GB *Interest* for High Quality Injection Molded Chips - 2020 (2 Viewers)

[BNM]

My desk.



All my samples appear to be made of the same material. I think they handle better then some of the other brands I have.

Most Slippery to Least Slippery (IMO of course)

Matsui -> B&G -> Bud Jones (excluding R4s) -> Gemaco & Bud Jones (unweighted S2s) -> Abbiati -> Bud Jones R4s

Gotcha. Thanks!

Question for the group: I currently am ordering 900 chips, 500 cash and 400 tourney. Both are intended to be single table travel sets. I would prefer to have an even number of both, so I am considering cutting a rack of .25s, or adding an additional 100 tourney chips to provide additional flexibility.

I know everyone here likes more chips so your inclination will be to recommend I get more tourney chips. But, set that aside for a moment and help me determine what makes the most sense. Key factor is these will be a traveling set, so I will carry each set around in something like a Nanuk 910. 400 is lighter and easier to tote around. My tourney breakdown is good. My cash set probably has one rack too many .25s but my usual group is okay with more .25s in play.

So, ultimately, two questions:
1. cut the rack of quarters or add another 100 tourney chips?
2. If I add more tourney chips, what should the breakdown be?

Here is my current order:

Cash Set
25c - 203
$1 - 202
$5 - 82
$20 - 22
$100 - 1

Tourney Set
T25 - 124
T100 - 124
T500 - 52
T1K - 70
T5K - 40

Thanks!

I won’t be adding more/different denoms to cash. It’s either cut the rack of .25s or add more tourney. Point of the tourney was to support a STT - 12/12/5/6. I know I am good for that. If I added another 100 (should I?) what should that breakdown be?

Thanks!

Cut 1 rack of fracs.

For a 1000-chip dual-purpose set that supports up to 10 players at .25/.50 cash stakes and T25-base tournaments, I advise getting the following breakdowns (plus a few extras per denomination):

600 cash chips (4 denominations)
100 x 25c
200 x $1
200 x $5
100 x $20
---------------
600 chips, $3225 bank ($100 bills play if the game gets huge)

If wanting to restrict the cash set portion to just 500 chips, then reduce the above by -20 x $5 and -80 x $20 chips. Do what you want, but I definitely wouldn't recommend going any smaller than those numbers for the four denominations (500 chips, $1525 total bank). Cutting the set down to 400 chips and having just 80 x $5 chips is a bank of only $1025, which is too small for a 10-handed 25c/50c game imo.

400 tournament chips (5 denominations)
120 x T25
120 x T100
50 x T500
75 x T1000 (includes 15x for T25/T100 color-ups)
35 x T5000
-----------------
400 chips, allowing up to 10x T25k stacks (or T20k stacks with re-buys)

The quantities shown for the T25-T1000 denominations are hard-fixed, based on 12/12/5/6/x starting stacks and needed color-up chips. Certainly not required, but if adding another 100 chips to the set, go with +50 x T1000, +40 x T5000, and +10 x T25000 (allows up to 10x T50k starting stacks, 12/12/5/11/7). But for a travel set, I'd just keep it at 400 chips.
