I'm sorry I'm a little late with this.
I'm a middle aged guy from NJ that usually plays really low stakes cash games with my old friends from high school. We usually play $10 buy in games with unlimited re-buys with 10/20 cent or 5/10 cent blinds (which limits the re-buys). The games hardly get too crazy and no one usually re-buys more than twice in a night.
I've played poker as a casual player since I was in high school but took a break starting in college after hitting the books, and before I knew it, I was busy with my first job, girlfriend (now my wife), grad school while working, and over 10 years later, just getting back into the swing of things!
I'm working on bridging the gap between a novice that knows the basics with bet sizing and understanding table position to a competent player that can understand how to bet for value, setting ranges on other players, not making my ranges so tight, etc.
I have a Scroll ceramic chip set that I use for tournaments when I have only a couple of friends over and now just purchased a Majestic CC chip set for my usual cash games (will post chip porn when they're done drying. I oiled half and the other half are still unoiled). My fingers started to get calluses after the first 500, so I took a break.
I can't (don't really want to!) afford a set of Paulson's all at once, but I'm hoping to be able to put together a decent cash set of about 500-600 chips to bring out on special occasions. If anyone has some low denomination or Paulson fracs (just learned that term!) for sale, I'd be all ears. I especially like the Horseshoe Cincinatti's or Clevelands. I'd be looking to buy about a rack or maybe two at a time. Happy chipping!
