Starting Chip Stacks in WSOP events?
I was wondering if anybody knew what the distributions of which chips (and colors for denominations, if possible) were for a starting stack for a T5000 tournament? How many T$25? How many $T50? etc? Wanted to play around a little bit with my buddies with the starting stacks before heading out there.

Why does it matter how many of each chip you get? ... [/ QUOTE ] He wants to practice doing things like saying "5 hundred" while throwing in a 1k chip and lessen the chance of pulling a Greenstein. If he uses the same distribution during this practice as the event will, he will also be able to practice building chip castles which will make him look more professional and be feared by opponents. You don't want to have a nice castle going then find out you've got an extra chip with no place to call its own. The sharks will smell you a mile away. I am doing the same to prepare and was about to post this question. Thanks Thayer!

Re: Starting Chip Stacks in WSOP events?
for anyone who actually wants to know... first every event will start with 8 quarters and 8 100 chips. most of the smaller events will not start with 1k chips, but rather just 500 chips to make up for the rest. the bigger events will usually start with 4 500 chips and the rest in 1k chips.

I feel so complete now knowing that the likes of a forum GOD such as you have passed your judgement upon my request. Glad to see you don't take this too seriously.
