The weekend is approaching, probably not that far away, and you have been nothing but busy these days. All of the interfaces that you need to do are already set up and you are ready to go out and start the shopping. It’s a must to put a little twist into things though, so that the weekend gets off to a good start. Whether it’s a family reunion, birthday party or poker night, it’s always a chance to have the table or the chips or both, and everybody is able to feel like they are all being treated equally.
It is also important to have the right equipment in place for the home poker game. The chip sets are standard and only need to be bigger properly. The bigger chips allow for more players and the more people playing means more money; everybody wins, it’s a win-win situation.
Of course, if you had a really elaborate setup where the lighting, graphics, paint schemes and all other associated fun parts were just perfect, those who are with you at all times are also enjoying the treat. But if you want to have a standard, no frills, old fashioned poker home game, some simple pennies may have to be good enough.
First of all, the chips. Obviously the chip sets that you use for your home poker game have to be of standard quality, of good quality and of course high quality. Penny auctions can be really expensive and if you buy everything else yourself at a low quality, you may be paying through the nose for it.
Any standard set of 300 chips will do, although larger ones will be beneficial if you have friends who like to play larger games. The sets you choose are all the same, they are all fully licensed, and they all have the same numbers on them.
The cases are another issue. Poker chip cases are available in many sizes and some are more attractive than others. You do not have to have the neat labeled ones if you do not like them, you can simply use the plain ones from the wholesalers if you want to save you money on the label. The most important thing about the chip cases is that they are easy to disassemble, which makes them easy to transport, and easy to store. Anything likeency Conditions to save space in your home will keep these poker cases from getting abused. Simple plastic chips with durable covers will last for many years if not abused.
The Poker88 Table Cards are available in many different designs. Whether you want bridge, heart, spade, diamonds or your own personal design you can buy them. They come in a variety of colors and some companies even print out your own personalized cards on fate felt. If you have friends and family that love playing cards, consider setting up a card party and have a cheap buy in with the poker chips set that you would host.
There are also composite covered poker chips that are design to complement the style of your home. Get these for the poker tables and the tables themselves.
There are many different sizes available for these type of chips, including sets of 100, reduction sets for 100, and everything in between. Get the appropriate size for the poker chip case that you have and you will also find that the weight of the chip is much lower than those metal or plastic ones that are available.
The type of clay poker chips and composite chips are also ideal for home poker games. The weight of the chip is less than 11.5 grams, so they are easy to handle and give the same kind of soft, almost clay feel to the hands as when you are playing on the table. They are also durable and less prone to getting bent than either of the other two types of chips commonly used for home poker games. Though they are not ideal, if your poker chips are like those that come in aluminum cases, you can get them almost anywhere and they will last just about everywhere.
If you plan on hosting poker night every week or less, you might want to consider getting the 200 Las Vegas Casino Poker Chip Set and add a couple of decks of playing cards to the mix. Sure, you can buy the cards at the local store, but if you are like me, you will probably end up having a nice battle with your friends over those old sawed hands. You never know, you may even have some new friends.
Then again, if you have a larger group of people coming over to play this weekend, you might want to get a little more elaborate with the Poker Chips Set. Reducing the number of chips to 200 will allow for more sharing of the profits. They can fit nicely in a game room that is equipped with a Shanahan table, a cup for every player, remove the letter from the chips skin to add a little personalization. You can even do all the cards yourself, or have someone do it.
