Buying my first set of poker chips
I've heard a lot of different things, some people say 11.5 and 14 gram chips are basically the same and it doesnt matter and others say 11.5G chips suck. Thoughts?
I was looking at things like these on Ebay and was wondering if they're good chips and if anyone has experience with them.... |

Re: Buying my first set of poker chips
Ok, I'm going to be a snob. 11.5 suck. 14 suck. Chips are supposed to be in the 9-10 gram range. Good chips are 'ceramic' or 'clay'
That said, plastic metal slugged chips are much cheaper and do the same thing that higher end chips do - they represent money. If you like the chips great. Chiptalk.net the ultimate for chip snobs. |

No experience, but I doubt that a set of chips selling for $25 is "extremely rare!!!" LOL
There is a TON of information at chiptalk.net Basically it all boils down to how much you want to spend... Get something that YOU like and don't worry about what everyone else says. Of course, if you spend more, you can get nicer/better/more customized chips... that is the bottom line. |

Re: Buying my first set of poker chips
those chips look similar to ones i've used, the glossy surface makes it VERY hard to stack / shuffle. I recommend more clay / ceramic ones

Whatever you do, don't buy 11.5g chips.
What is your budget? How many players do you usually have? |
