Sitting Out
Well the wait is over. I present to you my first real poker chip set.
Thanks!Impressive tower!
Thank you. I’m going to stay away from Paulsons Chips for as long as I can. I don’t even want to play with samples after reading this forum! I came from dice chips so I’m going to enjoy this upgrade for as long as I can.Congrats! Very well done. And you will always remember your first.
Thanks!Congrats! Insane tower
Keywords are "for as long as I can". And you uttered those words twice in one post.Thank you. I’m going to stay away from Paulsons Chips for as long as I can.

They sure are. They did an awesome job. I love them!Great looking chips!
Are those from BR Pro?
Yes this is what I’m afraid of, hence the reason not to even get sample and enjoy this upgrade for as long as possible!Keywords are "for as long as I can". And you uttered those words twice in one post.
There is an inevitably to the whole thing.
Ceramics are the gateway drug to Paulsons just as surely as any futile attempts to control your urges while staring across at a naked Scarlett Johansson. Eventually that old eyed snake will rise to the occasion whether you want to or not.
Thanks. Took an hour or so, but was fun to see it grow.Dude, that spiral tower!! Ridiculous!
Chips look good too
No way, absolutely not, no full custom Sunfly 43mm Polylnno set for this man! Ok maybe, way way down the road!Woah ! These are well rendered.
I always thought the color palette that Sunfly used for their default Valentinos are flat, muted and uninspiring.
Glad you managed to turn this on its head. Your choice of colors make them really pop and finally do the Valentinos some justice. Well done, Sir.
A full custom Sunfly 43mm PolyInno set further down the road ?
Thank you.Congrats and thanks for sharing the pics. That's a great set you have.
I thought the same thing about the colors being muted, but I was still in love with the chip. So after seeing the High Roller version of the Valentino’s, I said hey the High Roller colors with the original Valentino font would be awesome, and here we are! They turned out great.Woah ! These are well rendered.

Love these two uninterested family members...reminds me of my family..."were playing a game and we're going to have fun!"Got the chips in play with the family!View attachment 396543View attachment 396544View attachment 396545View attachment 396548
Lol, no. But the idea is when I get to build my man cave, I want to add a dedicated poker room with "Buckingham Palace Poker Room" at the entrance!Buckingham palace! Love it - do the players have to call you "your majesty"
Yeah I've been reading about this, and been given this advice multiple times. I think I'm safe for the moment, since we only do $20 buy-ins. Only the $5 chips will get in play for our cash games. We usually only have a couple rebuys. Our next cash game will be the first time we play with fracs and .25/.50 blinds, as we usually play $1/$2 with 20 chips! Needless to say that goes pretty fast with only 10 big blinds. Who knew we were doing it all wrong! I have learned so much from this forum.Good quality ceramics, like these, are lovely chips. I have three sets from ABC/BrPro poker and they look identical to the day I bought them. My only advice is for you to get yourself for $20 chips/plaques so your tourney and cash set never mix.
For a $20 buy-in, play .25/.25 - it'll be 80 big blinds which is a much more reasonable starting stack. You can also use $20 bills if you ever run out of $5 chips.Yeah I've been reading about this, and been given this advice multiple times. I think I'm safe for the moment, since we only do $20 buy-ins.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try, but I have a feeling the fellas will be hard to convince. Imagine playing $1/$2 with $20 for over a decade! Hopefully I can convince them.For a $20 buy-in, play .25/.25 - it'll be 80 big blinds which is a much more reasonable starting stack. You can also use $20 bills if you ever run out of $5 chips.
After taking down the tournament, I still wanted some time with my new chips, lol!View attachment 396546View attachment 396547
Mine grumbled also ("why is the small blind not smaller than the big blind") but the games plays so much better - more skill than gamble! Your alternative would be to play 25c/50c and up the max buy-in to $40. If someone wants to buy in for $20, then they can but if you want to have a more sensible stack, you can also.Thanks for the advice.
