ASM makes excellent chips.
You will not go wrong.

Anybody have any experience with the 8k "composite" set?

And here I thought 8k was a lot of points... [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Those are the crappy "dice" chips that everyone has.

DO NOT waste your FPPs on these. 8,000 points has a cash value of about $120, and I would say this set is worth $40 (at most).

If you want these chips, buy this set or something similar.

Buy something else with your points and just pay cash for the chips if you want them.

The 42k set also has 100 more chips, a larger case (duh) and a couple decks of cards.

D-FENS: Thanks a bunch for the advice. I'll keep saving up for something useful. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

They pretty much let you have free reign at pokerchips.com with the 42K set - I'm in the process of ordering mine now. I think you can get up to 6 different chips, select your own quantities and artwork (front and back), etc. I got to choose between the oak and the walnut case.

My chips:

I thought about going with the more standard purple chip for the $500, but the gold fits better with the theme, and I really like the way that chip looks, so I'm sticking with that. And I'm still debating about changing the gold edgespot on the $100 to red, but then 3 of the chips would have the same edgespots, so I'm not sure I want that either. I'll probably juse leave them as is.

Can't wait to get them!

The 8k set is [censored]. Get the ASMs or cash out and buy Nexgens or something.

A comment on the 8K set too - I have a couple of them that I had ordered a long time ago, and there's certainly nothing wrong with them, but they're just the run-of-the-mill dice chips you see everywhere. If I remember right, they slap a Pokerstars (foil) logo on them too, which is fine.

I've found they come in handy when I've run larger tournaments - like 30+ people. It's not the end of the world if I lose a chip or two over the course of the night, and you can mix/match those chips with other sets no problem.

My new chips would be more for cash games or smaller events where I know/trust everyone.

Sure, there's nothing wrong with them. It's just that 8,000 FPPs is way too much to pay. If they were 2,000 FPPs it would be a good deal.
