Hello from Hong Kong! Been a long time NLHE player, used to hit up Macau on a weekly basis, but since the death of the super low limit casino games, I've been playing weekly home games with some buddies.
Never knew much about poker chips until my girlfriend said she wanted to buy me a nice set for my birthday, and asked me which ones were good. Being completely clueless, I did a quick google search and the Monte Carlos looked just a level above the dice chips, so I asked for those, but to my surprise my girlfriend says "I read those are crap, don't you want something nicer?" So I dug a little deeper and found this forum...and now I realize how deep the rabbit hole goes.
This is bad news for me because I have had a history of getting addicted to collecting random things. I own every premium keyboard out there like limited edition customized Realforces, custom built MX cherry boards, and also a large collection of high end folding knives. Chips are a whole new level in $$, however. Good luck to my bank account I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hope you guys can help me on my journey to find a nice chip set!
