Home Poker Tournament
If you want to run your own home poker tournament, you first need to determine how many poker chips you will need. Depending on how many players you expect to have, a 500 or 1000 chip set should be purchased for home poker tournaments. Most poker chips include a sturdy carrying case (easy to bring with you) and many include a dealer’s button, blind buttons and one or two decks of cards. If you are planning a one table (8 – 11 players) tournament, you will require at least 500 chips. This allows enough chips for rebuys and add-ons. For more than one table, or over 10 players, you should consider buying a 1000 chip set. With this, you can host a one or two table tournament (16-20 players) without any difficulty.
The following steps will help you set up your home poker tournament.
- Determine how many players will be attending your tournament. If possible, try to plan tables of at least 8 players each (the standard is 10).
- Determine the amount of chips each player will receive.
