Back in the Saddle (1 Viewer)

[Dread_Pirate_Roberts]

Back in the saddle after the world shut down. Took a break for the last 3 years.

Looking into an appropriate tourney set and maybe a cash game set. Advice and info welcome.

I have custom table with Shuffle Tech in FMK.

Used to do 10-12 person tournaments and random low level cash games. Thinking of getting back into it, but want to upgrade from basic Amazon starter sets.

Was thinking of a set of Milanos, but then questioned if I should just jump all the way in...

No mold Tina's are pretty solid. My non chipper groups really liked my binions Horseshoe cash no molds. Dropping a quick 1k on CPC for some stock designs will last a long time if you want to to take your time shopping for bigger end paulsons.

Thanks for the note. I am fairly ignorant - "No Mold Tinas" and "Horseshoe Cash no molds"? I know CPC and Paulsons...

Justin runs group buys all the time. They take the boat from China, but they are the best bang for the buck. Check it out. You can get setup with a 2 table tourney set for around $300 (~800 peices).

@wickedwonka121 - so are this like CPC, just full "lots" that you get at a better rate per chip?

These are low-cost ceramic chips from China so extremely different than CPC.

oh, I am not sure I want Ceramic Chips - I was playing at a home game someone had and they felt "slippery" and didn't "sound right".

They are the next best jump from the amazon basic stuff you metuoned. I have some samples I can send to you for free. I bought them to guage their feel and sound. I'll pm you.

Common complaint.
Maybe it’s time to shell out for some real clays.

- Do you plan on buying separate sets for tournaments and cash games?
- Do you have a price range for Paulsons/CPCs?

If you’re okay with paying around $2 per chip, both are great options. We often associate CPC and Paulson closely in terms of quality here, but in my opinion CPCs are very unique. I’d suggest ordering a sample of the Rounders CSQ or Atlantic Club H/S (stock designs). Samples can be had under $20. You can check out their prices for customs too.

Hello and welcome!

There are high end sample sets from all different manufacturers and base compositions for free evaluation with sign-up. It seems you are edging toward clays, though.

Love the name!!! Not sure if it refers to the movie or Ross. But either way it’s a good name!

I think clays are the way to go.
