A new Aussie Chipper's first Premium chip set? (1 Viewer)

[Newenne]

After coming out of retirement for Faro Dunes, I decided to start doing a stocktake of my cupboards

This is the new family pic of Faros

And then their brothers and sisters came out for photos

Many thanks to @cpiaaq for helping get my chippies to me. Absolutely legendary chipper

Man that's a good collection. I'm jealous!

Props to you!

For record keeping purposes did a 3 year catch and release on these guys. Took a hit of a few hundred USD including shipping and conversion fees both ways. Here's to an Aussie trading post in the near future.

IOC cash set - 900 chips

very nice, makes me wish I didn't let go of my numerous sets of Paulson's back in the chip talk days.

I wish I was around in the chip talk days :/

few of the sets I had. I cant find any photos of the St joes Paulsons, Mardi Gras Chipcos or Desert Palm BCCS

I still currently have Royal Yak Chipcos and Bud Jones CIC Americana Aruba/Aruba Caribbean.

These Faro Dunes genuinely made me feel like questioning if I even need any of my other cash sets. What do I do now, @TheChipVault

Hi Newenne

Ive got paulsons because i always wanted them. to me they are the ducks guts. Its taken over 10 years to get a set i really like (sell some then buy a rack here a rack there) then i relabeled them to tie it all together.

Here's the thing. I recently bought a rack of snappers for $300 USD. Landed in Oz with postage is about $550 AUD. Playing with chips that are $5.50 each is kind of insane.

But the heart wants what the heart wants.

Also keep an eye out for the next Chip room sale. in fact there are still some Harras paulsons on sale from the 2024 sale.

good luck

Geoff

If only my insanity capped out at this level

This weekend was the first time I got to try any of my sets 9 handed. Have usually capped out at 7. Was tempted to sub in the AS cash set because I was worried
the Faro Dunes set I got at 120/180/180/20/0 was too small. It was juuuuuuust enough for a 25c/50c - $50 buy in. We ended up with about $1k on the table.

Question is do you dedicate a set for smaller games and use other, bigger sets for bigger games or..... max them all out.

I think I will cap this one at 200/200/180/20/0

And also, my verdict is one rack of fracs is not enough. 10 handed you can make do with 120 but why just make do?

If it's your favorite set and it's relatively feasible from a financial and availability standpoint, I would max that set out. Add a few racks and the set can cover your current game or a bigger game if your game grows.

No need for me to elaborate, you could hear my voice already, especially when you mention 10 handed NLHE

10 handed NLHE

Next time we'll start them with a tourney with the AST set then whoever is left can play cash. That's still the dream
