I want to buy myself a new poker set of 500 pokerchips because the one i currently have which is a 300 piece set from bullets playing cards is not enough. Now i am thinking between three sets and need recomendation which one to get. The first one is the Pokerset Keramik - SKYLINE Tournament 500 which i really like the design of. The other one which is currently my favourite because of the design is the Pokerset Keramik - WSOP Ace High 500 MIX IT, but i am not sure on the quality of these. The last one which i found only good reviews about is the Pokerset - Majestic 500 MIX IT. Which one should i get? All pokersets are from pokershop and are between 300 to 350 dollar.

In order to guide you in an usable breakdown, you shall give some information about your game :
- Tournament ? Cash Game ? Both ?
- Number of players
- If tournament, are rebuys allowed ?
- If cash game, which stakes ?
Answering these few questions should already allow to steer in the right direction.

Both tournament and cash game. So the numbers of players should be 6-8. Yeah rebuys maximum of 2 per person. Cash game we play with a buy in of 10 euro, and optional rebuy with 5 euro or 10 euro.

I have a set of Majestics. If the ones you have are the same sold by apachepokerchips.com (and by the looks of it they are) then the quality will be more than acceptable.. Definitely should not feel cheap!

8 players tournament, you can go with :
T25 x 100
T100 x 100
T500 x 60
T1000 x 100
T5000 x 40
It will make starting stacks of T10000 (12/12/7/5). On starting blinds 25-50 it's 200BB and on starting blinds 25-25, it's 400BB. If you want to go in between (300BB), make T7500 (12/12/6/3) on starting blinds 25-25.
You'll have also enough T1000 chips to color-up the T25 and T100.
You'll also have enough T5000 to color-up the T5000.
For the rebuys, you make them as 5 x 1000 + 1 x 5000.
For the cash set, 6-8 players NL10, you can go with 3 denominations (10c / 50c / 2 or 2.50). You can also add a 4th big one if needed.
Something like 120/240/120(/20) should be fine.
So in total, 400 chips for the tournament set and 500 for the cash set should be more enough.

Phyffe is correct on the Majetics. They're originally sold here: https://www.apachepokerchips.com/product/majestic-poker-chips/
These will feel the closest to casino chips from your list I think. You might want to price out the number of chips and order directly from Apache if that other site won't sell additional chips.
Okay yeah so it is best to have two different sets for tournament and cashgame right? For the denominations for the tournament sound right to me. For cashgame what would suggest if i want to add a 4th denomination?
Okay yeah. But what about the wsop ace high chips qualitity because i really like the look of them?

+1000 for Machines guides. I lurked on this forum for a month before purchasing my first set after seeing how deep a rabbit hole this goes. I can't stress enough how well he wrote them.
As far as the WSOP ace high chips, I have no idea what they're made of. I could only translate so much of the description. If they're ceramic, the sound will be more hollow. I don't know if you care about how chips look and feel, but for me those reasons were a huge selling point on my first starter set and why I joined this forum.
For my cash set I did .25 / $1 / $5 / $25 / $100.
EDIT: They are ceramic. If you like the style go for it. I ordered ceramic and clay samples of chip sets I liked, and I really loved the feel and sound of traditional clay over ceramic.

yeah checked it out too was great info. Yeah probably will do for the cash set somethink similiar with maybe a bit lower values. For now i just have got ceramics so maybe i should really get the majestic ones. Woulds your opinon between majestic and the skyline ones, probably majestic right?
i think they sell a mixed set which is great because i can choose the values for myown and i dont need more than 500 chips anyway
For now my feel is that most of you suggest to go with the majestic ones, because they are clay instead of ceramic right? Any other tipps for a set of 500 chips for around 300 bucks?
They are what we call China clay. Plastic and not compression molded like Paulson or CPC.
These: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...d-cards-mold-textured-no-mold-09-2024.122512/
oh okay thanks for the tips, my favourite would be cpc atlantic club but are a bit to expensive for me
But would you suggest china clay over ceramic chips?
No, I wouldn’t. Only you can tell which you’d prefer though. I think the ceramic hybrid chips that I linked to are the best in that price range.
I really liked the Apache Pharaoh china clays, I also ordered a few samples they made to include 43mm chips and ceramics. To me the 39mm china clays felt great so I stayed with those. I ordered about 660 for a cash game. I've also received clay sampled from CPC and I really like them. In the future I'm going to host tournaments and probably purchase the Teddy KGB for that set, so my tastes are a little more involved.
When my friends tried the samples, the majority preferred the china clays over the ceramic. Most of them have also worked in a casino throughout their lives and might be biased towards the weight and sound.
My honest advice is to order samples and see what you like.

If you really like CPC, buy them. If you buy something else, especially China Clay, chances are you'll in the end want to upgrade.
Directly go and buy what you want. It'll save you some money. Trust me. And CPC annonced they'll close. Custom orders can be filed up to April. For stock designs, I'm not sure what's the rule.
Between China Clay and ceramic, I'd personally take ceramic (or the hybrids) for their durability.
Which one should i get the https://pokershop.de/Pokerset-Ceramics-WSOP-Ace-High-500-MIX-IT or the https://pokershop.de/Pokerset-Majestic-500-MIX-IT. Need advice can not decide?
What are they besides the material, i am relativly new into the game of poker chips?

Majestic. You can always add on, even if it’s from the secondary market, and they have an ok resell value when you move on.
The others are a niche thing, after they sell out if this run you may never get any more like them. Resell would be spotty as some won’t touch these.
I've never tried Majestics before, so I can't really comment. However, the golden rule is to obtain samples; in my opinion, you should get at least 10 of each chip you're interested in so you can shuffle and stack them to compare their handling and feel.
Why would some of you not touch these because of the material or for what instance?
Ok yeah will do that just a short question has anybody experience between these two poker cases from pokershop.de or which one should i get? https://pokershop.de/Chipkoffer-Alu-Case-500-silber or https://pokershop.de/Chipkoffer-Alu-Case-Black-500-PRO
Sorry but what do you mean with (12/12/7/10) 12= T25? 12=T100? 7=T500 10 = T1000 because i think the idea of a starting stack of 10 000 is great but what that not be more?

12 x T25 chip, 12 x T100 chip, 7 x T500 chip and 5 x T1000 chip (in my breakdown, I made a mistake, you only need 5 x T5000 chip to make a 10.000 starting stack).
And with my proposed breakdown, a 10.000 rebuy would be 5 x 1000 + 1 x 5000 and then 2 x 5000 if there are more than 1 rebuy per player needed.
