Pretty new here myself, I've asked similar questions. I'll let the experienced chippers answer the important parts, their very helpful here. They will also give you a ton of info on Apache Majestic (china clays), compared to
Tina Hybrids (a monthly group buy here on PCF run by Justin) boy there's lots info that I'm still wrapping my head around. I've settled on the May
Tina Hybrid group buy, just having someone here on PCF helping me with artwork/design. If you do a
Tina (lady from China) hybrid chip you can get personalized chips for cheaper price, meaning your own poker room name on the chip, logo, mascot whatever you want. Go to chip database above, and look at the custom chips made, some are incredible sets. In the search bar above, type in Apache china clay versus
tina hybrid you'll have dozens of threads on PCF pop up, click on them and read away, big debates and I love it. I've learned a ton by clicking and reading on this site in past month or so. Use the forums above, and search bar to narrow down what your looking for. Whatever it is 99% chance its already been discussed and or debated here. From cash games, tourneys, racks, storage, cards, denominations, etc.... unlimited, quality reading. Only thing I'll say about Majestic, their a real popular chip and look great, so don't the 43mm Royal Card room chips. I got samples (samples highly recommended here) of both which I liked both but this site talked me into
Tina Hybrids with my own personalized design, which obviously also good for security reasons in cash game. The price is right!!! Good Luck!!! PS: I'm still a newbie still learning so no one beat me up if my info isn't exactly correct.
