Sitting Out
Post your first big poker chip purchase here. What got you into chipping?
After some research I settled on china clays because they were most compatible with my budget. I chose the Pharaohs because I am a big fan of the edge spot progressions and colors. The set on the left is intended to be a Father's day gift for my dad's new man cave. My thinking is it will serve well as a cash game set for 25c - 50c blinds and a $50 buy in. The set on the right is a micro stakes cash set for myself as I intend to use the $5s as nickels and so on. I live about 5 minutes away from my dad, so I'm thinking he can borrow some of my chips if he ever wants to expand his game or try a tournament and vice versa. I know the pharaoh set has 5c chips, but I wasn't a fan of the colors on those. The $25 and $500 chips are my favorite, so I had to build my own set to include those. I also ordered my first barrel of Paulsons with this set! I really like the Paulsons and will probably collect some more, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford a whole set of them! Maybe some day. Overall I am happy with these chips and am already considering buying more! I think it would be cool to have each player at my 8-seat table be able to start with a whole rack. Love massive stacks!
