I have been playing poker for a couple years, and i am now interested in getting my own chip set. (not the 50 chip kroger pack)

I looked on 5star for about 15 minutes and these chips seemed pretty cheap, good looking, and the material is decent.

Are these good chips or can i get a better set for the same price? http://www.5stardeal.com/deals/10Exp...e=10-COIN-300S

thanks,
ace

u can get the fauz clay which are great, which are also on 5star. i personally dont like coin inlays

[Acehawkx]

alright thanks for the suggestion. I searched fauz on 5star and got nothin. Can you link me?

also, how many chips is about right for a 10 person game? I know any number of chips can be used, but what would you recommend?

I have no experience with those chips that you linked to. I did look on Ebay, though, and saw a 500 peice set for around the same price if you decide that's what you want.

Good luck,

http://www.5stardeal.com/deals/10Exp...e=10-1600-300d I believ they are .o6 cents a chip, they are a great chip to start with and are considered better than the dice chips you will see everywhere. i personally don't like the dice on the outside but these are great chips for their price. they have a better feel than most of the cheaper chips and better sound

I ordered a sample set of the Jackpot Coin Inlay chips from 5Star as well as each of the NeXGen chips.

I was not impressed at all with the Jackpot chips. They are slippery, they "clank" like a bunch or washers, and there was a print error on my $500 chip. On the site it shows the Orange/white chip being $500, but the one I got has the same stamp as the Grey 50 cent chip.

THe nexgens were good and would be great choice had I had wanted an inlay on a fairly inexpensive set.

I originally had two sets from Costco (1000 total), and they are great, but about three of my buddies have the same set. I'll attach a pic of them. FOr the price ($60 each set of 500) they cant be beat.



Check out Pokerchipreviews.com or homepokertourney.com for their chip reviews. They are a good start at helping you find what you want.

Drop me a PM if you'd like my sample set.

Get the faux clays!! Check http://www.homepokertourney.com/ for info on how many and what colors. I'd get at least 500 for a ten person tourney.

Man! The advice comes fast and furious. Have to hurry or its old news. The costco chips are a good choice also.
