Nah, I think that chip is RHC, if I recall correctly. My set is all THC:

These new $500s are overlabels on empress $500s:

Closest THC option to the real thing, I think…

Pretty much the perfect chip to use, well done!

Pretty easily the best US Paris set…..for now.

Just give me 5 to 10 years.

I think our group (I may have been last holdout) has finally mentally moved past fracs.

Live $1s through $1ks. Actual chino chips will always out-goat replacements. (Want to add about $8k in bank hence the years down the road).

I gotta go find these threads that cover why everyone loves fracs so much so I don’t off topic mail pr0n.

Don’t worry, I’ll tag you and @JeepologyOffroad so you can share your (wrong) opinion

You been hanging out with @RocAFella1 too much. I’ll run .50/1 with mandatory $2 straddle before I ever run 1/2. Dgaf if fracs are just sitting in stacks looking pretty. Fracs are sexy.

Also…..I mean we won’t use them. Doesn’t mean we doesn’t has them.

We gave up $.5/1 for $1/1...which as you know plays like $2/5 sometimes here

So that's what we ran into this past weekend.

We did .50 / $1. Which makes sense, we're just doing .50/1 or .50/50 dealer's choice $200 max buy in.

Fast forward a couple of hours and I'm bought in for $1400+. We're still doing .50/1 but there's not a single flop that people see for .50. I think we probably saw 50 hands straight that were a minimum of $3 preflop or much more.

All of this isn't the issue. I'm fine using a denom that simply isn't used so that they can get play.

The issue is the amount of people that throw out $1. I'm 40 gummies in, we've been playing for 10 hours. Noone ever knows whether it's a call or a raise, we just all assume raise and if we get confused say screw it up and just pump to $6 so there's no confusion. It just makes SO much sense and avoids so much confusion to do away with the fracs after awhile - made pre flop action move much quicker.

We gave up $.5/1 for $1/1...which as you know plays like $2/5 sometimes here

And I've never thought we played too big, but yeah. I don't get the point of blinds? Our .25/.25, .25/.50, .50/.50, .50/$1, $1/$1 all play EXACTLY the same. Maybe it's because I'm a dummy and don't understand how many big blinds are in my stack or various things like implied odds and such. I would like to buy in for the max, shove, repeat. Blind structure be damned!

 

[PlaidDragon]

Just came today.

These are for the weekly game I play in at a nearby VFW post. (No, I am not a veteran, but they were kind enough to invite me to join them.)

These will replace their super beat up dice chips they’ve been using for years. They wanted a simple design as well as to keep the denoms the same as they currently assign their dIce chip colors.

Poker cat... wants chips !

@timinater helped get the design right & @justincarothers got the actual order going from Tina. Thx guys!

Oh yeah, I’m not arguing the efficiency. It’s efficient AF. Plays great. Miles better than with fracs in a game like that. Still can’t dump my fracs as a chipper unless the game is actually 2/5 or higher.

Edit: exception - if the frac is trash then yeah 1/1. FTR my next custom set might be a 1/1 set with no frac.

I've never felt more honored in my poker career.

Amazing chips too, thanks!

Spoiler: Hoping to play with the full set in the future.

Ah always the best. When I came home from college a few times I’d have packages I didn’t expect. Or random packages in the mail that suprise you one day and you’re like huh don’t remeber ordering that lol. It’s always singles for me. Like I’ll be expecting a few nice singles and then a couple other ones o forgot I got one eBay or something show up to suprise.

I'm offended!!!

Until you open a package wrapped by @Tommy , you haven't open a secure package. :coffee:

I challenge this…. @Josh Kifer do you have proof?
