In the end I went with the following: 120 x 1 300 x 5 120 x 25 60 x 100 To be fair most of the comments were not too far from each other, with most recommending that I had well over gunned it on the 1's. Must get some decent cards now.

You wern't kidding, I just looked at the playing card threads. I thought chips and chip breakdown were subjective! I am almost reluctant to ask for advice on this one in case I start an internal PCF war:(. May look in Spinettis or the Gamblers General Store when I visit in a couple of weeks. I...

Finally placed my order. I went for 600 semi custom Valentino poker room chips from BR Pro. He has brightened the colours up for me and the samples look great. They should be waiting for me at my hotel when I visit Vegas in a few weeks. Thank you all for your input. Need to start lookin at...

Thanks for the info guys. I've only been a member for a couple of weeks but already learned loads. Thanks pedrofisk for clarifying the rack/barrel issue. I will sit down later this evening and re- evaluate my chip breakdown, but at least I can now I can do it based on solid info. Thanks again...

Wow, thanks for the swift replies. I am now assuming now from all of your posts, that the common breakdowns structures that you read about on the internet ie, 60/30/10 or 40/40/10/10 is probably wrong? In the first instance it does seem logical I suppose to think about loading up at the front...

Hi guys I am about to pull the trigger on my first set of decent poker chips. It will probably be Ascona's or possibly semi custom Valentino's. But now I need to work out my breakdown. As I live in the UK, I was thinking about chips with values but no currency symbol, hence my leaning towards...

Just been checking out all things ceramic at the moment. I had almost made up my mind that I should go for china clays, but now looking at some of your comments I am seriously looking at ceramics. One chip that has taken my fancy regarding aethetics is the semi custom Valentino's. Has anyone...

Those ascona' s look quite classy! I googled hybrids and also found a company doing the Rounders copies in ceramic and hybrid. The hybrids are more expensive which puzzles me slightly. I would have thought a chip with an embossed centre would be better than one with a sticker? What is the...

Sorry to show my ignorance but i am very new to all this, but you used the term "hybrid ceramic". Is a hybrid ceramic different to a standard ceramic or is it the same thing?

First of all thanks to all for the positive replies, it's not easy being a chip virgin! I have checked out the Apache website and that option does look like my best bet at the moment. The Milano's and the Majestics were on my hit list, but since looking at the website I also like the look of...

Hi guys My wife and I are taking a vacation to Las Vegas in April. Now I have been looking to replace my cheap plastic poker chips for sometime now, and was looking to buy them while I was in Vegas. So I was wondering what my options were? I have found two stores online, Spinettis and the...

Hi from the UK. Just thought I would introduce myself. I am still quite new to poker, and even newer to the dark side of poker chips. I am still using on my first set of chips that I bought from Amazon for £30. I started looking at buying a new set and came across this site. Oh dear, I now...
