How the Chips Are Shared Out
PokerSjef divides a stack into chips in the same way as the quick event in the app. The first level and the chip set decide which chips a player gets.
- The smallest chip in the stack is the largest chip that makes the stack and every amount of the first level. Smaller chips stay in the case.
- Each chip in the stack is a whole number of the smallest chip. No chip is worth more than a quarter of the stack.
- The smallest chips add up to at least two of the next chip, and to at least twice the smallest blind or ante.
- Each chip between the smallest and the largest comes at least four times, and enough to change one of the next chip.
- The rest of the stack goes in the largest chips first. What is left goes in the smallest chip, so the total is exactly the stack.
Rebuys, Add-Ons and the Field
A rebuy and an add-on use the same rule as the starting stack, with the same first level. The field needs one stack for each player, each rebuy and each add-on.
In PokerSjef, the quick event shows the chips that each player gets, and the room clock shows the chips still in play.
