chip denomination recommendations, pls?
Hi all,
i've pretty excited as the warden/wife has signed off on some desert sands chips, so now i would like to get some recommendations re. the denominations. I'm going to do the buy 2 get 1 free deal so, 900 total chips. typically, i have a very casual, socially motivated home game w/ usually btwn 5-8 people. we play a mix of side games &, more recently, tourneys and i was wondering how this chip breakout seems: side games: $20-25 buys (usually there'll be at most 3-4 reloads) (400 chips) $0.25 - 100 chips $0.50 - 150 chips $1.00 - 100 chips $5.00 - 50 chips tourneys (500 chips) $25 - 200 chips $100 - 200 chips $500 - 50 chips $1k - 50 chips i figure a 60BB starting stack, but i've seen here where people aren't thrilled w/ small starting stacks. anyways, it'd be T3000, broken out like this: $25 - 20 chips $100 - 20 chips $500 - 3 chips experiences? thoughts? advice? tia! --oj.

Re: chip denomination recommendations, pls?
I would get:
100 $0.25 200 $1 80 $5 that's $625 for a cash game so you could concievably have $50 max NLHE with 10 people... some cash would have to play during the night. I'd make it $20 bills only. 290 $25 170 $100 40 $500 20 $1000 maximum of 24 participants with $1500 starting stacks: 12 $25 7 $100 1 $500 You have enough color up chips to get rid of even the $100 chips late in the tournament. Obviously just double the stack to make it 12 people @ $3000 start. Having the starting stack fit exactly in racks makes the start of the tournament easier. I made an openoffice spreadsheeet to figure this out, I'll email it to you if you PM me your address.

[/ QUOTE ] FYI, the above totals $4000...I start with $4000 starting chips also for Tourneys which works out to 40BB (starting blinds of 50/100). My blinds increase every 20 minutes, so if yours increase every 30 minutes you should still have a nice long tourney.
