PCF PROMO Tourney Set - Ordering Closed (8 Viewers)

If wanting a single-table high-roller set (T500-base, T300K stacks), see post #58 for a 400-chip breakdown -- basically just 100 chips each of the T500/T1000/T5000/T25000 denominations per 10 players.

Yah... what he said.

Which chips do you really want to use? There are T5-, T25-, T100-, and T500-base options.

For a single-table T5-base set (T2000 stacks), see post #168 for a great 300-chip option.

Thanks Dave. Looking at a t500 base set. I had thought about the basic 100 of each approach that you posted earlier, but figured I could save $50 by dropping it down towards 340.

How does @BStecks 344 count breakdown look to you.

Or should I just pony up for the 400 chips

If you go 100 of each that gives you enough for EXACTLY 5 rebuys at 200k. Which is EXACTLY half the number of players. That has to be some enough of a magic golden ratio or something to justify the extra chips.

Never hold tournements but these are sweet. What's a good ratio for 500 chips, ten player t100 base set?

Paulo's breakdown is based on T2000 starting stacks (10/10/7/2), with 6x of the extra T500 chips being used for color-ups of the T5 and T25 chips (leaving 4x spares). T2000 stacks are 200BB if using 5/10 opening blinds, which is a pretty hefty starting stack already.

To double that to 400BB (T4000 stacks, 10/10/7/6) plus re-buys, you'd need to add 36 more T500s for the starting stacks (actually 40x, but you have 4 spares already), 20x T1000s for five T4000 re-buys (using 4x T100 each), and 7x T1000 chips to cover the T100 color-ups (not required for the smaller T2000 stacks). That is a total of 66x T500 chips and 27x T1000 chips, for a total set of 367 chips -- well under 400 chips total.

Building it out to 500-600 chips for a single table T5-base tourney set is huge overkill, as those extra 100-200 chips would never get used. Only way to really justify a larger set would be to either plan for two tables, or expand the single-table set with including a T25-base capability in mind. Reference posts #58 and #64 for some alternate breakdown recommendations.

Yes sorry I wasn't clear in my request, I would need a set to support 2 tables, T2k with rebuys or T4-5k freezeout.

I have a pretty good idea of a breakdown for a T25 base, but I quite like that cranberry T5 so I'm considering that option.

I'll take a look at the posts you mentioned and see if I can pencil together a breakdown... Trying to keep it around 600 chips.

100 x T100
60 x T500
120 x T1000
80 x T5000
40 x T25000
----------------
400 chips, which will support up to 10 players with T100K starting stacks (10/6/11/7/2, or 500bb with 100/200 opening blinds), with ample chips for color-ups and 4 re-buys (or T150K stacks with no re-buys).



I plan to order the following 800-chip set, which covers all of the options from T25-base and T100-base for 20 players and T500-base for 10 players..... plus 20x T5 chips to be used as bounties.

20 x T5
160 x T25
160 x T100
120 x T500
140 x T1000
100 x T5000
100 x T25000

800 chips

But I'm in the same boat as you - don't play tourneys - already have a tourney set that isn't used at all - having a hard time resisting these chips.

Count me in that boat as well and I don't think I can resist. I've put together a breakdown, but I'd appreciate it if you guys could check my thinking.

I would want a two table set. I started with the PCF approved 600 chip/20 player breakdown posted earlier in this thread (and elsewhere). That doesn't get the beautiful 25K chip in play, so I made the following modification. I pretend we have already played to the first break and I go ahead and color up the T25s with T100s and add some T25000s to give me the following:

T100 x 200
T500 x 80
T1000 x 140
T5000 x 60
T25000 x 20

Starting at that point with a 100/200 blind level, I have starting stacks of 10/4/7/3 for a total of 25,0000 (125 bb). Then with the T25Ks I can add one to the starting stack for a 250bb deep stack tournament or I can use them as re-buy chips.

Thoughts?

Now that's a fantastic idea!

TY!

 

[FDLmold]

I think I'm gonna order more chips.

 

[ChipEnvy]

My order is in...

35 x T5 (bounty chips)
245 x T25
245 x T100
125 x T500
145 x T1000
65 x T5000
25 x T25K (no real need but who needs a reason to get more chips?)

This is a @BGinGA (+5 extras of each chip) that I’ve held onto as gospel. Very versatile and plays up to 3 tables.

Are they here yet?

 

[Chris Flynn]

Order in! Thanks Tommy!

 

[Chris Manzoni]

I need more chips like I need a hole in my head but the chance to get ahold of GPI chips with BCC colors for incredibly cheap is just too good to pass up!

Order is in! Single table tournament set...

x10 - T5
x80 - T25
x80 - T100
x60 - T500
x100 - T1000
x40 - T5000
x20 - T25000

Don't need the T5s or 25K for play, but they're just too cool!

Hope I PMd Tommy correctly!

 

[dirty moose]

Is this a one time deal? Think we'll be able to order these in the future?

 

[MD Mike]

@Hobbyphilic i feel like you should get in on this group buy too

 

[crussader]

Is this a one time deal? Think we'll be able to order these in the future?

Quite possible. See post #121

Updated Totals

Tommy said he would probably try to coordinate a follow-up group buy for new orders/add-ons sometime down the road. However, I wouldn't count on that happening 100%, you never know for sure what might happen to prevent another GB.

 

[Ghoti]

If you really wanna go small, you can get by with 300 chips. T2K stacks with color-ups (for the T5 and T25) for 10 players. If you want to start deeper or have re-buy capabilities you need to add more T500s and/or T1Ks.

Starting stacks of 10/10/7/2 for T2K and a set of:

100 x T5
100 x T25
70 x T100
30 x T500

That's kinda the starting point. You can add to that as you wish.

Thanks Chaos.

Looking forward to having a tourney set with a red and pink chip in it. That cranberry is beautiful.

How many chips to fill a MFRB?

 

[Tommy]

How many chips to fill a MFRB?

600-650 is the max I would do.

 

[FDLmold]

600 it is then.

 

[FDLmold]

Double walled LFRB is 800-900?

 

[MD Mike]

600-650 is the max I would do.

Doh! And my order is 690

 

[Tommy]

Double walled LFRB is 800-900?

900 and spares

 

[Tommy]

Doh! And my order is 690

Med and a small flat inside of a padded flat rate envelope. I could try a med but I probably won't feel comfortable with it.

 

[links_slayer]

Doh! And my order is 690

Obvious solution is to order 210 more chips.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

tommy - I'm not interested in this particular set, but I do have a question. Does this mean that BCC customs are available to be purchased by the general public? If so, how would one go about doing so?

 

[FDLmold]

900 is looking good too now. I can order some extras to have available to chippers who need them after the GB is over.

 

[Forty4]

I was hoping this order would open their eyes and allow a GB for the BCC. I’m thinking they wouldn’t want to do individual sets because of order size.


The colors they have would allow for a nice Cali color set.
