Thanks for all the help guys. Still thinkin it over though. I think I want around 2k starting chips instead of 1k or 5k..and I am pretty sure we will only be playing with 4 different colored chips. How would I change things around if I did this?

Start with 50k in chips? How long do you want this to last, 12 hours for 8 guys?

I run a 50K chip game with up to 16 players. Usually lasts 4-6 hours depending on how things go. Not sure where you got the 12 hour figure from.

I was pushing it there a bit. even 6 hours is long for a 16 person. I would rather see it be about 2 hours for that many people.

The last tourney we ran we had 40 players and it lasted 6 1/2 hours and that was long. The mistake I made was a 30 minute time interval. 20 minutes is perfect with an ante after the 1st hour.

My main question is why start with 50k in chips?
