I have a few questions?
I read the Cardschat pdf for information. They used around 19 chips. How can you use 19 chips? In 5 minutes all your chips are gone right or not? Also if you have 19 chips how can you color up? Because with a color up you get less chips but with a higher value right?
Last question is there a minium bet in after the flop?
Thanks!
I am so sorry that I did not see your questions until today. Usually I ask questions of the OP and they never respond. This time, a response, but no response from me.
Assuming 10 players, if you have 19 chips per player, as soon as one is eliminated, you have 21 chips per player. When five are gone, you have 38 chips per player, etc. Colour up should eliminate chips but there should be players eliminated by then as well. Colour up is not absolutely necessary. If you want to play 10 players ending in two hours, I would recommend 15 minutes blind levels that result in 8 levels until total chips in play are equal to 20 Big Blinds. Using the chart in the CC page, some of the blind levels 1-5 (25/50 - 150/300) require T25 chips. With 15 minute blind levels, you take a break at 1:15 of the tourney and replace the (80X) T25's with 20X T100's, or 4X T500's, or 2X T1000's. You are only taking, at most 78 chips off the table (if you use 2X T1K). If you are down to two players, you will be very happy about this, if you still have 8 players, you may want to use T100's and only eliminate 60 chips. you will see by the chips on the table and how the players are acting with them whether or not you have too many small chips.
Minimum bet after the Flop is the same as before the Flop. Min Bet = 1BB
After a raise, the minimum reraise is the amount of the previous raise.
I will read and respond more thoroughly to your above questions as I reread them. I hope this game hasn't died because the chip issues were causing lack of interest in the game.
