How many sets of chips is to many? (1 Viewer)

[TopsyCretts]

Very happy with these. The Tiki Kings feel the best to me followed closely by the Dunes.
The Outlaw set is also great and in my opinion the best in that price range.

Here are their uses:
Tiki Kings: 860 pieces- Tournament set up to 20 people
Dune’s: 1,000 pieces- Cash set up to 20 people (.25-.50) (.50-1.00) (1.00-2.00)
Outlaw: 500 pieces- For travel games at friends’ houses-cash games up to 8-10 people (.25-.50) (.50-1.00)

I really want a Rounders set or a nice set of Paulson’s eventually but the prices are crazy. Might build it slowly rack by rack to cap off the collection.

Cheers

I’d say you don’t need more than 2. A cash and a tourney set. But, as I am topping 20 now, I’ll let you know when I hit too many.

Hey you can fit a few more sets on that table

 

[allforcharity]

437 is too many. No, I don't have that many.






Yet.

 

[RichMahogany]

All I know is that one is not enough

 

[TopsyCretts]

Agreed!

*too

If you ask me, I haven't hit the "too many" mark yet. If you ask my wife, I hit it quite a while ago.

That said, I am currently at 16 cash sets and 6 tourney sets with about 4 more sets still being built.

I think the sweet spot for me is around 10 sets. I like variety.
When I can no longer afford Ramen noodles I'll know I have too many sets. Until then I will keep getting more.

I used to get the eye roll and hard time when the packages came obviously heavy from being poker chips. Now I don't hear a peep about it. They are always on the table or by the stairs.
She does encourage me to host poker nights so I get use out of them tho instead of just collecting.

At peak I think I was up to 16 sets. My players joke that they’d never played with the same set twice. I’m paring it back now… but still have 8-9.

 

[MidnightGambel]

Just one more and that’ll do it.

Well, maybe just one more after that…

 

[TheChipVault]

The answer is 1 is too many... it's the same answer as 'how many hits of crack is too many'

That seems reasonable haha

Do you mean in the state I live in? In the region? In the country? On the entire planet?

[BamaT8ter]

Just one more set and I’ll finally be enough.

 

[joeyshin]

You need cash and tourney set of TRKs, THCs, RHCs, ASM/CPC, and some ceramics

So 10 sets is bare minimum? Lol

 

[ovo]

@ovo

no idea

 

[iLogik]

Not enough…

Took a few years break in between cos of work and starting a family, got a new milano set when I returned and satisfied with it for a couple years before taking another break.

Covid happen and With extra cash, I wanted to get another new set, found PCF and 3 years later I now at 14 sets so I let u know when is the max number.

3*. Don’t forget a dedicated limit set.

I use the same rule for poker chips as I do for my bicycles.

n + 1 = the correct amount of chips/bikes to own.

(n = amount of chips/bikes I own at any given time)
