nexgen break down?
hey... heard so much praise about these chips i figured many on here have them. http://www.5stardeal.com/deals/10Exp...ctCode=10-8000
i think all the praise has caused me to get a set... just wondering what break down you guys would suggest. both color and quantity of each. (i am looking at getting 500 and see little need for more then 4 colors... unless someone can give me a good reason to get more) figured many of you already have a set and have suggestions. thanks alot... and thanks for any input. |

Re: nexgen break down?
My breakdown is like this:
150 whites, $1 (or get blues if you must) 150 red, $5 100 green, $25 75 black, $100 25 purple, $500 ... but you're probably right about only 4 colours being necessary. Make it 100 black. Enjoy, --JTR. |

Hey JTR,
where did you buy your nexgens and how much was shipping and customs?I'm in the U.K. too and was looking to get a tournament set of these but the shipping is a bit of a put off. |

Re: nexgen break down?
Might help if you include the games/limits you like to play and/or tourney setups you prefer (e.g. HPT vs Foxwoods structure).
I like the 5/25/100/500 setup for both tourneys & cash games... maybe even 25/100/500/Non-denom. - Fins |

Re: nexgen break down?
Sorry, didn't mean to give a misleading impression. Mine are not nexgens they're (shhhh) dice chips. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Just trying to give they guy an idea about a chip breakdown that's worked out well for me. I know what you mean about the temptation to ship some nexgens over here. I keep seeing all this enthusiasm for those chips, plus the excellent label designs some people have shown, and I keep thinking, hey, I could afford some of those. But then I look at pokerchips.com or similar real clays and think, no, damnit, I will just win tons of money online and buy the real thing later on. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] To tell the truth, the dice chips work fine for my home game. (They even get a "wow" from visitors, which is embarrassing given the crap reputation such chips have around here.) None of us can do chip tricks anyway, and given the amount of alcohol consumed, I think we'd knock over stacks of even much less slippery chips. So, real clays in a year or two it is, sadly. |

Re: nexgen break down?
i mostly play nl tournaments... one table... sometimes do cash games... as for the structure i'm not sure how foxwoods or anywhere really does it... right now... we start with $30 in chips and blinds being 25/50 cents. my first set i got 200 of whites and felt like i didn't need that many b/c after we raised the blinds twice they are useless anyways

Breakdown Thread 1 Breakdown Thread 2 Breakdown Thread 3 Suits group buy discussed breakdowns - alot of pages but I think there was some good info there. Just asked about the structure 'cause some like to start at 5/10 (See HPT Chips Needed if you haven't already) or at 25/25... 25/50 like Foxwoods. Others run it like you suggest in a face value like a cash game. Also try "breakdown" here... - Fins |
