Changing my T100 (1 Viewer)

[raynmanas]

After much consternation, I have concluded I am not happy with my existing T100, so I am going to include a new one in my upcoming add-on, and I have decided I want a simple black and canary. I have narrowed it down to 3 options.

So the question before you is which do you think flows best with the rest of the (already existing, please don't torture me with suggestions for changes to other chips) lineup?

A:

B:

C:

A is my vote but change the spots on the 25 too. It would be the only chip without “6” spot clusters, it’s out of place

that didn't take long.

 

[RichMahogany]

that didn't take long.

Or you can start with the T100 and turn the 25 into bounty chips

 

[RichMahogany]

Sorry, can’t help it. Looks too unbalanced to me if you change to a 618 T100

Of the options available, C. But I’d use DG yellow instead of Canary.

it was considered, but i prefer the darker canary with black.

 

[raynmanas]

also for those unaware, i suppose i should have shown the existing lineup i am looking to change:

i was originally paying tribute to my custom TRKs with the T100, but ever since i've had them in hand, it just isn't working in this set. i considered changing the butterscotch to another color, but the dual-colored edgespots on the T100 is not sitting well with me in any configuration. and i just can't get the simplicity of the WSOP black and yellow (can't remember which specific set it is) out of my head.

C from me, though the 618 is very nice too.
What did your current hundo look like?

You beat me to it; you posted as I was typing. Now I see.
I change my vote to A.
You have to exorcise the desing you didn't like.

 

[raynmanas]

well i was leaning towards A myself, but i also didn't realize 618 was going to cost 78% more per chip than 3DS316!

i think my wallet is going to end up having the deciding vote.

 

[cpac54]

1 for me! Spot progression looks good. The other options are too close imo to what you already have with the current lineup, esp. option 3.

 

[raynmanas]

well, i let my wallet decide and put in the order for option C...





...then less than a week later, i still could not get how much i prefer option A out of my head, decided to say f it, changed the order and sent more funds.

option A wins the day!

 

[mike32]

I say keep what you got. They ain’t that different and I think they look fine.

 

[CraigT78]

I voted A, then I read the thread.

Now I vote to keep your existing chip.

 

[raynmanas]

thanks guys, but the money is already gone - option A is showing up here regardless.

 

[raynmanas]

Of the options available, C. But I’d use DG yellow instead of Canary.

I thought about it a lot, and I did end up switching to DG Yellow at the last possible minute. Thanks!

618 is never the wrong answer. Ever.

I fail to see the problem with your existing lineup.

But if progression is your thing, then I'd rather see a 3-spot pattern for your lower denoms then a 6-spot pattern for your higher denoms, so C.

i'm fine with the existing progression, as i put a lot of thought into it, i just don't love the T100. i thought i would like the butterscotch/canary combo on black but it just isn't working for me visually. if i had gone all canary, i wouldn't be changing anything. but now that i am, i just prefer the 618 and still think it works well in the progression. it complements the T1000 nicely IMO.

but hey, i already placed the order so if you like my current T100s, they will likely be available for sale sometime later this year and are super easy to murder

I got my own black base T100K chip with 614 spots in the queue....

T100K damn lol. i was toying around with adding a barrel of a new T25k just for the hell of it since i had an order going anyway, but they will never get in play so i held back. are you playing a set with a base T500 or T1000 or something?

T5K base. A full set that's a tribute to the Casino Royale movie/book. So I can recreate the single table T10MM tourney (1000BB deep). Custom 500K, 1MM, and non-canon 5MM plaques.

So you're saying your original T100 wasn't.. good 'nuf?

I can't believe we made it almost two months without some idiot from Northern Europe making this joke. Somebody must've dreamt it up, but thought better of it. Not this guy.

 

[raynmanas]

some idiot from Northern Europe making this joke

is good'nuf some running joke in northern europe? it was the name of my irish/scottish grandfather's cottage, but i don't really know where he got it from - never thought much about it, the name was just always in my life.

Not at all! This phrase was meant as a self-derogatory reference to this classic Phil Hellmuth clip, and my own Northern European heritage.

Cool story about the Good Nuf name origin though!
