Tourney What’s the deepest stack for a 4-5 hour tourney utilizing T25 T100 12/12 (1 Viewer)

[doublebooyah85]

Utilizing T25 chips

Starting stack as some configurations of 12 T25 and 12 T100 + whatever

You want the tourney to end in 5 hours max

Blinds could start at 50-100

What do you think the “most” chips you could start with, without TOTALLY diminishing the value of T25s?

20K?

@BGinGA need a veterans take ;-)

 

[pocketJs]

Love this question. Watching.

 

[krafticus]

I'd say 20k. Are you using a BBA?

It depends on the length of the levels, the largest jump you are willing to take between levels, and the number of players. My "deepest" tournament runs 4.5-5 hours, and starts at 1000 BB. Each level jump is between 50% and 100% the previous level (20 minute levels). It's a base 500 tournament so I didn't post the schedule, but I think you get the jist.

 

[BGinGA]

Biggest T25-base stacks I've regulary started with were 30k (50/100 blinds, or 300bb). 40k @ 50/100 would be 400bb, which seems excessive for a non-aggressive structure.

For 25/50 starting blinds, I'd say 15k stacks (300bb)... although we do 20k (but with antes). That and the 30k above both go <5 hrs with 16 players.

 

[doublebooyah85]

Great replies thx everyone. 30k is plenty of chips for a splashy T25 tourney. Glad that’s not too many.

Trying to figure out what or if anymore chips r needed for my tourney sets.

Usually 20 min levels. Sometimes I’m goofy and do 22 min levels. Currently no BBA.

 

[BGinGA]

Oh, and our season-ending free-roll Championship Tournament has stacks ranging from 20k to sometimes as large as 60k (20/20/15/10+). Typical average stack is around 34k.

With the usual structure (below), minimum 20 minute blind levels and including 2x10 minute breaks, you get to the 4K/8K level. Multiply by 20, and you can have up to T160K in play to end in approximately 5 hours. This is T20K for up to 8 players, T16K for 10, or T10K for 16 if you want to run 2 tables.

50/100 0:00-0:20
75/150 0:20
100/200 0:40
150/300 1:00
Break (Color Up T25s) 1:20
200/400 1:30
300/600 1:50
400/800 2:10
600/1200 2:30
800/1600 2:50
Break (Color Up T100s) 3:10
1000/2000 3:20
1500/3000 3:40
2K/4K 4:00
3K/6K 4:20
4K/8K 4:40-5:00
(6K/12K 5:00-5:20 etc.)

What if I wanted T20k for 2 tables? W rebuys until the first break. What adjustment would you make?

 

[TheRealStephen12]

I would reduce levels to 15 minutes add add a few more levels to the bottom.

20k starting stack
27 players
50-100 blinds

How would you do the starting stack breakdown?

12 25s
12 100s
and so forth?

Or something different?

@BGinGA

 

[philhut]

I would try a t25 using 5k starting stacks with unlimited rebuys until 100/200 level
25/50
50/100
75/150
Colour up/end rebuy
100/200
200/400
Etc...
If using 2-3 tables this will last 4.5ish hours

 

[TheRealStephen12]

8/8/4/7/2 or 12/12/5/6/2 would probably be the most highly recommended for T20K.

Personally, I'd go with 12/12/5/6/2, using T1000s for T25 and T100 color-ups, T5000 for the T500 color-ups, and T25k chips for the eventual T1000 color-ups.

You will want those 200+ T1000s in play, especially when it becomes the workhorse chip still covering three tables. That will put roughly 75 total chips in play (67x T5000 + 8x T25k) at the short-table tournament end (10k/20k or 15k/30k blinds).

You can get by with 8/8/4/7/2, but plan on extra change-making cutting into play time for the first couple of hours.

perfect thanks for the tips. This was the direction I was headed and if I go any deeper, I have the higher denominations already. Just need 60 more T25 but in no rush.
