Those look great, Clone.

Now stack 'em up REAL high and take another picture!

On my table I cant really stack em too high. The padding is VERY thick under the playing surface (1/2" high density foam) and it gives way too much when you start getting to 30+ high stacks. That picture is all 20 high stacks.

I tried making a 40 high in the middle of the table and it was very unstable.

Honestly that thick foam under the playing surface is the only thing I dislike about the table. Im not sure if I could change that myself or not though.

One day when I get the bug ill throw down the velour table cloth I have onto my dining room table and do a large stack there =)

what was your denom breakdown and how much did they cost?

My denom breakdown is weird because we don't play tournies, so it's really based on our micro stakes cash games that we usually play.

I got 400 $100 chips, which go by the chop the 0 and make it cents rule

So they function as 10 cent chips.

200 .25 cent chips which are what they are.

150 $5 chips which function as 5 cent or 5$ chips depending on the night

50 $1 chips which are what they are

50 $25 chips just because I wanted every chip in the set except the true .50 cent chip because I think its ugly =)

50 $500 chips which serve as .50 cent chips because the real .50 cent chip in the set is ugly as hell =P

Total cost was $450 shipped.

HOWEVER, tonight some financial strain showed up as seems to happen whenever things are going well and I start gathering steam to buy things I want. This has jeopardized my chance to buy the Egyptian Paulsons....

So in short I may be forced to sell the 900 chips before I even get to play with them. Life is funny like that.
