Haha! I knew I had seen that combo before. These have to be the most organic... gluten free, farm-to-table 5s ever made.

@TheChipRoom are the doorbuster items the only HSI chips that will be offered individually?

HI Jim, @TheChipRoom , are there going to be limits on the individual IOC chips ?

These WSOP look like an inception with the chip itself as inlay.

What were they thinking with the yellow backgrounds for the edge writing on the Chipco WSOPs? I'd be interested in hearing other people's opinions on those. I don't think the faces are too bad, but the stacks look terrible because of the yellow edges IMO.
I wouldn't say terrible. In fact, I think the dark blue 500s look great with the yellow. It's a distinctive look. I guess if there were just a little less yellow and a little more base color on the edges, i might like them a lot.
The fact is (as far as I'm concerned) most ceramic chips have poop edges. In that context, these are fairly middle of the road - not great, not terrible.
I wonder if the lower denoms are mint. They certainly appear to be in pretty good condition.

I agree that the Blue look best. I think that is because the blue compliments the yellow well. The problem is that the green and the brown don't go well with the yellow, and those chips are 2/3 of the set. I also agree that it would not look as bad if the amount of yellow on the edge was less.

So, for a tournament chip newbie like me, how do you run the tournament (starting stacks, blinds, etc.) with this awesome set?
Single table T10K
16/16/8/4 with 5 rebuys using 2xT5K each
or 16/16/8/4/1 T15K freezeout
Not enough 1ks for that.
Noticed that after I posted
12/12/5/1/1
Suks not having more 1k they are normaly a workhorse chip
or as allforcharity said above
16/16/8/4
puts lots of 25's in play but you have the chips to color up, problem is ;ack of 1k for later color ups
Yeah, these were probably used (or intended to be used) for 5K stacks, so they didn't need a lot of 1Ks per starting stack. From what I've seen, most of those circuit events have pretty short stacks. But there's no reason that can't be done at home - starting at 25/50, that's 100 big blinds. Start it at 25/25, that's 200 big blinds. Just move up gradually. Or have long levels.Noticed that after I posted

As a newbie here what are peoples opinions on the use of snappers? And more specifically for this set since it uses .5 chip instead of a quarter. I'm also assuming the stakes to be .5/.5. Do many use them in cash games or do they just complicate things? Having the snappers might be very cool since they are a great looking chip but I may get more utility out of the the set that has more $5 chips. Having 200 fracs seems like overkill anyways.
It ultimately comes down to your personal preference and how your game plays and your stakes. Some believe the less redundant denominations, the better, so it is easier to make decisions like counting pot-size quickly in a hand etc. This is why 4x-5x the previous denomination is popular in set breakdowns. Others just love more chips and variety, so they will welcome denominations like snappers, despite the denominations surrounding them potentially making them unnecessary. However, more to my very first point, maybe that is a very popular bet amount or workhorse chip in your own games. Maybe it will be. Or maybe you just love the chip and want to make it work; more power to you if so.
I am a newbie too though so maybe someone else can fill in some things I missed.

Thoughts on a replacement $5 for the IOC set? I can’t see myself using that $5

I think a lot of different 5s would fit well in this lineup though

That makes sense. Since my games play super small if I do end up pulling the trigger on this i think the set with the prettiest colors may win. Since i don't need to worry about needing a lot of 5s and 25s would never get used.
I really like the HSI primary 5Thoughts on a replacement $5 for the IOC set? I can’t see myself using that $5
Is it the yellowing that occurs on Light Pink?

Is anybody going for an Isle of Capri KC sample set but does not want one of the 50c chips? That's literally the only chip I want. Just one. I'll pay $11 shipped for one of them. PM me. Otherwise I'll just buy a whole sample set then sell the rest. Assuming I can click fast enough I imagine.
