Description

To connect poker players to the resources they need to improve their overall poker game, as well as their lifestyle. Visitors will also find the latest news, gossip, and articles of or relating to poker. If truth be told, everyone wants to enjoy a fantastic game of poker using high quality poker sets available on Amazon and other favorite retailers. Typically US made, the chips in these sets are manufactured while adhering to the same materials and regulations as those in Las Vegas casinos. Clay chips are the most desired of all poker chips as they don’t have metal inserts at the core and are characterized by a rougher texture and surface than the composite or casino chips. Made of a single-composition, high-density ceramic material, this kind of chip carries no metal insert but does come in different weights. Offering casino-like sound and feel, this kind of chip can be embossed on its surface with high-quality graphics. Lasting much longer than all-clay chips, a clay composite chip is extremely durable, will last for years and is not prone to dents and scratches. With the hard compression of the plastic material, the chip will no longer feel like plastic. This kind of chip features an exceptionally smooth surface that won’t dent or scratch easily, ensuring a long lasting unit. A metal insert adjusts the chip weight so the chips make a distinctive clunking noise when they hit one another. These can be the supermarket variety or the ones sold in toy aisles. There’s not much in the way of security with this type of chips, which are also easily damaged. Thus, if you have 3 to 4 players, the set should have 300 chips, while for 5 to 6 players, a set with 400 chips should be enough. The poker chips should be 70 percent at the middle and lower values in keeping with the most popular 4-color poker chips bank roll. Red chips are equivalent to 5 units while white ones are 1-unit chips. Poker sets that come in wooden box cases can be made of mahogany, walnut, oak and others. Be wary of aluminum cases with plastic protectors, which are not as tough. While some have no locks of any kind, others have combination locks or key locks. Under the lid is a waffle type of foam padding that presses against the chips when closed to keep them neatly in their place during transport. Most aluminum cases also have one or two areas for storing a deck of cards or two, while many feature an extra area for storing dice. Make sure the handle is strong and not flimsy, preferably metal and not vinyl. There are also poker sets in metal case holders, acrylic and plastic cases. I was sent at least one chip of each of the poker chips listed below. If you want a case, you can buy a really durable one by itself. You would only use these chips if you decided to play a meaningless game of poker with a non-poker crowd. These chips are cheap. You should be embarrassed to have these chips. Although they are not even close to being the kind of chips that inspire awe, they are at least a normal weight and size. At 8.5 ounces, they are much heavier than the 2-ounce supermarket chips. Another good thing about them is that they are hot-stamp ready and customizable. They are generally known as "Dice chips" because almost all of the chips have a ring of card suits or dice around the edges as a design. These are the less-expensive chips for the home poker market, made from various forms of plastic. Most of these chips contain a metal slug embedded in the middle plastic of the chip in order to give the chip added weight. Some of them are made without the metal inserts, but there isn't too much of a difference. Non-serious poker players will be very impressed with them. And serious poker players, despite appreciating premium chips, will be fine playing with them. They offer a nice compromise between quality and price. Faux clays attained a cult following even among chip aficionados (who can be snobs) around the 2005-2008 era when they weren't that many options for cheap mid-range chips. Compared to ABS plastic chips, these don't feel as slippery. They sound better and stack better because of their softer, duller surface. They have a recessed center that can be customized. Looks-wise, these chips also more closely resemble clay chips with decent-looking molds, similar inlays, and multi-color edgespot designs. The downside is that they still have a plastic feel and look plastic up close. They still have a metal insert and don't sound exactly like clay chips. You really can't answer that question without deciding which way you want to go when facing that first fork in the road: Clay or Ceramic.I'm not reviewing any chips in particular, and I'm not pointing to any buying sites. A few places use Bud Jones chips (made by Paulson/GPI), including those incredible WSOP chips at the 2004 Finals. And some casinos use coin inlay chips. Many retailers and auction sellers try to make their chips sound better by calling them clay, or clay-filled, or clay composite. No, they are a special multi-plastic compound, injection-molded under heat and pressure. I’ve always dreamed of having a really nice chipset, not necessarily super high-end, but something classy and above the cheap plastic slugged chips I’ve been using. I have decided to give my cash game chips priority in upgrades.I needed at least 5 colors of chips, as I use 5 cent chips for blinds and antes, but we occasionally get $1k+ on the table so I needed a ready supply of $25 chips. I’m just a guy, maybe like you, who is sick of cheap chips, and wants a nice chipset at an affordable price. As I have found throughout this exercise, no review or opinion can equal having the actual chips in your hand. I let a table full of my regulars play around with all these chips. Compared to the “high end” versions I got, they were just light enough that if you have played with ceramics recently, or for an extended amount of time, you might notice. If you rarely or never have handled ceramics, you may not notice.I really liked the texture.
