Nice Poker Chip Set

[white_s2k]

Looking to start a weekly poker game with some friends and I'm looking to pick up a good poker chip set. I've never looked at these before, so I'm asking for some recommendations. I would like a set that feels a bit sturdy and heavy, and trying to stay under $100. Something cigar themed would be nice.

Thanks

imo

Goalie that right their is full of win

IT's funny the forum that I lived on before coming here was a poker chip one. We used to have two regular games a week... but then everyone moved away and left me here pokerless

Anyway for not much money you can get a good set of faux clay chips, MUCH better than plastic IMHO.

I will give you the link. If this is not cool, Mods feel free to delete it

I am sure they may be nice chips but they most likely are not true clay chips... I don't want to sound like a jerk or anything just want to make sure you know what you are getting. Most likely a clay composite, not a bad thing just a different feel from a chip you would play with at a casino. They use either clay or ceramics.

BUT that said we played with a Costco plastic set for three years so even a clay composite would have been a step up from that.

What do you like, solid colors or spots?

I'm looking for "casino-like" chips, something like these:

Not bad. I understand budget is budget... less you spend on chips = more to spend on sticks!!

I got caught up in the whole chip thing, was about to pull the trigger on a custom ceramic set before my game fell apart. These are pics of the prototype... makes me sad just looking at the now



So to be honest I may be the wrong one to give advice... I like poker chips. The bottom line to me I guess is it doesn't matter, as long as you are playing. But there are some nicer feeling and sounding chips out there. These are a nice set, I have some samples of these. I was going to print labels and make my own custom set. The boys do that alot.

This is a good place for some research if you want to read a few reviews. I liked right to the injection molded stuff as I think that is what you are looking for.

Just to straight up kill you you can have a 300 pc custom set of ceramic chips for a little over $300. These are not Chipco (like in the casinos) but there are SWEET!!

you do not want to click this link... poker chips are a slippery slope as well

back about 4 years ago i was able to pickup a "late model" set of chips on ebay for hella cheap... (basically, i bought a brand new 2002 model overstock in 2004... that's what i mean by late model)

very nice 11 gram clay chips in very "casino like" colors...yellow ...wait, lemme just snap a pic..

i believe i payed like 95.00 shipped for 500 chips, they said the "retail" was like 300.00....

Paulson makes some of the best chips available. Not the cheapest chips available by any means, but very high quality. I have a Paulson tophat & cane 500 chip set in 11.5g weight.
