Re: Need help buying chips - how many?

Re: Need help buying chips - how many?

Re: How to handle re-buys
I'd make them rebuy immediately and blind them off if they wanted to take a smoke break.

2-4
3-5
etc.
Then again, if you're only playing 7-8 you could just go with 1000 in...

Re: I need a Set of poker chips
The main thing is to make your first set an inexpensive set of chips. (Faux clay, metal inserts, used, etc.)
You can get 500 chips for under $50 from a lot of places.
