Which Chips?

[Junkee]

Hello all, I am new to the forums and I am in the market for a poker table and chips.

I will either be buying a pre made table or getting one built the way I want but I will ask questions about that in a different thread.

I am looking for some mid range chips and looking to spend around $200 give or take $50.

I have been looking around on the internet the past few days and found 2 types of chips I quite like:

Monte Carlo Poker Club 500pc Poker Chip Set = $184 Delivered
Venerati Ceramic Poker Chips 500pc Poker Chips = $245 Delivered

Are these chips any good? Is there better for my price range?

Also will 500 chips be fine for 8-10 players with re buy ins?

Where is the cheapest place online to buy chips either here or internationally including shipping?

Any recommendations or ideas for other chips would be great.

Thank you.

go for the second set imo. it should be fine for 8-10 player tourneys, just as long as you choose the right amount of denominations of each.

Thanks moffo... Is there anywhere in AUS i can get these chips for cheaper?

And what denominations and quantities of each would you recommend?

I'm not sure about where you can get them in Australia, but for denominations etc. goto Home Poker Tourney - How to Run a No-limit Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament, everything you need to know is there.
