Tourney Starting Stacks Breakdown T100 Base (2 Viewers)

is it reasonable to possibly just have T100, T1K, & T5K denominations?

You will need a lot more T100 chips in play. I'd recommend 20x per player, minimum -- and you won't be able to color-up as early as usual, either.

Interesting...more chips! Easier to recognize denominations! Less/later coloring up! Seems like a pretty positive outcome.

My T100s have been the 100/500/1000/5000 and the 5000s don’t do much until at least mid-game.

Seems like a pretty positive outcome.

Except for all of the extra counting and stacking, and the extra time that consumes.

Even though going from 100/100 to 100/200 is a 100% increase in blinds it's ok to have as long as you start above T10k. The league I'm helping run next month I'm having the starting stacks at T15K for 150BB than their usual 100BB SS. That way their 150BB stack would become 75BB in lvl 2 than starting with 100BB and going to 50BB in lvl.

That's what we do, T15k has become our standard tourney. The starting stacks are 150BB which I think is a nice middle ground between short and deep stacks for a 4ish hour tournament with gradual and consistent progression (I have a 46% and 52% structure). The starting blinds are 100/100, 100/200, 100/300, which follows the "standard" 50%/33% increase pattern of total blinds that you usually see in blinds structures.

So 100 BB's is your deep stack tourney? What do you guys typically play?

 

[rrobyrrroby]

The monthly games were T25 base T10.000.
I was thinking to double up the starting stack and start with 100/200 blinds.
The avarage is almost 25.000chips.

10/2/8/2 for 20k then top off the bonuses as needed

T25 10k is 200bb starting stack
T100 20k is 100bb starting stack

You are doing the opposite of doubling up

If you going to x4 from T25 to T100, in order to adjust the starting stack you need to start with at least 50k

10/4/7/2 seems like the all around most practical one, at first glance.

What are typical denomination for t100?

What are typical denomination for t100?

I've run T20000. Used T100/T500/T1000/T5000. So clean. I really dig the T100 format. You do end up with a lot of chips in heads-up battles, but it's not unmanageable by any means. This is only a 9-handed STT.

I'll probably get scoffed at, but I have a big chip set and my players like deep stacks, so we go 30/20/12/3 for stacks of T40K and re-buys of 0/20/20/2. Just one table. We have a friendly blind structure, as well, because we like to let people play for a while. It's fun having all of those chips at our disposal. And the color ups make the number of chips on the table at the end of the night more reasonable.

We've never done this, but we could even go 30/14/10/4 for stacks of T40K with 24 players and 12 re-buys of 0/10/15/4. And still have enough chips left for color ups.

That’s the way to do it!

I run a STT tourney (T100-T500-T1K-T5K-T25K) with 20/6/15/11/1 for T100K. 1R/1A (30K) during the first break.
That's a start stack of 53 chips each ^^ Not economical, but lots of fun and the players really enjoy the extra chips.
Little change-making, and some large T100 stacks until they are chipped off alongside the T500s.

Plenty of T1K chips as well, which are the work-horse chips for most of the tournament until they are eventually removed at the end, with T5Ks and T25Ks taking over for the last few levels, with around 110-130 chips in rotation heads-up, which is an ideal amount. (~80%-20% between the two denoms)
