My First Chip Set (1 Viewer)

[JL19]

Hey all! I recently just got my first chip set to replace my cheap dice chips. Ended up going with the Desert Heats. I definitely see the flashing issues and the 5’s unfortunately are fairly darker than some samples I previously ordered, but for their price they’ll be a decent inexpensive set I can use with friends as the blinds we play are pretty inconsistent (.05/.10, .10/.25, and the very rare .25/.50). I’m already looking forward to trying to establish a more consistent game hopefully at .25/.50, which should give me a good excuse to splurge on a nicer and more permanent set!

Be careful with that style of chip case. They are known to be a bit on the flimsy side.

Welcome to the forum! There's a lot of information here about cases which many of us prefer to store chips. My personal favorite are the Nanuk cases you can get on Amazon or the Harbor Freight Apache cases

Congrats on your choice! I think you made a great choice to move beyond dice chips. Enjoy your new set and welcome to PCF!

+1 to Tommy and Toothpic's comments. Not to mention the next best thing to chipping is chipping accessories...

Welcome to the forums.

I remember gawking over these and the Showdowns (which I ultimately chose). Such a nice upgrade from the dice chips. If (when) you upgrade your chips, they could be a nice tourney set, or they're inexpensive enough to pass along to a friend to upgrade his home game.

Graz on your new set. You are doing right at getting sample first before buying
