Hello All,
As the title says, new to the site. Been hosting poker games once a month for just shy of 2 years. Super low key with dice ships and a plastic table (with an old army blanket) that barely fits 8 people. Want to step up my game to more comfortably support 8 to 10 players. Initially tried tourney style but cash games are what fits our group better. Joined the site to try and scrounge out some trustworthy opinions and there seems to be no other site. So, kudos to PCF for dominating the scene. Currently looking to upgrade chips to a set of 500 to 600-perferrably with micro denominations based off .25/.50 blinds. Still want to remain lowkey and trying to keep that purchase between $150 and $200. Currently have my eye on some Outlaws or Desert Sands but not 100% sold visually on either of them. I am a little concerned with all of you because the "save money, wait, and purchase once" seems to be a PCF motto that no one can live by as you generally all follow up with "... look at my 3(+) sets of chips to include ceramics, customs and/or paulsons ..." But I still find myself coming back as you guys are passionate about the culture of poker. And before you all ask, yes I also plan on upgrading the table. Just haven't decided on a collapsible like a Barrington or DIY a plywood and proper felted table that I can throw on top of the current collapsible plastic table.
Either way, happy to be here.
