Hello all,

I've been searching Ebay and Google to try and find a quality poker set for my home games.

I really want to buy a set that will last, but at the same time i'm not looking to spend silly money!

Can anyone advise of a good site or store?

I really want 13.5g or 14g chips - minimum of 500 chips up to 1000

I think id like a non numbered set so i can set denominations to suit the game.
 
Thanks for your help!

Thanks, i'd rather get some advice from people who know what they are talking about rather than guess from an on-line store!

lol - have you seen the new fivers and tenners up here - haha

they look like fake Euro's or something!

Looking around i see there are decent looking sets for £40/£50 for 500 chips - hitting the old 28 this month so i'd be able to go to maybe around £100-£150

The only sets i've seen so far is a German ebay seller (but those chips are numbered) and also a Poker Million set of 500 which are 6 colours and not numbered (i already bought 5 sets of 25 chips and i like the quality/sound/feel of these ones (13g))

I suppose my ideal budget is around £80 - £100. (inc shipping)

I'd have a look around these places. Might be easier to just buy chips and case separate...

Thanks for the info so far - keep it coming lol

I hadn't thought of buying the chips and case seperately. Will look into it.

My home games usually consist of 4 up to 7/8 players - what do people think would be the correct amount of chips?

I change it every time - sometimes we have 10,000 each but the chip values are like 5,10,20,50,100,500,1000,2000

I don't really know the best structure - we usually play 3 or 4 S'n'Gs in a night.

Any ideas on this as well?
