Re: Poker Chips

I posted a few posts back on trying to find real clay poker chips. I've gotten samples of some different kinds of poker chips recently. I received one Paulson, one Capone's and one Apache chip all from Dice702.com.

I had these chips for about a week and a half. These chips were very nice. Nice sound, nice looks. The crisp clean sound of clay chips hitting one another while being thrown in the pot (well, at least three being thrown in). The only down side to these chips are their price tag. Paulsons ($1.15 per chip), Capone's ($.65 per chip (not that bad)), and the Apache chip ($.95 per chip).

Now all of these are quoted off of Apache Poker Chips.com and if you buy a set you recieve a discount. I want these chips but they are mucho expensivo!




I then got a few samples from All-In Chips.com. I was on their site, and it says that these chips are a all clay 10.5g chip. When I got them I found that they were indeed all clay 10.5g's at about half the price of Paulson and Apache. After getting five samples I was a little disappointed in the way they sounded when you drop them on top of each other. They were a little dull sounding, and if you read the reviews on them they are very soft (which they are). I really loved the sound of the Paulson (clay), Capone's (clay) and even the Apache chip (ceramic) sound when shuffled together. I guess that I got use to the crisp clean clicks of them, and got my hope up that All-In chips would sound the same. I was told that you have to play with the All-in Chips to get them harder using the oils in your hands (no pun intended, Rich no jokes on this). So I guess I will have to try this for a while to see if this helps harden the clay to make a more crisp and clean sound when splashing the pot.

I will post at a later date on these All-In Chips to let you know how they pan out (whether you like it or not).

Thanks for stayin with me here captain.
