Default Re: Poker tournament with severely limited chips. Help needed

One- we're not chipping in for some additional, cheap chips... because why?

Second- if you're trying to do a lunch tourney, how can you NOT want it to be a crapshoot fairly early?

Three- Blue and green are both worth T10. Red are T50. White are T100. That cuts down on chip changing as much as is possible, with this set. It also makes higher denom changing possible, without crippling the person coloring down.

(these are plastic Bicycle chips, aren't they?)

10 mixed + 5 red + 4 white= T750 total

Start blinds T10/20
Ending blinds for 5 players T100/200 (depends on how weak-tight the play is)

Progress however you want, but set the last level to start 10-15 minutes before your "must quit" time. Assuming an hour:
10/20 (15 minutes)
20/40 (15 min)
30/60 (10 min)
50/100 (10 min)
100/200 (10 min)

Learn to deal and shuffle quickly.
