  • (K/W) The Compound 2022 Event #5 - $60 NLHE Deepstack - Wed, Aug 17th - 7pm

To keep things easy, Event #5 is reschedule, but will now be a regular NLHE tournament (with Double stacks). As an experiment I'm going to try reducing the total number of physical chips per player to see how that plays (for more information see the post below this one)

Reserved for discussion around starting chips. Whoops... forgot to edit this post. lol
We often have a massive pile of 25 and 100 chips by the time it comes to color up and, having tried having less physical chips at the WSOP, I want to see what effect it has on a home game. (It may be more fun to have a pile of chips in front of you, but thought we could give it a try. Having a large number of smaller denomination chips made sense before Big Blind Antes.

Here's how things worked at the WSOP to help the game keep moving.

When you're the blind, first post exact change for the ante. Then post your BB, but don't yet make change for that. Same goes for the SB

If you only have a large chip as your smallest before posting the ante (eg. a 1k chip when the blinds are 100/200, the dealer should flip that chip to another player to make change)

You can then make change from the pot if you choose to fold.

That's it. The change I'm thinking of is to change the 12/12 split of 25/100 chips to 8/8, and remove a single 500 chip for a 1k.
beach2002;c-422650 wroteDid the buy in increase as well?
It did. (Usually $40, but increased to $60 due to having more chips.) I'll also cut the buy-in if there are rebuys for example) Perhaps renaming it to the "High Roller Doublestack"? :D
Sorry, please cancel my reservation
One quick bump, 24 hours before cards are in the air!
As a heads up, since we're only an hour from start, I'm not going to set up the 3rd table and will instead run 9-max, capping tonight at 18 players. (FT still at 9 players)
Hey Zithal , so sorry about the last minute change . I won’t be able to make it today
