Hello my people! (?)

New member here from Melbourne, Australia. Recently dusted off my poker chips and table after much, much too long and remembered how much I love the game.
Remembered how challenging it was to set up the right denominations and buy-ins for the right crowd etc and realised how far away my equipment is from my ideal set.

Naturally started browsing again and I found all of you! My people! I didn't know this was a shared affliction but of course it makes perfect sense.

More poker chips than I need, but never enough.

Happy to have found my place.

Currently rocking some mid level sets in the Venerati cash denominations and the Monte Carlo's in a mix of old and new colourways.

Cheers!

I remember when I first started and found this place after ordering samples from Jacks amongst all the places. If you like what you have there, theb I suggest you forget this place. Your wallet will thank you.

I also got Monte Carlo's from Jack's to pad out my OG set from pokershop.com.au back in the day. Some cash game denoms I didn't have and also to replace the hideous pink 5k colourways. I highly suspect a custom ceramic set is on the horizon from Jack's

Welcome, friend -- glad to have you with us!

There's also pokershop.com.au, which are far more responsive for customer service than Jack's.

Outside of those, and depending on what you want, we have to look to the US and paying shipping. Apache Poker Chips or BR Pro Poker for some stock designs of ceramics and plastics. Apache also sell used casino Paulson's at times. OR you're going to Classic Poker Chips for the cream of the crop clay chips, both stock designs and customs

Thanks @chkyrslf - I got most of my Monte Carlo set from pokershop.com.au as well as most of my cards including King Cards. Rob over @ pokershop.com.au is doing huge things in the Australian Poker Tour. You're right the customer service is excellent. Variety of chips available has decreased somewhat over time however. It's a shame we have to ship from US for the cream of the crop.

Yep! Been playing in a few of the local tournaments he's set up recently

I'll get to an APT Main Event yet!

 

[Newenne]

None in Melbourne unfortunately! But we do have Crown Casino...

Welcome, I've always wondered. In Australia do you play poker counter clockwise?

no that's ridiculous,.
we flip the cards the other way.

 

[FilthyMcNasty]

That makes sense if you don't think about it

You have come a long way! What’s next on the hit list mate? IOC? PNY? Surely you’d have to add some THC to your collection?

IOC on transit I believe! I'm happy with the relatively cheaper stuff so have. Customs one day!
