Chip Purchase - Thoughts

Milo

Thinking of picking up some Nexgen Lucky Bees. 1000 chips for $300.00. Like the fact that they are non-denom chips, and an upgrade from my current dice chips (doesn't everybody start with these?). Question is, should I hang onto the 300 and wait til I can afford "the good stuff?"

I'd get some samples.

I have a couple, they are nice. But I'd rather have $300 in high end chips and use the dice chips for low denominations to complete your set than have 1000 Nexgens with labels. This is personal preference but here's what I'd do on a budget.

If you play .25/.50 cash game use the dice chips for .25 and use the high end chips for $1 and $5 chips and get a few secure custom chips for your $25 chips.

If you're not sure what you want you could go to Brantford tonight and get $300 in whites and pinks and use them for now until you decide what you want. Or go to Fallsview and pickup all the .50 chips off the Bacarat tables... Later when you decide what chips you really want you can always cash in the Brantford chips.

Later on you can complete your set with all high end chips if you want.

played at a club a couple times with those chips and never liked the feel..which is what you are seeking if you're upgrading from dice right?

def. check out some samples; or talk to Moose, he's a chip-God!

You going to play cash or tourneys?

Lucky Bee's are like one step up from Dice. Still plastic chips.

Milo

Would be doing a bit of both, which is why I like the agnostic chips. One step up, huh? Hmmmmmm . . .

Well your cheapest clays will be these:

plain 1000 chips are .45 per
spotted 1000 chips are .55 per

Circle square mold

Horsehead mold

Hourglass mold

I like denom chips, especially for cash games. I would get a nice cash set and keep the dice for tourneys.

These are my chips:
Clay, the $1 are well used and have to be cleaned.

Thanks Moose. Those Chipcos look interesting. I'm also looking at 1,000 RPT's for approx. $200.00 (Not done negotiating yet). Still, at $300.00, I might be swayed. Damn I hate having to think on the weekends.
