It’s what you need, and then some, I presume, which is the way to go. Super easy to add another rack of $5s and/or a rack of $20s if your game changes. Or go the other way and add the .05, of course.It's definitely a minimalistic set. I've been thinking nickel add-on but I can use my other set for 5c/10c. Still may happen though
I added an .05 and an .10 to my first cash set because it fit the theme and my core group used to play a couple wacky games that specifically called for them and that could escalate quickly so starting at .05 and .10 was the way to go. Since I’ve received my set, I’ve literally used the .05s and .10s exactly one time. Hehe.
My experience: if you get the .05s don’t go for more than a rack!

Yeah, obviously some people are super collectors and/or felt them all but I barely felt one set to say nothing of the other handful I own!

After almost 4 months of waiting for all the regs to be able to attend, this set was FINALLY felted for our Half-Century game!
The initial buy in was $50, which is double the usual, and we played Hold'em, Omaha, crazy pineapple and Chicago high. Spread limit and pot limit.
In for $50 and out for $137. I knowingly made a shitty Omaha turn call and stacked my nemesis on the river - had just over 2:1 and I had the nut flush and boat draws. I tanked for so long and said "I don't think I can call" multiple times, asked my friend I'd he'd run it twice (no), finally said fuck it knowing I was making the wrong decision. After months of paying well and not hitting draws, I hit when I played bad...I'll take it! After that I had two more big hands against him where I played well and got paid off.
No one even noticed the chips until someone said "cool felt I didn't notice that" and I said something like "ya almost as cool as the chips."
First flop has 72:

It is very difficult not to like your set and table. I have looked at your set in the chip DB many times for ideas. That 25 cent chip with the maroon spot turned out awesome. It looks even better in a live setting. Thanks for sharing.

God damn that is a hell of a bar setup, and those nachos look better than most I've seen come from restaurant kitchens!

Thanks!
The 212 frac..."this is the way." As mentioned above, the retro red with maroon spot combo is popular. I really liked seeing the chips on the table too as the base colors really pop on a subtle black layout. The colors also have a "flow" to them too - combine the colors from the quarter and one and you get the spots on the $5. This wasn't planned, I just wanted color progression (is this even a term? less contrast in smaller denoms, growing to more contrast to the larger ones), and to incorporate the light blue and retro red that I've always liked seeing together.

My shuffle stacks are getting some "character." Yesterday I knocked 5 yellows off my desk onto my laminate floor and got a couple of big flea bites.

I dig the retro red w/ 212 maroon quarter. I tried many color combos on my quarter, all 212 with a light/dark theme including this exact combo. It lost by default once I landed on a retro red $5 but it is great. Definitely their best red.
Butterscotch w/chocolate ended up winning in my set, seemed to fit the bourbon theme best for me. Peach w/dg orange was too close a second so I made an alternate $.50 using that combo but switched the spot to 314.
Great set.

If I didn't do a Cali/bright theme here, I probably would have gone with the butterscotch and chocolate combo. I have an old sample of solid butterscotch, Mandarin and imperial blue chips and they go well together. Always liked this on the Key West chips too.

Thanks. After going through some fancier iterations with J5 and settling on this design, he said something like "sometimes simple is the best."
Just like your J. Finney's design. Simple and old school always works for me.

No they wouldn't see the felt given the stakes we play. I actually rotate different barrels of 5s into the games so they all get some felt time.
I love the idea of a limit set, and I've considered a 50c for $1/$2 limit and using the $5s as the value chip. I can't seem to come up with anything that would fit into the existing set's flow though.
I have a non-denom limit set on the way because I was looking for flexibility in the units. Something to consider- it wouldn't necessarily need to fit the flow. I actually designed it so it would have a different look while still being consistent in the overall feel of the set, much like a casino's chips evolve over time.

Overcast shuffle stacks. These CSQs break in right quick.

Last night all of the founding members of Club 72 got together - the fist time since xmas. We played 1/2 fixed limit HORS.
The set continues to build character:
I enjoy the set getting broken in like this, but last night I had adream nightmare about MASSIVE flea bites on my quarters and eventually a barrel or so of them crumbling up into little pieces. What does this mean??? I'm gonna need therapy

Two more Club 72 members (from our high school grad class) joined us for the first time last night!
One guy had NEVER played poker before, so I got out the cheat sheet from my KEM setup, stuck to hold'em for a while, and moved to pineapple later. I must have made 15-20 cocktails, but my energy level remained high and it was a great night catching up.
In for $100, out for $148 - draws were hitting and big cards were holding up! Worm would have told me "Fuck you and your never ending string of boats" (I had a few of them).
