Re: 500 chip set: how to choose quantity for each color chip?
I'm not really a tournament guy. For those of you who run a lot of home tournaments, how much are large chip denominations part of the fun? Do people just like saying "I raise 3 thousand more", etc.?
The reason I ask is that the T200 setup above, using white chips, looks perfectly reasonable to me, but I get the feeling that such chip distributions get no love in this forum.

Re: 500 chip set: how to choose quantity for each color chip?
I think you are correct.
People like to play in biiiiig [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img], huge tournaments [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img], with a lot of chips,.... ...even if the buy-in is $5 [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] By the way, I could understand that, even if it doesn't change anything, it's the same tourny, with T200, T1000 or T10000.

Re: 500 chip set: how to choose quantity for each color chip?
I play in several tourneys regularly. One is a t300 with 1/2 starting blinds with a weird chip distribution. We end up keeping the whites until 10/20 blinds because there is a 7/14 blind.
Another tourney I play is a t10,000 with 25/50 starting blinds and lots of chips. We use WSOP blind structure sometimes with antes sometimes without (sometimes there is resistance to the antes). The buy-in is about the same but the second one feels much more like the tourneys I'm used to whey I go to a casino. The first one feels like a cash game with rising blinds.

Re: 500 chip set: how to choose quantity for each color chip?
i do 40 - 80 person tourneys, and issue out 4000 in chips. 8 x 25, 8 x 100, 4 x 500, 1 x 1000. Never have lots of the smallest chips. Its longer to color up later, and people can always make change at the table they are on. Making change isnt a really big deal. it happens at the wsop tournies all the time.

(Re: 500 chip set: how to,,,) PokerStars chips received!
Pokerchips.com instantly sent the chips when I gave them the chip breakdown I would like to receive. It was a Friday.
I received the box Monday, 3 days later! In Europe! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] And those chips are just fantastic. The labels are great: EPT, WCP, Caribbean and WCOOP on one side, and the classic PokerStars label on the other side of the chip. The wood case? Walnut, and burgundy felt inside. Wow! The green chip is even better than expected. The edge spot color is a day-glo pink. Here is what stated on the bill: Chips: made in USA Wood case: made in USA Cards: made in Italy (2 decks of Dal Negro 100% plastic) Dealer Button: made in... China lol!
