Welcome to chiptalk!

I'll address the breakdowns. Are you playing tourney's or cash or both?

No offense, but if you're playing $1/$2 cash in a home game - you can spring more than $80 for chips.

For a 1st set I would recommend 400 chips. With a breakdown of

120 x T25 or 25c
120 x T100 or $1
100 x T500 or $5
60 x T1000 or $10

This is good for $1250 in cash available and up to 10 players in a T5000 tournament. You can have denominations or not.

My first set was Nexgens, but now have NJ ceramics, ASMs and Paulsons.

Oh, and before someone else mentions it - search for "Faux Clay"
