I was hoping to get a PCA tourney set for my weekly T1500 game, but with the limitations on the $100 chips and no $500 chip coming up in the sale yet, I'm not sure if PCA will be doable at all.
Maybe if the PCA hotstamps go up, I will be able to put together a hotstamp set. We'll see, still have a week to go to shop.
still got some 50 peso chips from the Metro Poker Club in the Philippines if any of you chip nuts what them? btw, I assume you can buy display cases for individual chips you have collected from casinos around the world? If anyone wants some chips from Atlantis in Bahamas, PM me. There will be plenty of cash games when I am there in January.
my home game is usually 6handed 25nl or 50nl, looks like I'll be getting:
200 x $.25 fitzgeralds
200 x $1.00 secondary PCAs
100 x $5.00 secondary PCAs
no need for the $.50 PCAs amirite??
Well you don't need 200 .25. In a ten handed game, even if you give out 16 each you only need 160. I usually give out 8-12. If you get 160 then you can give out up to 24 each for 6 handed. If you think about it, to make any possible bet using quarters you only need 3 chips. In a $25 max game, does anybody in your game seriously open for $.75 or do they open to $1 or higher?
The more I come back to this thread, and the more I look at those choices, the twitchier I get about reaching for my wallet . . . I mean, they are Paulson chips, right? Unlike the Pharoah's.

I may talk myself into this yet . . .
Have you seen them in person? The PCAs are absolutely gorgeous chips. If I was buying a new set from scratch I would snap these right up. However, I am only looking to add on to my current set, which is why I think I'll be ordered Desert Palms from The Chiproom.
Otherwise it would be a very unhappy Christmas in my house this year.....
AJ has the Aztars, which look similar, as well as the Pharoah's . . . Wish they had a $0.25 chip instead of a $0.50 for that set. Wish they were closer in price to the Pharoah's, too, but you can't have everything.
I've got a breakdown for a 1000 pc set for a $0.25/$0.50 game up to a $1/$2, what kind of btreakdown would you recommend for a $0.50/$1.00 game up to a $1.00/$2.00 game?
NVM . . . even using the Fitz quarter chip, these are still coming out at double what the Pharoah's would run me . . . *sigh*
You don't need 1000 pc for a cash set. I have 600 which does me from $.10 to $100 and is plenty for 10 handed.
120 .25
200 $1
200 $5
60 $25
20 $100
Total bank $3730 - tons!
10 handed go with 12/12/7 for a .25/.25 $50 max cash game and rebuy with the remaining $1 and $5 until you run out then start using the $25. If you run out of $1s and $5s, you already have more than 50 chips per person on the table.
Johnnie, AJ, or moose, any of you going in for this? If so, want to split shipping? I am thinking of going with the PCA $1.00 secondaries, and then filling out my set at a later time.
The Pharoahs are nice, but they aren't Paulson chips . . .

Let me know . . .
Interested...IF you add 100 $100 Primary PCA's to your order to fill me out >:D
BTW...Pharoahs AREN'T Paulson's...granted...but you won't find a better quality chip at that price point EVEN with Black Friday deals. They're a really nice chip, you've seen them.
So, if I have to place my order separately, in order to circumvent the limits, how do we then make sure they combine everything to split shipping?
Is it really as simple as emailing them and saying, "throw it all in one big box?"

Then I will allow you and AJ to figure this out, as I may not even buy next Friday.
Who all wants what, so we can figure this out properly?
If I go for the PCA's, I can take AJ's 100 x $100.00 Primaries, along with what I mentioned earlier. I will advise no later than Tuesday of next week, and STICK with that decision.

I'm ordering around 300 chips, but probably not from the sale. Can I get someone to order for me? I will know by Wednesday.
PCA Primary
250 $5 total $100
350 $25 total $140
100 $100 total $65
With Moose picking up the other 100 $100's that would be another $65
Grand total to date
800pc Tourney set for $370US
Avg cost/chip $.45US not bad at all really...just need to find a suitable $500 chip now to finish this set off, but meanwhile, if necessary, I'll use the Pharaoh's for now.
Moose, you just want a paypal transfer for the $100's?

Looks like I'll have to get to another Ching Hill Event! Very nice!
There is a PCA t500 chip, it's bright orange. Like a traffic pylon. I like the colour, but I'm used to a purple chip as a 5-hundo.

I've seen them, very sharp, but like Moose said, likely sold out. Getting the actual t500 chip might be a challenge to finish the set off, but I'll find something close.

So in for .75 Fitzs!!!!!!! Siiiick price.

I would do:
160 .25
200 $1
120 $5
20 $25
That gives you a much bigger bank.

Looks more and more like I will be going with the Pharoah's, if I bother at all.

Not sure how we do this though, did not see a linky for ordering, but I imagine it'll show on the day of the sale?
Actually, ASMs are the best. You should see 800overs' set. Friggin sweeeeet!
We still have a week to decide. Hell, there might be something better by then anyways. I'm sure I'll change my mind a few times in the meantime
SFthis . . .

Sorry, I'm a noob . . .
ummmmmmmmmm Moose?? :-\
360 of the PCA $1.00 Secondaries, plus 160 PCA $0.50 Primaries.
One person has to order it to chop the shipping. I can put the 100 $100's in my order.

And now I have it! Pics when they arrive!
Very nice. Hotstamps are sexy! Cant' wait to see the pics.
I will order for you and try and put it in the notes so that everything comes together.
