And still had the chip set and decency to run 12/12/5/6... may the good Lord bless you my friend for not running an 8/8/6/6 game. I would 100 times over rather play in a game with lower grade chips with plenty of change over higher grade chips with a "yuck" breakdown!
I 100% recommend people having one huge slugged "cheap" set for those rare games that have any more players than you standard game. Please never go less than 10/10/7/2 for a T5 based T2000 tourney or 12/12/5/6 for a T25 based T10k tourney!
Homemade laminated cut cards would be much better than those cheap flimsy ones that come in some of the decks or that you can buy in colors on
eBay for like 5 for $2 shipped... those are awful! Awesome way to come up with something quick and on the spot!!
