Texas hold'em

Myself and some friends have decided to start our own texas hold'em poker evening, there is some great stuff on the net which gives us a guide to making the event fun and competitive, the players range from experienced players, online players and newbies, like myself. The current uk TV coverage sponsored by partypoker hasramped up the interest (and my recent visits to vegas)

Current players invited are listed here for our first evening on 23rd of september 2005;

Tony Cossey - Confirmed
Richard Thomas - Confirmed
Dale Bennett
Ashley Bennett - Confirmed
Mo Bennett
Steve 'yon' Thomson
Gordon Cull
Peter Kempster
Chris 'gooky' Adams
Stuart McClemments
Andy Hall
Mark Reynolds
Dave Balding
Denis 'Baby' Sheriden
Mitchel Dawson

I am currently purchasing the 'kit' needed and have been surprised by the variation in poker chip sets, without research i could have easily spent £100 on a 500 chip set when better quality products can be found on ebay for a saving of over 60%.
