We built a 40 person set of CDIs for the purpose of accommodating a 4 table tournament. We used about half of it this weekend. Its close to 4,000 chipsI want to thank everyone for making me realize that chip collecting is a habit that sometimes would require a second mortgage to fully fund.
Thankfully I'm a little bit of a chip snob and by that I mean there's only about 3-4% of all the chips out there that appeal to me, but that said, seeing some of you with 3000-4000 of a chip makes me wonder if you're going to eventually run a side hustle or build a poker room somewhere?
Anything over 1000 I can't see ever being used in a game.
making me count, ok, i see stacks of 10
i figure 8-10 people is plenty.
This is a thread to post pron and discuss who has the biggest chips sets.It's all good Brie. I'm just letting you know that as much fun as I have with chips and designs, it's not something I feel like I have to spend the equivalent of a Bentley on in order to have the ultimate poker night. 800 chips is plenty for me, maybe some day I will break into the four digit barrier but for now, when I organize a tournament, it probably won't be with 40+ of my closest friends.
Maybe that's why I like Sunfly and ABC ceramics. They're sort of the perfect balance. They aren't crap quality like (many) China Clays or Dice Chips. I won't ever end up spending $3k+ for a playable set like old Paulson THC's or CPC's (although I admit I like the feel of CPC's) and most importantly, the designs are fun and vibrant. If I give some chips away, I want the people who receive them to love the design.
Speaking of which, I caught lightning in a bottle with the last of my custom Midnight Casino chips from the first run. I met a waitress who had the same birthday as me, just different year named Kayla. Kayla was ecstatic to get this single chip (literally the last chip I had available from the first run) bc she is a gambler and is going to carry it to Pechanga Casino in Temecula and keep it on her as her lucky poker chip.
I guess what I am trying to say is: I still get mind=blown by the concept that you use good quality chips with a huge tournament and all those people. I wouldn't even know where to find 40 people that would want to play poker, nor would I trust those peeps with expensive chips.
Well, let's shit on big sets in the post about big sets. PERFECT.
Did most people build sets or do individual racks with these? Was surprised this was biggest, but yeah that's not small.
Back on ignore, I guess.
Mostly 500-800 chip sets. A few random racks.
Surprised you didn't get the fracs to go with them. Those things have some great colors. The $500s have the best color but given the price and limited quantity, I can see why you don't have those.
Ben, can you help me on the chips vs plaques count, plaques were official after the chips right ?
Sorry about that... the plaques I believe were made with the set, the octagons I believe were made by @Potsie1 after the set.
some sets here are just HUGE - where are storing all these chips??Create an account or login to comment
