Hey folks!
Drew here saying hello from Minnesota.
I'm typically a lurker/soak in the info type of guy but I know I'm going to eventually want to participate in the classifieds so here I am!

I host small one table (sometimes two) games with close friends typically every other month or so. They're easy to impress and thus we have always used the same large set of plastic poker chips for years. However, I felt incomplete tossing chips into empty Tupperware while cleaning up last time.

What ensued was watching hours of @Hobbyphilic on YouTube and finding this wonderful community. After 10 or so sample sets I decided to take a baby step and upgrade to a budget friendly Majestic set. And yes, cages were ordered so there is no longer the Tupperware issue.

I'm already thinking of the next set before I've even put my new chips into play! I definitely know I want a nice set of solids and there are plenty of ideas buzzing in my brain for customs in the long term future. I knew I had no choice, but to also register at the forums.

Thanks for the great resource that is provided here. I feel like I've learned so much about chips and poker in general already, and I can't wait to learn even more.
 
Welcome! Be advised, I second @Highli99 's statement! I have spent in the last month what I have won over the last year on Paulsons! Who doesn't need a 2k chip set of GVC Secondaries and a small cash set of Cow Creek chips? I originally planned on just one small set...now this...this addiction...
 
Don’t get samples of CPCs or Paulsons unless you are prepared to spend all the monies! Welcome!

Ahhh...yes. One of the samples was the Atlantic Club, so it is too late for me on that front.
I've managed to avoid Paulsons so far. My wallet can't handle either!
 
Welcome! There are several MSP area PCFers on the forum who get together from time to time. PM me if you want on the list. You can also search “MinneMania” for a meetup hosted at my place last year. Next Mpls one will be CY2020....
 
How can you live with only one set ? Don’t you realize chips are power and you need more in order to gain more power in order to have more chips.
 
Great to see some locals here! @inca911 MinneMania looks insane! What an awesome job at hosting, I'm certainly interested for 2020.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
 
Hello from Chicago!! Absolutely love the northern-midwest. My buddy as a cabin near Eau Claire and most summers you can find me floating in a kayak along the Menomonee river!

Cheers!!
