3 of a Kind
Adding my first set circa 2011 to PCF:
This is a 500 chip cash set, hot stamped on a solid ASM hourglass mold with a California color scheme. Since I used solid chips, I wanted to maximize variation through multiple stamps and complementary colors. Each denomination shows a different hound dog breed in a large stamp on the front. The name of the club and the denomination is stamped on the back. The same dog breed is repeated in a smaller text divider on the back (look closely!). The silver foil hot stamp reflects light nicely and brightens up the pots.
It's a smaller set and I plan to use it for a variety of cash games. The breakdown is optimized for a single table that could comfortably play blinds between 25¢/25¢ and $1/$2. I've left the light chocolate chip non-denominated to move between 25¢, 50¢ and even swing to a $100 chip if need be in a deep $1/$2 game. The set consists of:
130 - Light Chocolate
170 - Light Blue ($1)
160 - Canary Yellow ($5)
40 - Retro Lavender ($25)
I've already put them to use in my home game and everyone appreciated them. There was a lot of betting by breed, i.e. "I bet three Beagles" or "I raise two Elkhounds" which added a layer of humor to the game. I even managed to avoid the first time chip use curse and finished ahead one buy-in. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the way they look and play.
