I have good NL sets but I'm considering doing limit games because it's simpler. Should I get a new set specifically for limit games?

Please explain? Limit is a totally different beast, many here use limit sets to teach mixed games as pot limit can be extremely dangerous on split Omaha games.I'm considering doing limit games because it's simpler.
^^Correct answer, beat me too it - lol.On the behalf of all members of PCF: YES
Dude - long time. Very good to see you!!!Please explain? Limit is a totally different beast, many here use limit sets to teach mixed games as pot limit can be extremely dangerous on split Omaha games.
Curious what is meant by simpler? I am personally not a huge fan of limit poker... if you don't play the proper stakes it can play extremely slow and boring (for the record many here are still limit fans so I don't speak for all)
As to "should I buy another set?" The answer is always YES moar chips is always better... but make sure you pick the right stakes or maybe consider a NCV set so the values of the chops can change as the game grows.
I was lucky enough to put this one together a few years back

And still haven't even started relabeling the Black's as $20s... tells you how often I need a limit set! But still recommend buying one if you have the itch for MOAR chips!

@detroitdad
I believe I read you are a fan of limit games, no? Do you recommend purchasing an entirely different for limit or just add more to your NL set?
I'm gonna probably do 1/2 limit, should I get 1s, 20s, and 100s?
$1/2 would play better with tons of quarters. (To make it a 4-chip/8-chip structure.)I'm gonna probably do 1/2 limit, should I get 1s, 20s, and 100s?
Hod'em and circus gamesI like having two racks of the work horse chips per player. Then you only need one big chip.
What games are you thinking of playing limit?
Do you want the set to be flexible? Do you ever intend on raising the stakes?
How many players?
ok, I have 200 quarters$1/2 would play better with tons of quarters.
You’ll want 200 quarters per player.ok, I have 200 quarters
So 1600 for 8 players?You’ll want 200 quarters per player.
Ideally, but you could get by with less work horse chips and add some value chips ($5s would work). You don’t actually play with the value chips. You just exchange them at the table with someone with a bunch of betting chips as needed.So 1600 for 8 players?
It means 50c/$1 blinds, yes.And $1/$2 Limit means 50c/$1 stakes, hence the reason for all the quarters. Right?
.25/.25What stakes do you normally play for PL and NO games?
you would need $.25 or $.50 chips to play 1/2 limit. With $1's, you would want to play 2/4 limit at the lowest level. Small blind would be $1, BB would be $2. Moving to the bigger bet, you would be betting in increments of $4I'm gonna probably do 1/2 limit, should I get 1s, 20s, and 100s?
