Tourney T1000 single table tourney structure and chip breakdown? (1 Viewer)

[golobos]

The new Tangier Tina chips by @Cratty are absolutely amazing, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a set! However, I’m facing a dilemma. I already own several solid cash sets and a T100 single tourney set, but I’m itching to do something a bit different and create a high-roller single-table tournament set.

I searched the site but couldn't find any chip breakdowns & tournament structures for a T1000 tournament using 1k, 5k, 25k, and 100k chips. Was thinking of a starting stack of 200k w/20 min levels which is 10x what my usual T100 tourney starts with. Has anyone here hosted a tourney like this and have any recommendations specifically for chip breakdowns and blind structures. Or is there a thread you can direct me to for some guidance?

Look up T1 structures too, a 1k/5k/25k/100k lineup is the same as 1/5/25/100. Starting stacks of 10/8/6 or 15/12/5 for 200k.

This was my blind structure for a 400k starting stack tournament.

Very helpful, thanks!

A T1K is equivalent to a T1 structure, since the chips are just multiples of 1,000. You can look up T1 base structures and use them as well.

Agreed - T1 and T1000 are the same, but with extraneous zeros. Zeros that nobody will even mention. "Raise to 15" not "Raise to 15 thousand."

If you truly want a high roller structure, you need levels with big (but reasonably predictable) increases between levels. For my set using T1,000,000, I start with T500s in play. Make those big numbers mean something, not just zeros that you ignore.

Small Blind	Big Blind
500	1,000
1,000	2,000
1,500	3,000
3,000	6,000
5,000	10,000
10,000	20,000
15,000	30,000
25,000	50,000
50,000	100,000
75,000	150,000
150,000	300,000
250,000	500,000
500,000	1,000,000
800,000	1,600,000

20 minute levels. Color up the smallest denom every 3rd level.

For a base T1K, starting at T1M is not crazy; 15/12/9/7 starting stacks will give that to you with plenty of chips. For a ten person freezeout, T500KBB will be the likely ending point.

Look up structures from the WSOP. Those give a general idea and you can find everything from low to high stakes or tournament stack sizes

A T1k structure is pretty much exactly the same as a T1 structure multiplied by 1000. 4-5x denom jumps all the way to T500k chips.
