No problem. Getting the sample sets is definitely the way to go. I've ordered a good 20-25 sample sets myself over the years. It's funny how you see some poker chips in pictures and they look great. But as soon as you get to see them in person the reactions is ... disappointment! Or vice versa, some look way better in person than you thought they would. There are the 10g weight vs 14g weight differences as well.

What sample sets did you end up ordering if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah I’ve got zero experience so I’m super curious to check them out and give them all a feel. I ordered a couple sets from Broken Arrow as well as Apache and Poker Store. Did what you and everyone else recommended and ordered quite a few to make sure all my bases are covered! What size and weight do you generally prefer? Love to hear from someone like yourself with the experience you’ve got.

Welcome to the forum. There are lots of info on here to help you decide on all things poker, cards and chips related. Much like you, I host a bi weekly or monthly low stake cash game. I built my own table with help from the forum, purchased a custom cloth or three, and had a group buy for Chips to match the custom cloth. Good luck with your searches.

Thank you so much! That’s awesome man, yeah I look forward to game nights so much, always a great time. That table is RAD! Love the Mirage felt, so classy. Cheers mate.

What is your current setup that you want to upgrade? What your situation with the table, chips, cards etc?

What is your typical buyin? How often to people top off or rebuy back in?

Do what you feel will have the most impact right away, financials considered. Grow your setup incrementally. Don’t sweat it or force it. Playing is job one. Improving the game from a setup point of view happens as you’re able. Good luck.
