Progression - when does it happen? (72 Viewers)

[Damo]

When do entry level chips cease to suffice?
When do you progress from Tinas etc?
When does it become acceptable to part with more money?
A year ago I started out with zero chips. I now have over 6000.
Could someone warn me about what’s headed my way? Should my wallet be concerned?

Depends on how much discretionary income you have.

As your speeding down the dark tunnel you'll come up for air when you need to, it can be different for everyone.

Sounds like you're progressing from value to quality, you'll get there doesn't worry.

It's only a problem when you start seriously considering edge spot progression. Until then it's just a charming hobby.

Good question. It can start early or later within the set. It can encompass the entire lineup. Or, you can forgo it completely. Basically, do whatever makes you happy.

The most important suggestion that I can give you. Take your time and enjoy the journey!

A year ago I didn’t ever see me involved in a discussion about edge spots.

If you're here, it's already too late

When your resolve, stubbornness, and sanity all weaken enough. Also when bank bags, coffee cups, and meetup clothing become second nature accessories.

Here is 27 pages of different chipsets that I have owned custom and non custom over the last 20 years.

Ya, I haven’t even bought my Tina chips yet as an upgrade to my metal slugs and I’m already debating if it’s a terrible idea to withdraw some investments for a small set of Rancho Agaves…

It’s comforting to know that there are many other victims out there.

I mentioned to my wife that you had 6000 chips. She replied saying that you had a good start! It’s an evolving hobby .

Ask yourself this……….
Does every dollar I spend require a positive monetary return on investment?

If it does, you should avoid chipping and poker from this moment on.
If it does not………….sit back and enjoy your journey.

It’s really that simple.
