Hello, Everyone, By the nature of my question below you'll gather that I've never played in any type of bricks-and-mortar BJ tourney (only played online), so excuse the ignorance of my question, but here goes: In a BJ tourney, are the same chips utilized as in regular table play in the casino? I.e., at the beginning of the tournament does a player receive a pile of non-cash value reds ($5 chips), greens ($25 chips), and blacks ($100 chips) as the initial bankroll? If not, what system of chip distribution is utilized? Thank you in advance for your reply. blkjkplyr
Most tournaments do use chip colors that are typical of regular play, but not all. Sometimes, you'll get quite bizarre color combinations. I remember playing one event where the $5 chips were green and the $25 chips were brown. Tough to keep them straight. Fortunately, most places stick to the basic red $5, green $25, black $100 color scheme.
Ken Is there anyway to buy UBT chips or do you know of some that are close in appearance? On TV they look big, were they the same at Aruba tables? I have my eye set on Borona this year and would like to have some practice chips. tia, B
Normal chips: And yellows are a grand and purple Hawiian rainbows are 5K. Now since I'm basically a red chipper, I don't really get to see what the stratosphere does to the light spectrum. Head banger. Don't go buyin special chips, unless it's from Vegas Petie. Work your standard colors in the basic three denominations standard in any bankroll, min/max bet. If you can take the time to figure out that basic distribution, denomination, your half way there to successfully counting the little buggers.
