $10,000 and I was/am confused by the numbers of the chips needed.

His suggestion was indeed for a structure and chip breakdown based on a start stack of $10,000.
 
Kid_Eastwood said:
Indeed, I thought you planned T10,000 as you start blinds on 25-25.
T1000 on 25-25 is only 40BB, which will be more Lotto than Poker...

Yeah since I have no idea on nominal tournament structure I am just basing on games that I have been in.

Can you explain what 40BB means? Is it 40 re-buys?
 
I know this is a REALLY late idea, but this set needs seating chips! The picture could be the business end of a donkey. Two cheeks and a whipping tail, if you will.

What everyone is trying to say is when you’re starting blinds are 25 / 50 you want your starting stack to be 200 x big blind or in other words T10,000. You could also get away with 100 x big blind or a T5,000. Anything less than that and you take the skill out of the game and it becomes a crap shoot. If you start with 20 x big blind or T1,000 guys will be shoving all in before you know it.
In my tourney we start with T5,000 and increase blinds every 20 minutes. We allow one rebuy and one add on. The tourney lasts around 4 hours.

It looks like you're after about 600 chips. The absolute minimum you can get away with for two tables, 20 players is:

T25 x 160
T100 x 160
T500 x 80
T1000 x 160
T5000 x 40

Starting stacks are T10k with 8/8/4/7 and you have exactly enough T1000s to colour up the T25 & T100. The 40x T5000 allow one rebuy per player. There will be a lot of change making but it's workable. The set would also work very well for a single table game with 12/12/5/6 stating stacks.

There is a lot to learn. But that was why I made my original comment. If you take the time and get the right chip breakdown you will save yourself money, time, and a ton of headaches. Starting with 1000 chips and 25/50 blinds is not appealing to poker players that use skill to play cards. You make 1 raise first hand with AK to 200 your betting 1/5 of your entire stack... I would listen to those previously stating 10k starting chips. Get their breakdowns and in the meantime you can read why. But at least you will have the chips ordered before cut off.

What he said. We’ve all been there and pissed a fortune down the toilet buying the wrong chip breakdowns. You’re doing the right thing joining here and getting advice off people. Will save you a lot of money and pain in the long run.

I recommend you start a thread in the "Tournaments and Cash Games" defining what your desired use would be (cash, tourney or both) and you'll get a better response on your chip breakdowns. For example, you seem to be wanting to use these chips for cash as well and we strongly recommend having different sets for cash and tourney. You can still do that with these chips: 5c to $20 for cash and $25 and up for tourney.
 
@Marhault please make the following adjustments for me:
Remove:
20 Bounty Lammers
20 Reload Lammers
Add:
40 $1 (Alternates)
40 $5
20 $20 (Alternates)
