any ideas for casino location? Teahupo'o, Tahiti is one option, as well as having no location at all. If there are any other ideas out there, let's hear 'em! Let's decide on 3-4 locations that everyone likes and then we'll post a poll, or if there's an obvious frontrunner, we could probably skip the poll...

I think it is because the ASM group buy has dominated this section with all the polls; the solution is clear. Someone has to put up a name poll for these Matsui chips so we can get some definite decisions in place.

Clay samples are on thier way to me, I will post pics when I get them!

Ace, I hope you like these new clays more than the older ones. Any idea how many colors you'll be getting?

The colors depends on the quantity that your guys are willing to commit on.

It has always baffled me why home gamers need that many colors.

Ive played in tourneys of about 500 people and they barely broke out hte fifth color at the very end.

Basically, I think it's more a matter of "want" than "need" that many colors.

For tourneys, 3 colors seems sufficient, with maybe a few of a 4th color to support rebuys and maybe colorups.

If you had non-denom chips, that's all you'd ever need. However, the case for more colors (denoms) is this:
1. If you play both cash games and tourneys, AND
2. If you want to always play the chips at face value (i.e. not using $25 for $0.25), AND
3. You want to play tourneys for T$ >> buyin$ (e.g. $20 buyin gets T5000)

Then you basically need two sets: 1 big denoms for tourneys, and 1 small denoms for cash. So you'd need twice as many colors and twice as many chips.

One other scenario I can think of requiring lots of denoms:
1. You want to play cash games with the chips at face value, AND
2. You play a wide range of cash games (e.g. anywhere from $0.01 to $100 blinds)

eg: $3-$6 casino game can be played with all $1 chips. 10 players -> 2000 chips.

$3-$6 home game will be played with $1 & $5 chips.

meaning because we don't want to have 5000 chips for rebuys, we need higher denoms...
