Everyone started with 10K in chips so all of the chips were in play except the T25's. This is the 4000 Smooth Non aligned Chips along with 60 ea of the bounty and Rebuy Chips and 6 Dealer Buttons. Not shown are the 400 Aligned Smooth. I'll be posting those separately with a full layout soon...  
Enjoy... | Great chips, but my favorite thing in this photo are the several pairs of dark sunglasses sitting off to the right...as if you have extras so that as people buy in to your game, they can also borrow a pair of shades for the night.  |

This is SO funny-I got pulled aside for a personal inspection from the friendly folks at Las Vegas Airport coming home last night--- seems they needed to personally tear apart my laptop carryon--
Nobody said a thing-- took me inside and asked what exactly i was transporting... told them my laptop ( which they already inspected)...
had some explosives meatball come in-- then 5-6 other meatballs come in-- re-exrayed the carry-on twice--
sat me down...
seems my wife put my 100 sample Bellagios in the laptop case and for some reason xray couldnt read through the chips-- they xrayed as " black"
Told me that the chips must contain lead as they scanned as black...
they loved the chips btw

12 x 25,000 = 300,000
5 x 100,000 = 500,000 | You're right, that's what was in the tray when I took the picture. But after a little test over the weekend, I'm going to adjust the starting stack a little bit for the big game on Thursday. We found most of the betting took place with $10K & $25K chips once we got going.
5 x $1,000
7 x $5,000
11 x $10,000
14 x $25,000
5 x $100,000
42 chips total for $1,000,000
Like I said before, we don't really need the $1Ks but we're having a very low & slow blind schedule this time.
And it doesn't make sense to get both $5Ks and $10Ks, but I did anyway just 'cause I liked the looks. So this adjusted stack plays a little better and is easier to color up. |

I am pondering reordering the 100's since on a smaller order I think bleed can be eliminated- once I knwo for sure I'll keep everyone posted

When you hit big runs you tend to relax and get complacent figuring nobody will notice a few bad copies out of a million. The problem lies in who gets those bad copies and if they notice. Smaller runs are usually better quality but more expensive because of that. All in all I would say for the price we paid they are livable. Any more expensive and I would be complaining. Don't forget in life that 99% of the time you get what you pay for. If you want Paulson quality go pay $1.25/chip.

So don't sweat it Joe,we got a great deal for the money and you did a great job,thanks. |  | |
