Super Chip Deal
Just a FYI. If you have ever wanted to get chips/upgrade your chips, this is it. Chiptalk.net is running a special group buy of clay chips. The CT members came up with the design and the manufacturer is offering them at a special price. $.30/chip. This is less than 50% of what you would pay for a clay chip elsewhere, especially considering you are getting a custom design label that is not available anywhere else.
For comparison purposes here are the exact same chips, from a couple resellers:
No labels:
ProGen 80 Hi-Grade Poker Chips
Casino Royale bond replica labels:
10 Gram Wallson Poker Chips
You will also note that since these chips are manufacturer direct, and not coming from a resller that there are additional colour options that have not been made available to the resellers yet - the yellow, pink and charcoal chips.
This is the design:
The order thread is here:
PI .30c PRIVATE CARDROOM GB ORDER THREAD - Poker Chip Forums-ChipTalk.net
I'm all chipped out. I'm not getting any of these but I do have a couple of samples at my house if anyone is interested in checking these out.
If you like the design, you will like the quality of these chips.

I have a set of non descript chips at the golf club, But this would be a lot classier with one of those world famous table toppers.
What quanities do you think I would need?
I thought:
250 1.00
100 5.00
75 10.00
50 25.00
25 100.00
That should be enough for a 100.00 buy-in with generally 6-8 players?
My pop up stops me from getting to your link, and trying to find stuff on the site I find impossible. Is there a secret handshake?
Thanks

from Store menu at top
select Marketplace forums
then Palmimports.com offers
the order thread will be right under all the sticky threads.
Figure it out by breakdown.
You will need quarters for the blinds unless you are playing 1/2 $100 max.
10 people, per person starting stacks for .50/1.00 $100 max:
12 $.25 = $3.00 Total 120
12 $1 = $12 Total 120
12 $5 = $60 Total 120
1 $25 = $25 Total 10
Total $100
So to round it out you could get:
120 $.25 Total $30
160 $1 Total $160 or (120)
120 $5 Total $600 (160)
70 $10 Total $700
20 $25 Total $500
10 $100 Total $1000
Total cash value: $2990 or $(3150)
That's a convienent breakdown but for actual play, $10s are handy chips because most people bring 20s instead of 50s, so you could drop the $25 from your starting stack and use 10s and 5s but then you have 13 5s, which some people may not like
Or you could use that starting stack but hand out only 10s and 25s for reloads, depending on what bills people have.
1/2 is the game, that's why I didn't get any of the .25
Right now we do
10 1.00 10.00
10 2.00 20.00
14 5.00 70.00
But I didn.t see that they had any 2.00 chips
Do you suggest a different breakdown?
Milton Slim
They say that you can order any denominations, Could I get 2.00 chips then?
I assume I need to register to get my order processed?
Your vast wealth of chip knowledge appreciated
Milton Slim
How about
150 1.00 150.00
150 2.00 300.00
100 5.00 500.00
50 10.00 500.00
50 25.00 1250.00
would that be enough?
Could still do:
10 1.00
10 2.00
14 5.00
and use 10.00 and 25.00 for re-buys. Too many 1.00's or not enough 5.00's?
Thanks
in advance

$1/2 nl? I think I need to take up golf again. I'll make another post about 1/2nl breakdowns, though Kristy also would be able to help.
Thanks moose
Either you or Kristy can suggest the breakdown, as you know, I'm easy!
No golf for you!! You have your own ponds to fish in

Too many different denominations.
Having lots of 1's and 5's speeds the game up since people don't have to make change.
I'd do like the casinos and have only 1, 5, and 25.
Say 300x$1, 700x$5, 100x$25
The most used chip in a 1/2 game is the $5.
You may want to get a few $100 chips for rebuys...
Are you playing 1/2 500max buyin?
Good point, compare to the casino (no 2.00's)
Want to try to only get about 500, because I need to store them in a locker with my "WORLD FAMOUS TABLE TOPPER"
The game is not too agressive, 100.00 buy in and about 4-5 re-buys during a normal night.
How about:
150 1.00 150.00
150 5.00 750.00
100 10.00 1000.00
100 25.00 2500.00
Go with me here. I did reduce the denominations, but the chips are sooo pretty, I selfishly wanted at least four colours
As always input appreciated
Milton Slim
5s are the workhorse chip in 1/2
Moose has the right idea.
If you want 4 denominations go 1, 5, 25, and 100.
For 500 chips
10* $100
40* $25
150* $1
300+ * $5
If you go with a 700 piece set just add 200 more $5 chips.
You can't have too many red chips for a 1/2 game.
1's , Mostly 5's, 10's, 25's and a few 100's
Should fit for the game.
