Hello from Illinois (1 Viewer)

[VandeDad]

When I first browsed PCF, I realized these members are out of my league.

I was proud of my 1800+ Ultimate Chip set and my 600 chip Monte Carlo set, which each cost about $135. Not to mention another 2000+ dice chips for my roulette setup.

I was hoping to find a Bluff Canyon set, because I prefer those over the Monte Carlo’s but my wife and poker buddies all preferred the Monte Carlo’s.

Frankly, I don’t believe my budget will likely ever hit the $150/barrel range but it now sounds like I could get a customized set using Apache Majestics (not Majestic Star) and the Gear labels. Of course, the Indiana Grands on Apache may win me over.

Welcome and don’t be intimidated. Build and play what you like and is in budget. You’d be shocked at how quickly you’ll think about taking something on.

There’s a lot of space between what you play now and those grail like sets. Group buys, slept on molds, and all sorts of other things. On top of that, we’re all self-proclaimed experts on everything poker.

It’s a tight community and I know you’ll enjoy yourself.

I’m merkong and I approve this message.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome! For most of us (myself included) sets that large would be cost-prohibitive for anything "better" than CCs or ceramics. For a full affordable custom set, you will probably hear this advice a lot, but check out Justin's group buys in the Broken Arrow vendor channel. Cheers!

I do have a bluff canyon set (1200 and heavy) I can gift to you if you buy the shipping label and some Majestic samples if you want to try them out. Just let me know. The majestic/ royal chips from Apache are my go to chips we have played with for many years.

I feel way too new to understand what “gift to you” means. I can’t imagine you just giving a complete stranger $300 worth of chips. Even if it’s a rental, It’s a very generous offer. I purchased a sample set of the Majestics yesterday, so we will see how that works out.

Thank you!
