Waiting List
Hi all,
This is my second post on the forum after joining about a day ago. Trying to get into the chip world in the smartest way possible, and get my addiction going. If I were to summarize my current situation, I host weekly home cash games at my place with player #s ranging from 5-10 people roughly, usually only getting about 6-8 people at any given game. The way we normally play is a $10 buy in with 10/20 cents blinds and we use those standard walmart dice chips. We give each person 10 white chips (10c) 8 red (50c) and 5 blue($1). Players can buy back in for another $10 if they bust and a normal session usually lasts us around 4 hours so there are going to pretty much be like 4-5 buy backs maximum. I figured in this situation, a set of 600 ish chips might be a comfortable amount but I'm open to feedback.
I want to get some nicer chips, and I'm kind of at a point where if I'm going to spend hundreds of dollars for a chip set, I might as well try to get custom chips, but at the same time I'm unsure of what general costs would be for a set of roughly 600 semi decent chips. I think in my situation 600 chips would give us what we need for at least a few years worth of games before we decide to change our buy ins.
I'd love to hear any feedback (positive or negative) on if I'm approaching this in the right way or if I should consider something else, and just advice in general on where to start this journey.
Thanks in advance, people on this forum seem extremely helpful and knowledgeable so I feel like I've landed in the right place.
