Chips Question - metal ones?
Hi there!
I have a set of standard clay 11.5g chips, they are ok and do the job quite nicely. I was at Gutshot club a month or two ago, and they used similar chips in the tournament floor (upstairs). When I lost dismally in the tournament, I decided to go downstairs and play the cash game for fun. The chips they had down there felt so much nicer, sort of metal perhaps? They were a lot thinner, and a lot weightier. Anyone know what these chips are, and if they are metal and where I can get them from? Thanks! Tom

Have you ever PLAYED with real clays?

Re: Chips Question - metal ones?
Once, our home game decided to switch to metal chips because some guy read on a message board that they were nicer. He brought a pile of shurikens. The small 4-sided point ones were singles, bladed circular ones were fivers, sharpened pointed ones were twenty-fives, and the ones with the contact poison were hundos. It sort of sucked and we had three fatalities and half the survivors had to go to hospital. (The poor guy who won the big pot and was so eager to scoop it in won't be making that mistake again! .. since he's dead!)
We're back to clay chips now.

they were probably clay with a metal insert [/ QUOTE ] lol, Real Compression molded Clay chips do not have a metal insert. Here are a couple of good sources where you can spend some time reading about and learning about chips. www.chiptalk.net www.homepokertourney.com Nanook

You are likely to learn more than you ever wanted to know about poker chips and develop an insatiable urge to buy more and more quality poker chips than you will ever possibly need.

Re: Chips Question - metal ones?
Quality chips with a metal center? Bud Jones chips FTW:  But OP sounds like he's describing ceramic chips like Chipco. They're top quality and some people prefer them to real clay because they're all nigh-perfect rather than having the natural imperfections you find in clay chips. Personally I prefer the feel of Paulsons.
