I was woundering how many chips to you start each player out with.

Very vague question,

do you mean if you were running your own NL tournament how many chips to start players out with?

That answer depends on 5 other factors

1. What do the blinds start out?

2. How often do the blinds go up?

3. How drastically do the blinds go up?

4. How many players will there be starting out?

5. How long do you want the tournament to last, minimum/maximum.

A bad stack/blind setup can turn a tournament into a joke.

If you want the tournament to be geared towards skill then start with deep stacks and low blinds that gradually increase.

Higher, faster increasing blinds add more luck to the game as there are fewer hands dealt and more aggressive play is forced.

Try 10,000 in starting chips with blinds starting at 100/200 and increasing every 30 or 45 minutes

100/200
200/400
300/600
500/1000
800/1600
1000/2000
2000/4000

and then just double them until the game is over.

2 black, 2 blue, 10 red, and 10 white.

1. What do the blinds start out? blinds start at 50 small 100 big

2. How often do the blinds go up? after first hour and ever hour after it goes up

3. How drastically do the blinds go up? it goes up times 2 from 50-100 small, 100-200 big

4. How many players will there be starting out? 5-6 at each table

5. How long do you want the tournament to last, minimum/maximum. couple hours
