Hi Everyone,
Brand new to the chip scene. Thank you already to Davin and members for the warm welcome!
I'm looking to start a cash set for a 1 table 0.25/0.50 game.
mipevi had posted in another thread about his starting stack for a $100 buy-in, and I like it:
16x 0.25
16x 1
16x 5
I'm thinking of the following breakdown:
200x 0.25
300x 1
300x 5
100x 20
100x 100
I like the round figure of a set of 1000, and it gives the potential to expand. But do you feel this is too much just starting out?
My budget is up to $3000 (I understand that good chips that last a lifetime are hard to come by), but would entertain offers north of that based on rarity etc.
I've been doing a lot of research already (starting to become a lot more time consuming than I thought). And have narrowed it down to some basic criteria. I, like the majority of members it seems, I'm attracted to the bright, unique color schemes of Cali sets. Although, I'm not naive to believe that any of these sets come easily or cheap. But being in Hawaii, it would definitely match the vibe, and certainly stand out for my friends.
Also, the two "boat sets" that caught my eye, Empress Star and Pacific Star (Aurora Stars are less bright), while I was familiar with Paulson being the gold standard, I am discovering and learning so much about the other manufacturers here such as Bud Jones, Blue Chip Company (the samurai set caught my eye because of the Asian motif) etc. If anyone can recommend a pros and cons thread I may have missed, or just recommendations in general based on my budget. I've handled Paulson THC's before, and love the way they shuffle, but that's not a main concern. Just top quality really. But any feedback, or anything I'm missing, advice, is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for the welcome.
