Wanted Majestic/China clay cash set (1 Viewer)

[Kidsthesedays]

I'm looking for a cash game set of majestics preferably, but open to other China clays.

100x 0.25
200x $1
100x $5
80x $25
20x $100

@Apache is accepting orders again on 8/12/19. Best just to buy from the source for a China Clay. Once in a while you'll see a set go on sale here but you won't get much of a break in terms of price. Maybe 10 cents less a chip? Otherwise it's a really good deal unless the chips are in horrid collection.

I have a 1000 chip cash set that I'm putting into play next weekend. I'm probably going to use it as my staple cash game set because even though I've bought 800 Paulsons chips of varying designs since joining a couple of weeks ago, I'm only going to bring them out for play in very special games (maybe 3, 4 times a year max?).

What kind of stakes do you plan on playing? Your chip breakdown is good if you're playing a 25/50 cent game. Even then, I would invest in more $1's and $5's if you plan on playing anywhere near that ballpark. The Majestic line only has $20 jetons which are out of stock as of now. Hoping Apache gets more in though! The green $25 chip is my third favorite in this set though; it's not a bad thing to have a few $25's laying around even if you have a game with a low buy in. Never know how high re-buys will end up going.

Hope I helped in my semi rambling,/incoherent response!

Yeah I plan on playing 25/50¢. Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty new. Can you give me a better breakdown?

I'm new here too, don't sweat it! More experienced players and posters here should also weigh in too. Are you financially or space wise restricted to 500 chips? Usually that's enough to cover re-buys and buy ins for 4 players. If you have games with 6 to 8 or up to 9 people, I suggest investing in 1000 chips to cover the potential for re-buys. The $20 jetons in the Majestic set are awesome but they'll run you a little more than $5 a pop. Better just to get $25 chips unless you're dead set on having a $20 denomination.

For a 25/50 game, I would suggest the following:

25 cents: 100
$1: 200
$5: 150
$25: 50

Forget the $100 chips and get a few $20 Jetons instead if you can afford it.

If you can afford 1000 chips, I'd go:

25 cents: 250
$1: 400
$5: 300
$25: 50

Although the 50 cent chip has little relevance in a 25/50 game, I absolutely love the design and color palate and couldn't help myself and got a rack of them A lot of folks here will poo poo the 50 cent chip, but when you play with a group that plays a lot of micro stakes (5/10 cent isn't uncommon for us), I think 50 cent chips have a valid purpose.

Personally, I went

5 cents: 200
25 cents: 250
50 cents: 100
$1: 250
$5: 125
$25: 50
$100: 25 (just because I liked the chip, they'll never see the felt)

But ultimately, its your game and you get what you want to get!

 

[Kidsthesedays]

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I had a typo, I'd get $25 not $20s and was thinking the hundreds would be for the rebuys and can make change with the chips on the table. Yeah 500 rn for financial purposes

Free bump for you!

Can anyone help this nice person?

I have 100x $.50, 100x $1, 100x $5, 7 $50 Jetons. The bank is $1000. We used this set for a .50/.50 7 handed game.

The most common cash set breakdown I've seen suggested around here is a 600 chip set at 100/200/200/100.

However, if you already have a regular game, my suggestion is to pay attention to your regular chip use for a few games and use that as a baseline for what to buy. If your group often uses more than 100 fracs, you can also limit them to 100 chips only for a couple of games and see how that goes. I did this for my group and was actually able to figure out a playable 420 chip set for my group at 100/140/140/40 which saved me some money.

I've actually been planning to soon get an upgrades cash set of 500 for a (hopefully) regular 25¢ /25¢ game, $10-$30 buy-ins, that can expand up to 2 full tables worth:

125 x 25¢
175 x $1
175 x $5
25 x $25

I originally thought of 100 quarters, but since I wanted to be sure plenty of people started with quarters of at least 8 if we had 2 full tables, I wanted to do 125 instead, especially if I mostly have a full single table with 12 quarters to start.

So this count has total at least $1706, that's nearly 57 max buy-ins for 25¢ /25¢, and if I ever did 25¢ /50¢, $20-$60 buy-ins, it would just be for one table and at least 28 buy ins total. Also plenty of $5s and a few $25s for lots of rebuys.

My group is so used to playing all the way up to 10¢ /20¢, $20 max buy-in games, so wanted to bring them a slight step up. Plus with a chip set I'm eyeing has no money symbol, we could make the 5s be 5¢ for our usual 5¢ /10¢ game once in a while.


TL;DR: Would it be fine to order 100 or 125 quarters for a 2-table max 25¢ /25¢, $30 max buy-in game?

Depends on the way your group plays. If the game is really limpy, or opens are often 50¢ or 75¢, you might find a lot of change-making going on, which might work fine, or might slow he game down.

We play 5¢/10¢, but most bets besides limping are in quarters, so a single rack of nickels is plenty.

That's exactly our group for both games of those blinds. Most preflop raises are between 50¢ to $1.50 with the people I played 25¢ /25¢ with.

So you meant 125 or 100 quarters there would be lots of change making? Change-making itself has never been an issue in terms of wasted time since it would take just a second when making calls, or players getting change from one another while others played.

Plus I doubt having 8-12 quarters starting would be an issue. We all usually prefer using a $1 and a 25¢ for abet of $1.25 instead of 5 quarters.

@AnteAndy, if your group is good about making change, then you’re probably good with a rack. What I’d do for a $25 buy-in, is give the first five players a barrel of quarters, and a barrel of ones. Later buy-ins and rebuys get ones and fives, and make change at the table.

So you're saying is get 100 and not 125 quarters, right? Even if 125 quarters totals $1706 for my set, and that way every one can get everyone 12 quarters on a full table, then a couple rebuys with quarters too, the the rest of the buy-ins in $1s and $5s? Wouldn't a barrel of them be a little too much since they would prefer betting a dollar with a $1 chip instead of four quarters?

I'd figure stacks of quarters and $1s be in 12 ct and the rest in fives, where other rebuys can have quarters and $1s to prevent all rebuys themselves to be always making change.

Plus wanting to use this set for 2-full tables, I'd want as many people as possible to have enough quarters for blinds, and they'll focus more on $1s and $5s postflop. I'd figure $1s would be the workhorses, follow by $5s during later streets?
