Since I finally filled my fracs rack, I’m sharing my current almost perfect mixed set for my 6-8 handed $.25/.50 NLHE game. But first, I have a couple of thoughts for newbies who drool over all the other sets in this thread, like I do.
1) Size doesn’t matter.
Don’t feel inferior about the size of your set, unless your goal is, as a collector, to build the biggest, baddest set. My goal is to build the best set for my game, and here it is. If I start playing $1/$2, yeah, I’ll want to add on another three racks of reds and probably some bigger chips too. But for MY game, (I’ve never had more than $1100 on the table) this $1700 bank is perfect.
2) if it works for your game, it isn’t stupid.
Listen, $10 chips are stupid. I AGREE! But I happen to love these $10 chips - they’re local and quirky and awesome. And for my small game, I arguably don’t need any chips bigger than $5s anyway. So I’m great with these, for this game. If I were hosting $1/2, yeah I’d put these aside and use $20’s or $25s. But I’m not.
Point is, If your set is good for your game, show it off and be proud. You can be jealous of the guys with 8 racks of reds, but if they don’t own a second table, they’re all show. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that either!)
