I am in the process of getting a set of custom PI clays (with labels similar to the "Mark's Poker Room" Bellagio inspired chip in the custom gallery) and ASM's Horsehead mold (via GB thread) with labels from Hogwild. My question is how should I split these up....I love both labels and will be ordering both with a max total of chips of 1600. I want chips for our cash game and possibly a NCV set (label options are interchangable on this)...do I get:

600 PI's/600 ASM's both with cash denoms...the question is does potentially mixing chips in a game make sense?

600 ASM NCV/1000 PI's cash set

1000 ASM cash/600 PI's NCV

All ASM with a cash/NCV mix and have Hogwild also create the labels I was gonna use for the PI clays (he does awesome work)

Price per chip is about the same so that is not the issue...any thoughts are appreciated.

You don't mention how many players and don't say whether the cash game will run at the same time as the tourney.

If you have less than 10 players and the game will be cash or tourney not both running at the same time. I would pool the money and get some Custom ASM's that can be used for both games.

Say your cash game uses 25c and $1 & $5.... I would get a set with 25, 100, 500 & 1000 denoms but no currency symbols. You can run a T5000 tourney too

If you play micros stakes cash 5c/10c etc.. Get a set with 5, 25, 100, 500 denoms and run a T1000 or T1500.

This way you get some of the best chips fully customised with real inlays not labels.

Just a thought

Sorry mira should've mentioned I already have two tourney sets so this chip buy is excusively for a cash game. Good idea on the fully custom set however ASM will not do trademarked images and my chips have them so labels are the way I have to go.
