Hi CC!,

What a cool thread and discussion:)

I have recently invested in a new poker table and poker chip set all encased in a lockable metal case - chips are of a good quality (you never know what you are getting from amazon sometimes until it arrives)!http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NCW1V...t=&hvlocphy=9050376&hvtargid=pla-439094416019
I invested approximately $250 into my home set up and i now have the guys round once a month for a cash game with blinds starting at 25 pence/50pence. Its fun and we also have a prize for who can make the best stack creation and height..we do this in the break with a £20 prize, i will try and take some photos next time i have the boys round and post this, its good fun and especially funny and messy when chips crash down ( i do this on a seperate table with a secondary chip set).
Our starting stack sizes are 1500 chips each (costing £25 per player) and we allow one rebuy at any time.
This links well to further discussion via the forum weekly challenge thread https:https://www.cardschat.com/forum/car...thread-june-381147/?highlight=monthl;y+forum.

Best wishes for all your home games!

very interesting the topic, it brings a lot of clarity on the subject when eh for your own poker house, or your home casino!
The tip that talks about the chips, and fundamentals for those who intend to play tournaments or cash game at home, because I had problems with different types of chips when we played in my condominium, we used 3 suitcases of different chips, and that later a job to pack, the right thing would have been to join us and buy a single and large suitcase with the amount of chips that we always use for our games. With weights ranging from 11 grams to 15 grams, the legal would be 15 because this will give us greater pleasure when playing, are more like the officers used in professional tournaments, and when ordered to do in a large volume they are not Such faces I believe.
We also use a program to show the blinds, this helps a lot as well as talks about the topic, let the joke seem serious.

Get a 13.5g chips for great poker games. Rifling the chips and the sound of the chips splashing into the pot can be fun!!

I have a poker table, quality chips and new deck, I always gather friends over the weekend to play. It was not like that before, we started with some light chips that were not nice and some players complained about the poor quality of the chips until the day I got a good cash and made an investment in better chips, everything to please friends. I think that in this life what we do, we should do our best to please not only ourselves, but to please all the participants involved and we should do so well that other people to observe want to participate as well. A popular saying is that we should not hold a bird in the gaiolan but rather take care of a beautiful tree so that it gives good fruit so that several birds come to enjoy their environment. Good luck, fellows.

Interesting for those who have not played live poker, know the chips for their value, color, quantity and quality; depending on the type of game and the time elapsed.

yesterday I made my first event at home with a group of friends, to have a little fun with a grill and some ****tails.
I bought some chips for a value of $ 19 and some special cards that I use when I play away from home.
It was a very fun afternoon and I plan to hold another meeting with me being the host on Thursday when I play my selection in the World Cup :)
excellent contribution now if I earn a few extra dollars :)

When I start playing I want deep stacks and long blind structure. But then I realize that it lasts too long and I want short stacks and faster blind structure. But then I think about deep stacks and long blind structure again. So I still don't know what is better.

Hello, very good post, my favorite game among friends is the tournament with 10,000 starting chips and blinds rise every 25 min. Also we play cash game play and then 0.50 / 1.00. Regarding the quality of the chips we use are of very good quality. regards

of the best events! an eve with a drink and a drink in the house!
first of all we must be careful that this tournament does not go beyond the limits
and in my opinion, depending on the money you are playing to share and the corresponding chips to the players. for one with 5-6 people 1000 chips is good believe! :)

very good management. the only thing that upsets me is that I've never played live poker and I probably won't play, I don't even know where poker kits can be sold. I would love to accept such a gift. :D:dancing2:

A very good article. In our country, the organization of such gambling is prohibited. Therefore, we play only on the air). Very rarely I manage to play with friends in real life. It's hard for me to add anything. In your countries, the culture of live poker is much higher

I have not organized a game at home for a long time, but I find this article very useful and the detailed form of advice in all aspects, the evaluation of chips and their ranges of colors. It motivates me to invite friends and apply this information.

Very well researched and thoughtful article. I am downloading the poker chip calculator as we speak. We have had trouble and wasted time int he past on figuring out the correct structure for a casual homegame.

Well, I do not think I'll ever need this guide, but ... because no one plays in my house and I do not go to any environment that plays any type of game. but let's go:
The quality of the chips will depend on what you want, games at home for fun there are sets that can be purchased at low cost that comes complete.
If you want chips for a regular home game it also has cheap sets.
Now, more advanced games require a heavier investment.
In short, you must know the installment knowing how to calculate everything that will be necessary to acquire the material.
