Sitting Out
Hey Guys,
I'm looking to buy a set of chips for NLHE cash games $1/2 - $5/10 (6-8 players), and was hoping to get some recommendations on the cheaper side. I got sample sets of the Poker Knights chips and Majestic chips from Apache, and I'm having trouble deciding if I like the heavier chips.
I'm currently considering the Showdown chips (13.5g, $0.16/chip), Milanos (10g, $0.34/chip), and Majestics (10g, $0.42/chip), all from Apache. My plan was to buy 1k chips in the following breakdown:
150 x $1
550 x $5
200 x $25
75 x $100
25 x $500
My biggest issue with the heavier chips was they look substantially worse and seem to be imperfect. Sometimes the top edges hang out a bit too much, or the side isn't perfectly smooth. Additionally, the sample set I had has two chips with off center stickers. Is this just what happens when you buy cheaper chips? Are the Majestics really worth 2.5x the price? The Majestics certainly look way sharper and brighter than the cheaper chips. That being said, shuffling them has a light clicking sound as opposed to the heavy thuds of the 13.5g chips.
Any advice on this or other recommendations would be appreciated. I'd prefer to spend less than $300 on the 1k chips, but I would be okay going higher if it really was worth it.
