As good as the SB $500 is, the RPC $500 crushes it!Mexican rose in play…. Easily the best chip made by Paulson …….this pic does not do the colors justice.

Nothing beats the SB $500…..As good as the SB $500 is, the RPC $500 crushes it!
I recommend gorilla gaming chairs. Love mine. They make a dealer specific chair.big o runs 8 max. Plo runs 9 max. There is absolutely no holdem played in this house. I am gonna get a new dealer chair. The dealers like to sit higher so I will likely get a drafting chair. Also, gonna get a new table with dealer station. Starting that process now. I am leaning towards no cup holders in the rail so I can switch between 8/9 players. Have not decided yet.
if you are using a blue as a $1 on the SB set you can do the same on the BTP set. why not use a SB $1 as your BTP $1?Clash of the titans!! My two big boy (43 mm) sets are basically complete (still need to relabel the ES .25s to SB 1s and find a rack white bear claws for the BTP 1s
Love a lot of your relabel work but not a huge fan of this. There’s something so specific about sets with all one spot and particularly the bear claw of the BTPs, really jarring starting with the ES $1That is a good choice, but now that I have deviated a bit from bear claw for the 5s I am thinking of just using the ES $1s. i have a rack of those already and think they look pretty good with the set.

Amazing set! I’ve been shuffling a sample of these nonstop recently in anticipation of the Zens group buy.As I nurse my wounds from the absolute ass beating I took last night, my spirits are lifted a bit by the mailman who dropped these gems on my doorstep. Great mail day!
First we have some RPC $5 which will promptly be relabeled onto BTP $5s. I was unable to find bear claw whites or reds but I think the cat paws are close enough and look really nice with the set. These will complete my BTP set. Really looking forward to playing with these. The $100s are one of my favorite chips.

Next up is my first plastic set. Matsui…. I think. These are really nice in person and shuffle really nicely. Love the 43 mm $500s. They are a bit slippery thou - maybe cause they are new. Can’t wait to get these in play to try them out. And a nice little present - 2 dealer buttons. Thanks @suited67!!

Thank you. Yes, I am considering trying that process. I wanted to try the set out first to see how slippery they actually are and if it affects play before I do the deed.Amazing set! I’ve been shuffling a sample of these nonstop recently in anticipation of the Zens group buy.
Been giving the process presented in this thread some thought. You seem to like chip projects, maybe something you’d consider?

Agreed. But hard to find a white bear claw and now with Paulson discontinuing that edge spot it’s gonna be that much harder. The only good news is that I really don’t use $1 chips.Love a lot of your relabel work but not a huge fan of this.

I've done it to a barrel of emerald bay chips, it helps. It is however slow and really boring. I can't see doing it to an entire set.Amazing set! I’ve been shuffling a sample of these nonstop recently in anticipation of the Zens group buy.

Emerald Bay and Zens have a different texture and a different edge:FWIW, I'm pretty sure the Radissons are a different type of chip, made from a different material, than the Emerald Bays and Zens. As I understand it, Matsui has a line of chips that are ABS and a line that are, um, something other than ABS. The Emerald Bays and Zens are ABS; they're square-edged, razor-sharp, and hard. The Radissons are different, and they have a texture to them that the ABS chips don't.

No pen!I thought you were going to write your user name and date on the napkin so we knew it was you playing with those chips
1.5 is too much. 1/2 to 3/4 inch is the sweet spot, IMO.So, I am the process of buying a new table. With Tony no longer taking orders (and a year wait even if he was) I am looking at other builders. One builder does 1.5” raised rails (See below for an example). Is that too high? Any thoughts from our table experts Following this thread? I already asked Tony so I know what he thinks. Let me know Thanks!

I LOVE the look of raised rail tables, but I played on one this Thursday for the first time, and my neck and shoulders are still sore today.So, I am the process of buying a new table.

Trust Tony.This table is definitely not uncomfortable. A friend of mine has the same table and comfort wise it’s fine. However, I just don’t know if it is a bit too hi. The builder says it needs to be 1.5” hi because of the way he constructs the lighting system. But, even thou the lights are very cool, I will never use them so they are not necessary. I am Probably way over thinking this…….
