New member, looking for recommendations. (1 Viewer)

Welcome!

What stakes? (I assume .50/1)
How many players?
What is the buy-in?
How many rebuys?
 
Paulsons / Classic Poker Chips / Matsuis...all of those are "high quality" in my eyes, but each has it's own fan base and the prices vary.

Have you gotten samples? ;)
 
If money isn’t a concern of yours... I’d get your hands on @Frank’s sunset beach cash set... My goodness that is top-tier chipping...
 
Welcome aboard, some fellow members have already asked the right questions, now we await the response!
Happy hunting! Brie
 
This would be enough for your current game:
.50 x 100
$1 x 200
$5 x 200
Total bank: $1250

Add more 5's, and/or some $20's or $25's to future-proof your game.

So you're looking at being able to spend as much $1.50 to $2 per chip. That gives you a lot of options, including some Paulson sets. Ceramics from @ABC Gifts and Awards (they're also BR Pro), are a great option. Get samples!

Just a couple thoughts: you could skip the 50¢ chip, and play 1/1. Or, you could get 25¢ chips instead of the 50¢ chips. That would allow you the option to play .50/1, .25/.50, or even .25/.25 if you want to have a lower stakes game.

Like the idea of playing $1/$1, thanks!
 
As someone that used to run a .50/1 game. I highly recommend switching to 1/1. It's just easier for everyone and less chip denomination you need to get.

$1 - 100
$5 - 300
$20/$25 - 100 (to help future proof)

Lots of good sets for under $1000. If you want to go more budget, the Royals set from Apache is quite nice. But there are many better used casino sets in your budget.

If you really want to have fracs (chips worth less than $1, usually quarters or nickels), I'd forego 0.50 cent chips and get quarters. If your group doesn't want to play 1/1 and wants to play lower blinds one night, you have quarters to play a 0.25/0.50.

If you're dead set on a 0.50 chip, a 500 chip set of Paulson CDI's (The James Bond chips) will run for about $1,000 if you're patient.

Great, thanks!
