Tips for Chip Distribution

  • Standard setup: 10,000 chips with 25/50 blinds works well for 3-4 hour games
  • Smallest chip = small blind: If blinds start at 25/50, use 25 as your smallest denomination
  • Aim for 25-35 chips per player for good playability
  • Color up (remove small chips) when blinds increase past their value
  • • Keep extra chips aside for rebuys/add-ons if your tournament allows them
