I've hosted several successful tournaments over the past few months, thanks in large part to the great advice on this forum and the Chris M. YouTube videos. We are up to 3 tables which is great but definitely a lot of logistics and planning, not always super relaxing as host.
In the off weeks, I'd like to set up some smaller cash games, ultra low stakes, 5c/10c, $10-$20 buy in. The idea will be to keep it small, one table, 6 - 8 players max. Fun and relaxing is the goal.
I run the cheapish Monaco Casino chips from Discount Poker in my tournaments, mainly so I can easily add to my chip stocks as the need grows, without breaking the bank. Currently at 800 chips, but I can see that growing to 1000 in the near future. For the price, I really love these chips, great look and decent quality to my untrained eye. All the players are thoroughly impressed having only played dice chips in years gone by.
For my cash games, I would like something a little nicer, I figure I can get away with around 400 chips. I have samples of the Majestics and Pharaohs from Apache and I like them both but I just really love the look of the Majestics. Unfortunately, they are out of stock on the 5c and 25c chips so I may be forced to just go with the Pharaohs. I am trying to come up with a workaround, I see they have blank chips in stock, maybe I could use those for the lower denominations. Also considering substituting some of my tournament chips while I wait for the Majestics to be available.
Anyway, no real question here, appreciate all the wisdom on this board, any thoughts on my chip dilemma are most welcome!
