The CPC's have such a crisp clack to them where as the China clays are just kind of a dull thud. Now I want a custom quality set so bad I can taste it but alas, it's just not in the cards at this time.

EXACTLY. The dull thud of the CC were enough to put me off them entirely. Give me the click-clack of a premium clay or high end plastic any day.

Can I respectfully ask why so many chips for a cash game? Two tables??

Yes. We like to play late and I don't have a lot of deep pocketed fellows. Most folks are good for one $50 buy in or a few $20 buy ins at my $25NL game. Some folks more than that but not many. Sometimes if too many players busted early it would risk breaking the game. Two tables allows us to condense to one when some players clear out.

Though I may just do one table in the future. How many would you say for one table? 600? 800?
 
I understand. Yeah there are tons of threads on here laying out a perfect 600 chip single table breakdown... but 800 would most likely cover your occassional two table needs as long as you don't incorporate any extra silly denominations into the set. Tell us your blinds and someone will come along and lay it out perfectly for you if you would like.
 
Happiness in mundane terms is the coincidence between one's desires and reality.
That is gross and seldom happens.

True happiness can only be installed in a person's soul by the mother, only during the first 12 months of life. It's about being happy just to be breathing.
Beyond that age, there is some learning to be had: that, in this life, only randomly are our desires going to be fulfiled.
Mothers have to teach frustration acceptance after the 13th month of life.
 
I have an issue with cards too. I have like 30 sets of cards. Most of my poker buddy's prefer the worn out shit paper cards they host with. A few prefer some of my cheapest $3 a deck plastic cards from @Casino4you
So far, I prefer my 4 color faded spades, Copaq magum for my poor eyesight, or Bicycle Prestige, the first decent set I got.
So many sets I've never used and probably never will. Just bought 3 new sets this week. I don't like any of them enough to play with before my top 3 are worn out. But for some reason I can't help but buy more when I see them.

Not to get off original posters topic but if you like Bicycle Prestige I think you would like Desjgns.

My journey:

Dice chips - Metal slug chips - BR Pro ceramic chips - custom Tina cash set - custom Tina tourney set - Paulson over label set - soon to be custom CPC set.

The BR, Tina, Paulson, CPC sets have all been in the last year. :)
 
Well I’m new around here and I’ve ordered some sample chips, plan on ordering additional sample chips all to satisfy the itch of having different chips. But know at the end of the day, at some point, I’ll end up with CPC sets as those are the best. I have a sample set from them of the rounders chips for obvious reasons. Had those for years. Maybe one day I’ll look into customs but I haven’t even looked into starting that journey

Just saw you are from New York, me as well! Welcome.
 
Ah, the life of a poker chip collector and maker—where joy comes in the form of endless stacks of clay discs, each set more essential than the last. It starts innocently enough, a casual hobby, but soon spirals into a black hole of financial ruin and regret. One minute, you’re admiring a vintage set from the 1960s, the next thing, you’re convincing yourself that a custom-made, gold-foil inlay design is a “necessary investment.” And why? Because your universe might implode if you don’t own every possible color combination of a poker chip known to mankind. Sure, you don’t need it, but need is for people who can’t continue, need is for losers, you have to want it to succeed.



Let’s not forget the sheer thrill of constantly chasing the perfect set—a pursuit destined to never end. There you are, surrounded by boxes and trays, each new set promising to be “the one” that finally completes the collection. But the dark truth? There’s always another must-have release just around the corner, pulling you deeper into the abyss. Friends stop calling, bank accounts dwindle, and your living room looks more like a casino than a home. But, hey, at least you’ll be ready if the world suddenly decides to turn poker night into a global sport. What’s that? Another limited edition set? Well, looks like family time is overrated anyway, let me get you my paypal account info so I can purchase 2 of those limited sets, one for me and the second set for me, just in case I need it, or rather, in case I want it later on...
