Anyone can recommend a good cheap poker chips set to buy.

Amazon.com: poker chips

Saw these on amazon and dont have stores nearby, so any1 with experience on any of them? I dunno what differences there are between 11.5 and 13 g and such

I just bought the 600 Chip set at Wal-Mart. Those are the ones we play with. About 4 of us all bought the same set. 11.5g, they are pretty good. I'm sure there are better, but they work for us.

Cost about $30. Aluminum case like the ones in your link. No dice or anything. One of my friend's has that 500 Chip count w/ the cards and the dice in your link. They are just about the same as mine as far as chip quality. We get them mixed up when resorting them back out. They work.

We play w/ 5 colors (white 5, green 10, blue 25, red 50, black 100).

Buy the ones that look like this ^^^

They're 11.5 grams - very heavy, and I'm pretty sure they're used in some casinos. They're fine for home games, which I'm assuming is what you'll use them for, and are very cheap. I have a set myself.

They'll have sets everywhere on ebay or amazon like these.

Yup. I have a 500 set and another 300 set like these. They are the way to go and finding replacement chips if you lose some or want to add is very easy as well.

Yup - those are the ones I have. Set of 600 at Wal-Mart was about $30.

Haha, it appears we all have the same exact case of chips, myself included. I guess it will come in handy when we all play each other some day.
