Hello to all of you here at PokerChipForum, the amount of information I have learned, as a very novice poker player, has been invaluable. All of you should be proud of what you have developed.
I've been lurking/learning here for some time now and want to get your opinion(s) on what I'm going to buy for my son. My son has always liked playing poker so after his first very successful semester of college I'm going to buy him a nice set of chips and we are going to learn together before he finishes college and takes off.
Here is what I am thinking and some questions at the end. For now we will have 4-6 players but might increase to more when we start playing so I want to have a little room for growth.
600 chip cash set of Pharaoh Apache Poker Chips chips with the following breakdown:
200 - 5 cent
200 - 25 cent
150 - $1
50 - 5$
Dealer Button
With something on the line I think the low demonization set will help with learning and concentration, I can always buy higher demonizations when/if needed.
I have an unused dinning table that is 46"x 86" so I am going to turn it into a poker table.
I am going to buy Suided Speed Cloth from YAT to cover it. We will see how it goes but I think I can later turn it into a proper poker table with rails and cup holders.
I would like to say I didn't buy any samples sets against all of your advise because I really don't think it applies in my case. I watched almost all of the @Hobbyphilic YouTube videos and think his opinions are enough for me to make a decision. Thank you to him for all the time and effort it takes to produce them.
I only have a few questions but very much value your opinions also.
Questions:
First, to confirm, is YAT "Your Auto Trim?" If not, where should I buy the suited speed cloth from?
Second, since my dining table is solid wood, should I also get the 3/16" foam padding? Maybe 1/4"?
Third, I haven't researched playing cards but are Bee cards the best?
Finally, what is the best online site to subscribe for practice?
Thank all of you again for this resource, especially the person(s) who started this site.
