Any opinion on this set of 500 chips about the quality of these? https://bulletscards.de/products/pokerkoffer-mit-500-keramik-pokerchips-paulie-mit-werten

Did you mean to post that here?

I get the impulse to do fancy geometric designs. But it hurts my head to use something like this. Geometry just for geometry’s sake? When I was in grade school I’d make designs like this instead of listening to my history teacher, interconnecting cubes and random arcs.
These don’t induce a comfortable atmosphere. They remind me of a wallet full of mixed $20’s and $50’s. They all spend but you are all the time wondering if you used a 50 instead of a 20 and have to count your money every 15 minutes. It’s just not relaxing.

The cards are very textured and uncomfy for shuffeling imo.
I won‘t use these and can not really recommend.

The breakdown is absolutely unusable. What game needs a 1 and a 1000? (hint: no game). The chips might be fine, although I don't like the design much, but the sets are put together by someone who doesn't play poker.

Let us know whether you play tournaments, or cash, and what stakes if a cash game. Then we can help you put together a chip set that will work for you.

Yikes. For a similar price, design your own ceramic chips and get through Tina.

What game needs a 1 and a 1000? (hint: no game).

Well, I can think of two specific poker games that could need both 1 and 1000 denomination chips:

A full-ring 2/5 cash game playing primarily pot-limit circus games with loose-aggresive players could easily benefit from having $1000 chips available.

And a large T1-base set for 100 players would also benefit from using T1000 chips, with 50,000 total chips (plus re-buys) in play.

But yeah, in general, no typical poker chip set needs more than four or five different denominations.... and just three simultaneously in play is usually best.
