Default Mini poker chips?


When I am going to visit people, I often wish I could bring enough chips for an impromptu game. But chips are so damn big. It's especially a problem if I'm flying out somewhere, or being driven by someone else.

Are there any good mini-chips on the market, and if so, any suggestions?

I think the ideal size would be the size of a quarter, and it'd be nice if they had some decent weight to them.


By the way, one time I had a 4-handed cash game at a bar using colored paper clips.

In this case, the reason we weren't using actual chips was because I was scared it would look too much like "real" poker and we'd get kicked out.

I'd suggest that you use something called 'coins'. They have some that are exactly the size of quarters for approximately $0.25 a piece available at many establishments. There are some smaller denominations available called 'nickels' and 'dimes', which are available for $0.05 and $0.10 respectively. You can even get into 'pennies' at $0.01 each. HTH.

simple to follow if your playing for those stakes. Not so simple to play larger games.

I like the two quarters in the pic -- "Heads" = $5, "Tails" =$1.

I found cheap, nickle-size (7/8") plastic chips at

http://www.greathallgames.com/aacc/a...hipsDrops.html

I was hoping to find chips with a little more size and weight to them (and edgespots), but it looks like there aren't any.

I want to play in your game. Cashouts would be fun. Look at all the '$5' chips I have.
