New and from Europe, got a bit lost (2 Viewers)

[Obesibas]

Hi there,

I am new-ish. I registered my account months ago, but got overwhelmed with all the information about chips and never posted anything. Recently my buddies and I got into hosting regular poker tournaments, but the set I am using is not really to my liking. I'd really like some advice about what a decent starter set is for somebody hosting tournaments for up to 20 players (only got two tables). My ultimate goal is to buy a custom set, but right now anything above 40 cents per chip is unfortunately not feasible. I have been searching the internet for a nice budget starter set, but because I live in Europe the options appear to be very limited.

Any advice, tips, and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hello and welcome!

Keep looking at the Classifieds for members looking to sell stock ceramic or 'China Clay' type sets. Good luck!

Thank you.

This is probably a pretty dumb question, but what is the difference between ceramic, clay, and china clay?

Thank you! I have only hosted two tournaments as of yet and I am still figuring stuff out. Hopefully I'll be able to snag a set or two on the cheap to see what works and what doesn't, before I waste my money by buying a more expensive set with incorrect denominations.

You may want to check out the Resources section, and start browsing through the Glossary. This will allow you to recognize the strange code we often write in our posts.
