Sitting Out
Hi everybody!
I've lurked here quite a bit over the last year or so as I was researching my chip purchase, so thanks to everybody for all of the useful info you guys have accumulated here!
I ended up going with a set of 10g Classic Ceramics from The Poker Store. I know they're not as fancy as Paulsons or some such, but I'm very happy with them.
My cash game set is ~850 chips, ranging from $0.25 up to $20, for a total of ~$1,550. My group of 7/8 are mostly pretty new to the game, so we've been playing limit games like $0.50/$1.00 fixed or $0.50 - $2.50 spread. Everybody buys in for $50, and that's lasted even the biggest losers each night our whole 5-ish hour session, so I've got plenty of headroom in my set. I had originally ordered fewer quarter and 1-dollar chips, but I think my players prefer to have a larger number of chips to start, so I recently got another 125 of each of each. Now everybody starts with 40 quarters and 40 dollars. Everybody seems to be enjoying it so far! I haven't lost any players yet, and the game's grown each month. I even have a few more that I know are interested, but I'm not sure if we could/should squeeze in more than 8.
My tourney chip set is ~500 pieces and ranges from T25s up to T5,000s. I have T1,000 starting stacks in the tubes ready to go, and then we just add on however many more higher-value chips depending on how long of a tournament we want.
