I originally posted the back story and starter pics of this set as an offshoot in my skittles set thread, but after fine tuning the set a bit I figured it deserved it's own pron thread
This set was originally built to host a single table $2/$4 dealer's choice limit night. In the past I was lucky to get 5-6 guys to put NLHE on the back burner for an evening, but the last couple of times I've hosted, I've gotten great feedback, and my players are starting to request this more. So, I wanted to expand the set juuuuust in case by some miracle we got enough players to open two tables. Plus I really enjoy building sets, lol. So what I've done here is to put together a set with 16 racks of casino $1s, enough for two full tables of 8. I've bought and sold racks along the way, and I now have the set kind of split by table - 8 racks of live $1s from vegas (all but the Planet Hollywoods are THC, ideally I'd like to swap those for a rack of Casino Royales), and another 8 racks of some of my favorite $1s, like Foxwoods, Taj Mahal & Hard Rock AC. For the games that need antes, I've got ~130 Joker's Wild quarters that have been cherry picked from like 4 different racks, so they're all nearly the same color and in excellent shape. For rebuys, I bounced back and forth between using a rack of Palm Beach Cruise Line $25s and MSK plaques, and I think I've finally settled in with the plaques. Thanks to everyone who helped me assemble the set, rack by rack (and in some cases, chip by chip).
