**Advice for tournament chip set and breakdown!**
Okay,
So I am looking at getting a new set for my tournament season and thus far have found myself liking the Milano chips. The thing I need to know is how many chips I should be getting for the tournament style I run.
I have 27 seats available, havnt needed more than 2 tables YET. I have a starting stack of 5,000 chips, rebuys allowed at 5,000 chips and an add on of 3,000 in chips.
I came to a breakdown as follows to cover the tournament in chips and not have to spend too much money to buy a full 1,000 piece set if less will do.
I broke it down like this
$25 - 8
$100 - 8
$500 - 4
$1000 - 2
To cover 27 players I will need the following breakdown in chips.
$25 - 8 x 27 = 216 or 225 for the rolls of 25.
$100 - 8 x27 = 216 or 225
$500 - 4 x 27 = 108 or 125
$1000 - 2 x 27 = 54 or 75
Then one roll of $5,000 chips to cover rebuys, add ons and chip ups.
This will give me a total chip count of 675 total chips.
Does this seem reasonable to cover my tournament that hasnt needed all 3 tables yet, but still give me room that if 3 tables are needed I will have enough to cover?

Question: Do you use antes?
I really want to keep the price in check and yet cover all the bases with regards to rebuys and add ons.
How about another roll of 5k and that sure surely cover rebuys add ons and chip ups?
100 250 you are going to need more for colour ups
500 150
1000 50
Total numberof chips 675
700 chips is good but ...
Have you considered...
Your tournaments will be run smoother if people don't have to make change as often. Bigger stacks are just more fun to play with.
If you can swing a 1000+ chip set you can start people off with.
$25 - 12
$100 - 12
$500 - 7
Having more chips makes things much more fun!
Have you considered getting $5000 plaques?
Have you considered getting over sized $1000 chips?
$25 325
$100 325
$500 200
$1000 100
$5000 50
An even better breakdown would be
$25 - 16
$100 - 16
$500 - 6
If you can't afford plaques and 1000 chips right now then just use china clay chips for the $25 chips. Players won't mind for the lowest denomination.
Will it make a difference you think on people coming out if I use the stacks in which i said above? Or will people really come out more often with a bigger better chip set and stack?
I doubt it. People like nice chips and nice cards, but what keeps them coming back is a well run tourney with a decent format, and consistent enforcement of the rules. That is why Ching Hill is still going, along with several others on this Forum. They provide a great atmosphere, and an entertaining night for your $$$.

Steve's, Buzzzards and AJ's are the most regularily run games although some others are Johnnieh's and Bristol St which was one of the first on here several years ago... There are others north of Toronto as well...
SO they tell me anyways.
I agree 100% with this!
Can't wait to get them now and put them in play. When I get them all I will have to post pictures.... yahooooo
or divorce...whichever costs more
Also, talked to the guy from outplay poker, and seems as if he is willing to price match any prices found on other websites. He would have price matched the chips that I found elsewhere, so keep that in mind guys when ordering your stuff. Check out other websites and give him a shout for a price match!
im looking forward to the pics you are going to share!
Here are the pics I took of them!
The last picture, the $.50 milanos, those werent supposed to be there, I ordered the Nile club $.50 and they sent me those! Looks like I will have to pick up the niles at straight poker this weekend!
Cant wait to toss these new chips across the felt!
Okay, I am confused . . . the pics are of a tourney set, obv. So why did you order $0.50 chips, Nile Club or otherwise? Starting a small cash set?
