2 player cash game (2 Viewers)

Alright guys talking with @davislane ... how about a little Christmas at the end of July!

I have tons on 14 gram Monte Carlos Laying around. I ran the #s and this would work for our friend I think.

While I understand a cash set sounds cool, many of us started out playing tournaments. You can play for fun, you can play for $1... you can play for $500! Whatever works for you.

what I have available is:
A T5 based T2K starting stack for 10 players.

Starting stacks would be
10 x T5 = 50 x 10 = 100
10 x T25 = 250 x 10 = 100
7 x T100 = 700 x 10 = 70
2 x T500 = 1,000 x 10 = 20

Chip up #1 no T5s x 100 = 500/(round up) 750 we would need (14) T25 (4) T100

Chip up #2 no T25s x 114 = 2850/(ru) 3900 we would need (24) T100 (3) T500

Chip up #3 no T100s x 98 = 9800/(ru) 15,000 we need (30) T500

Total Chip set:
T5 - 100
T25 - 114
T100 - 98
T500 - 53

I would suggest a Tournament structure like:

Level : 20 minutes
1) 5/10
2) 5/15
3) 10/20
4) 15/30
5) 20/40
6) 35/70
Break/ chip up #1
7) 50/100
8) 75/150
9) 100/200
10) 150/300
11) 200/400
Break/ chip up #2
12) 300/600
13) 400/800
14) 600/12000
15) 800/1600
Break/ chip up #3
13) 1000/2000
14) 1500/3000
15) 2000/4000
16) 2500/5000

With all of that being said I have this

These same chips are available through Jackspoker and when he is ready he can add on with higher denoms a little at a time. Just a head start to start a chipping journey. I would also include the Green chips previously discussed in the box

Somehow I would like to hear that the parents are OK with all of this. I don't want to get in trouble sending chips to a minor. Again @davislane has offered to possibly talk to the parents. If all of that is cleared up and ok, this will cost about $80 to send them to him. Anyone that wants to chip in a couple dollars is welcome to do so but absolutely not required!

@NA5CSPoker these can also be used for a cash game, where we use what we call a multiplier. $.05 x 100 = $5, so we would use the $5 chips as $.05, the $25 chips as quarters, the $100s as dollars and the $500 chips as $5s. So you don't have to buy different chips for a cash game if you prefer to play cash as opposed to a tournament.

Looks like you have taken a fancy to poker sized cards so I will also be including a set of my personal "custom" poker sized cut cards and a few samples. A cool set of Super Poker World ceramics, some casino RHCs in a little shuffle stack from Diamond Jo's and a few Random THC'S... nice little starter set

Chips will be packed in the racks so you don't have to buy them either. As long as your parents say it's ok we will pack all of this up and send them to you free! Save your money for your buy ins! Haha

Too funny... but Ben Book coming! Haha

Man oh man I wish I had found a forum like this at that age... you guys think I'm bad withb3 years in the hobby... wow the collection would be insane at this point and yes I was playing poker at that age!

Welcome @NA5CSPoker ! I was contacted by @TX_Golf_N_Poker about your chips. I have no idea how I got these, someone used them as fillers long ago in some racks.

I have 48 of them and only the greens. Some of the white suits are coming off just a bit but I would be happy to give them to you.

If anyone else in the US has some of these chips please hit me up and let's see if we can get a package together that's worth while to send to Australia! I will be happy to cover the shipping, but if we could get a couple hundred more of these I would love to make that happen!

I started out with those cheap interlocking Bicycle chips. We found a whole set at a yards sale for $2 and played wthie/red/blues only every single weekend for years!

If anyone knows where I can purchase them even, I would buy them and send them on their way.

This one pulls on the ole heart strings a little bit! In a world gone to all social media and online interactions, a young man still looking forward to an old fashioned poker game is just too cool! Most of us are just big kids with over priced toys bud!

I have dealer buttons, cut cards, decks of cards, anything I can help with as long as the parents are OK with it.

Wish slugged chips were cheap to send. We have soo many chips sitting around that we really don't need. I gave a full playable set to my 11 year old cousin about a year ago and she loves them.

Let me know how I can help, and again if anyone has these suits chips... the ones he is looking for are about 4 grams each. Let me know if you have any!

You would NOT reveal it online. You'd only give it to Ben in a private message (PM) and Ben won't even ship to you unless he has permission from your parents. We totally understand you're a minor and applaud your maturity about revealing private information. You should be very cautious. And if your parents say no, we completely understand.
 
I would be 100% ok with sending the whole thing to @davislane in Australia, @NA5CSPoker at that point you could give him a phone number, a parent could give him the address and verify that everything is ok and you address is never online, only give over the phone.

BUT, I absolutely 100% agree, some toal stranger wants to send me a bunch of stuff for free, It's super creepy! For the record many people on here have sent me things for free just because they wanted to be nice. I was just trying to pass that generosity along, and pay it forward.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing your own thing and saying no thanks! I was just trying to help.

If you decide you are interested, just let me know! As others have said, very wise to NOT give personal info online!

Best of luck with your chipping journey!

Ben

Those are 10g ceramics with a debossed mold, and 100% printed (no label). The debossed ceramic diamond mold is available from Sun-Fly and a few Chinese retailers.

Jacks Poker has no clue what they are selling.

If those are accurate photos, I guarantee they are printed ceramics. And 10 grams.

google Sun-Fly polyclay, or search on PCF

Anyone got their hands on the new Jack's Diamond range? I pretty much have the same questions as those above
 
I thought they looked like Sun-Fly polyclay's when I saw them at first but I don't get how they could be for that price ...

100% label. Look and feel more like a plastic chip than a ceramic.

Comparison to Matsui Emerald Bay. The weight of 7 chips by hand feels similar.

Scale tells another story.

7 chips.

looks like Jacks Poker was telling the truth about the weight and label.

Big shout out to @sharik224 for picking up the samples and taking the photos for us chip nerds to study this new creature from Down Under!
 
It's like chip inception => Chinese plastic clones of Chinese ceramic clones of American molded clay chips
