What Is A Good Weight For Poker Chips?
By Johnny Hand, Sat Dec 10th
I have been playing since my college days. I went to asmall school in western Massachusetts. The funny thing is backin those days we would use anything as chips. It was notuncommon for us to scrape our pennies together or even breakopen a bag of potatoes chips that we heisted from the dorm roomacross the hall to use as our chips. Well since then Ihave matured and in this article I will talk about 13.5g pokerchips. I highly recommend using 13.5g chips.13.5g chips arethe heaviest chips available on the market today and aretypically of the highest quality grade. These chips feellike casino quality chips because they usually are casinoquality and are a ton of fun to play with. In fact, these chipsare usually better then casino quality chips. Think aboutit a little. The companies that produce these chips have stiffcompetition and casinos would not pay that much money for thequality of the chips we get on the market! A typical casino usesthe 11.5 gram chips that are 39mm in diameter. The 13.5 gram chips are a little heavier and usually a strongerchip. Again I recommend these. For example, when you have yourbuddies over playing a tourney and they are dropping the chipson the floor and spilling beer on them. Figuring out what kindof chip to splurge on, especially if you play often isimportant too. Those of you who host games should makesure your chips can withstand the consistent handling. (seeabove about dropping on floor) 13.5g chips are perfect forregular players because the wear and tear that human hands placeon chips can be a force. chips are often handledaggressively, (everyone likes to shuffle them etc..) and thecheap ones just may fall victim to the trash can after a dozengames.
Your 13.5g chips will compliment your set nicely.Good supplies make a huge difference in the world. Don'tever even think about short changing your game if it issomething you really like. Spend a few extra bucks to getsomething nice that will last you a lifetime. You can find 13.5g chips pretty much anywhere now. I haveseen them at casinos, novelty stores, gaming stores but moreimportantly online gaming stores. Online gaming stores areturning up all over cyberspace and will often provide you withfar cheaper price options for your high quality chips. Ifyou don't feel like hopping in your car and heading to a localstore, then do yourself a favor and take a peek and see what youcan find on the web. However, be careful, do some homework, anddon't settle
on a store that is not highly suggested by otherpoker nuts! In conclusion, take your time when choosing your 13.5g pokerchips. Do some quick research and find a reliable source foryour chips and accessories. Make sure you find thecheapest price for the amount of chips your willing to purchase.So at your next tournament that you host you will looklike a king and not a peasant!
