Hey guys - im running a $1/2 NL game a few nights a week and i need my own set of chips. im looking for 1000 chips, id prefer 450 red, 500 white, and 50 green - i know im being picky. i am thinking about getting nexgen chips, but id like something a little higher quality without getting paulsons, and i know that even if i dont find chips here you guys can help me out and tell me what to get and what not to.

anyone that has chips they are looking to get rid of that fit these needs please let me know and we can talk further. thanks

Here is one of the chips styles we use for our cash games. We have been happy with them. Just need to find a 50 cent to use with them.

No .50 chips needed for 1/2 no limit.

I know you said you don't want Paulsons, I'm thinking it's because of the price, so what's your budget? For a 1/2 no limit game, I'm thinking security should be an issue. There can be quit a bit of money in play at a full table.

Good call, I was thinking the same thing about the security issue.

You should talk with Jim at The Chiproom and see what he has left of his St. Jo casino chips. They are Paulson TH&C chips. Best deal at 50 cents a chip. Here is a link to one of his offers:

Jim's currently selling these on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.ca/600-BRAND-NEW-ST-JO-FRONTIER-CASINO-PAULSON-CHIP-SET_W0QQitemZ230028820238QQihZ013QQcategoryZ70957QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), and they're going for < $300 for a set of 600. The breakdown isn't EXACTLY what you're looking for, but you get
100 x $0.50 (pink)
200 x $1 (white)
300 x $5 (red)
(each time... do this twice for 1200 chips)
and you can pick up 100 x $25 from him for $40 US (although they tend to be cracked from the hotstamping process). These are REAL casino-used Paulson chips (from a Missouri steam-boat) and are some of the cheapest real clay Paulson chips you can get (and are rare enough that security shouldn't be a problem).

If you want exactly a certain number and you don't need denominations printed on them, another option is Paulson Cherry casino chips. Wilson has a sale on these right now. They go for about 65 cents per chip. They're a little bit easier to come by, but if you pick slightly non-standard colours (they come in nearly a continuum of colour possibilities), then security could be ensured. See this thread:
http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/wilson...y-blowout.html
For example, instead of white you could get peach or grey or mocha...; instead of red, get blaze orange... or get red AND orange, and that way you could change what you use for $5 from night to night (so no one knows until they show up).

Don't be afraid of the "cracked" or "damaged" chips Jim sells. I have 750 of them and just placed an order for 150 more. They are in mint condition (other than the hairline cracks) and have perfectly sharp edges. Can't beat it.

I would look into these as an option, real Chipco Casino chips, the $1 are $50 per rack of 100 including the rack. $5 are $60 per 100 or $75 I think for New mint chips, also $25 chips are available but I don't know the price. Also if you get 1000+ he will give you 10% off. Not a bad deal
