You can still make a solid structure out of T100 base. So is this all fairly rational? How can it be improved, keeping within my requirements? Are any of my assumptions invalid? I'm cheap, but I'm not THAT cheap! I want this set to last forever! If I lost one chip, then I couldn't play 10 players anymore without adjusting to some weird stack amount. These chips cannot be replaced, at least not easily or at a much higher cost. Oh, I'm leaning towards going with 43mm for the whole set. Min = 384 Total = 440 Net total right about $325 with 2 DBs. Same with starting with less T100.įive rebuys - 45 chips. This sounds like a nightmare on a 10 player table with making change all the time until they are colored up. I realize I could have less chips if I started with 8 T25 instead of 12. I know it's disliked by some, but we are aiming for maximum efficiency here, so I think it's the right thing to do. I'm planning on going with a T2000 instead of a T1000.Is there one BEST starting stack size for T25? Or do I want flexibility within the set to cover multiple stacks such as 10K, 12K, and 20K? Flexibility may require a few more chips.So I want enough chips, but not so many that I have unused chips. BUT, because these are custom, and have my own name on them, I want them to be usable for a lifetime.

If I grow later, then poker has become a bigger part of my life, and I'll open the wallet and buy another set.

Expectation is that I only need chips for STT.

You're welcome to try and change my mind, but I don't think you will. I've played around with it, and I know I can get less chips with a T100 structure, or maybe even a T5, but I don't like the way the blinds are structured early in T100.

Try to keep total number of playing chips around 400.

So here are some considerations and requirements:

Yeah, I'll bust the budget a little, but if I choose wisely, I don't have to bust it by that much. Now I can get a cool forever set of chips, I can get them partially customized, pick my colors, pick my denominations, put a name on the label that's meaningful to me. 700+ chips and keep it around $200, or a lot less if I went slugged. So china clays, or maybe even slugged chips. Nice looking chips for not a lot of money. Previously my thinking on a tournament set was similar to my thinking before buying a used 8V china clay cash set. I'm seriously considering the Prestige Group Buy.
