Re: Buying my first set of poker chips
[ QUOTE ]
If you want something nicer than dice chips without making the price jump to real clay or ceramics, I'd say go with Nexgens. They're still composite slugged chips, but they look good and have a pretty decent non-slick texture to them. I got a set of 1k in racks in a birdcage carrier for $150. If you play low stakes(less than 2-5 nl) they'll do just fine.

I don't have Nexgen, but I have a set-up like this including the birdcage case. I used to play National Poker Tour B&M freeroll, and when the bar where we played quit and we did home games, I bought chips like NPT's because that's what everyone was comfortable with. But be aware that this $150 chips and cage set weight something like 40+ pounds. I bought my chips based on a game rack which was 4wX25, 4<font color="red">r</font>X50, 7<font color="blue">b</font>X100, 2<font color="green">g</font>X500, 3<font color="black">b</font>X1000 for 5000, so I bought more blues than anything else.
