Here is a poker chip calculator to help you test your poker chip distribution for poker tournaments. The calculator will allow you to try out different combinations of poker chip colors and denominations. This poker chip calculator makes it easy to determine the total value of your poker chipset, how many chips are issued to each player, and how many chips remain in your set.

By testing different combinations of poker chips colors and denominations, you can determine the best setup for your poker tournaments. You will eventually discover that there is no perfect poker chip setup that will allow you to hold T1000 tournaments, T10,000 tournaments, and dealer's choice cash games with the same poker chips. You will probably have to compromise and favor one setup over another.

Although the games are different, playing video poker can bring home poker beginners up to speed on hand values. You can also play for free on all online sites, see www.bestcasinoscanada.com for a selection of places to practice at.

Remember that your poker chip distribution will have an effect on the blinds schedule that you can use for your poker tournament. You can't use a blinds schedule that contains a 15/30 blinds level if you do not issue any $5 chips. Similarly, if you want to run a T10,000 tournament that includes $25 antes, you will require $25 chips. This means that you should determine what blinds structure you will use before you purchase your chips. If you want to hold T100 tournaments, you will probably require $1, $2, and $5 poker chips but if you want to hold a T10,000 tournament, you will probably require $100, $500, and $1,000 chips and maybe some $25 or $5,000 chips. You should try to use standard poker chip colors so for the T100 tournaments you should buy white, blue, and red colored chips but for a T10,000 tournament you should probably buy black, purple, and yellow/orange colored chips.
