Sitting Out
Hi everyone. I'm brand new here.
This all started about 2 weeks ago. I've been playing poker for about 15 years and decided to start up a home game again. I bought a decent table and then some chips on amazon. 1000 chips for around $200 bucks. I thought they would be cool because amazon said so. They're the Monte Carlo Poker Club set. "Clay Composite". They arrived and I instantly realized they sucked. They didn't have the feel I wanted. So I started looking. Found some thread saying "Paulson" chips were the best. Found a small set on Apache, then got convinced that I should just buy the Majestic set that Apache offers. Bought those because they were real clay chips. Received them and again am pretty disappointed... I dont hate them or anything, they're fine but I they're not what I am looking for. So here I am now, down the god damn worm hole that I had no idea existed, into this world of hard core poker chip lovers. I'm so jealous of all of you who flash their beautiful sets of chips I dont know what to do with myself. So here I am at this point, ready to spend a few grand on a great set.
I'm here introducing myself because I have a feeling I might make some friends, but also here asking for some help to put together an awesome set (or multiple sets) for my home game.
I met a guy on eBay (super nice guy) who somehow him and I have become friends. He has a set of Horseshoe South Indiana chips for me. He also sold me a bunch of $1. He's a fellow chip lover. I think I may just go with this HSI set (learning lingo), but also interested in seeing what else is out there and what makes everyone else tick.
I'm learning your lingo, I'm studying all I can. But for now, I want a great set of chips. I'd love some suggestions if you have them.
Thanks
Sean
