Tiltinagain 973 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I have the WPT set...or very, very similar, they're actually a good set.Not casino quality but most people at home games don't know the difference anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

Dogpatch 2 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Check eBay also. You can get a 1000 chips for what you pay normally for 500 or less. Also you can find stuff besides the "dice" or suited" chips. Link to post Share on other sites

(If you have one in your area that is)They sell a 500 piece set for 34.99 - if you have one of their 20% off coupons you can get a fairly decent poker set for under $30.00.

M101A1-105 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'd go with the 11.5 gram set. The 13.5's are heavier than anything you'll find in a casino. I find it better to play at home with close to the same as you'll play with in the b & m's. IMHO ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
crimethink_ 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 i tried asking the guys on 2+2 this but couldnt get anyone to respondTry posting it in the right forum next time. Also, if you're going to post in the wrong forum, at least post in one with a lot of traffic (i.e. not one that has had only 4 posts since you made your post 4 hours ago.

showstopper24 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 i got a 500 set for 32 dollars on ebay about three years ago and they are still in good shape Link to post Share on other sites
EStormOk 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I have a similar set to the 11.5 gram ones. Bought on Ebay two years ago. Paid 25? + 50? shipping I know the price was less than $75 total. Always remember when comparing prices over the internet to look at shipping costs, they can kill you. Like one of the previous posters mentioned, many local stores carry similar sets and you won't have to pay freight. Link to post Share on other sites
jooka 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Ive seen both sets you're lloking at, at costo's before. little more than the online cost but no shipping. I bet you can do better just hitting local stores if you find the right spots if you have to pay shippong on the 2 you linked. Either way, I have the second set you linked for about 4 years now(2 of them actually) and only broke/lost 1 chip so far. They are good for getting by but they certainly arent casino quality if thats what you're looking for. Link to post Share on other sites
shrimp4789 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 if you check www.pokersourceonline.com.....you can get 500 piece chip sets free, no strings attached...well you need to play something like 500 raked hands on a given site, but that takes no time at all Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Ritz crackers and food coloring.Nothing says domination worse than catching a two outer, raking the chips and then start munching on a $100 chip cause you got so many.But don't play on felt, I use those square folding leg tables, much easier to clean. Draw some cool poker saying with a Sharpie, and you are good to go. Link to post Share on other sites

Check out this one on Amazon.http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Diamond-Poke...=sporting-goods You mean KFL doesnt have poker chips at home yet? WOW I am shocked.That seems like a good deal you pointed out though Kathy.OP I would definatly look around, $200+ seems like too much to spend on chips like that. That set on amazon is about the same as the ones you had plus you get the different button on top forrr wayyyy less. I think I may have to buy a set of those. Link to post Share on other sites

AcesUp46 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 If you have a Sportmart nearby, you can check that out too. I remembered a few months ago, I saw that the Sportmart in downtown Chicago were selling good quality 500pc chip sets for about $50. Link to post Share on other sites
