Controversial Chip & Poker Opinions (46 Viewers)

[Rieguy]

I just posted what I thought was a controversial chip opinion in another thread and figured it could be interesting/fun to see a whole thread full of different ones.

*What I ask is if you see an opinion that is just baffling, stupid, wrong, makes you irate, or you just simply disagree with it, instead of passionately contesting it, just give it the ol' Kifer Special . Wear it like a badge of honor, because too often a "controversial opinion" is actually anything but that. The more , the better.*

So keep it simple and have it!

Edit - Controversial poker opinions welcome as well.

FDL mold from CPC with a 1 1/16" inlay is the nuts.

IHCs fit better in sets with RHCs than they do THCs.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Hotstamps are the nuts

 

[BearMetal]

Oversized inlays on RHCs can be gorgeous

The best BCC chips look better, feel better, and shuffle better than the best Paulson chips.

That's more like it.

Have at it, your posts in the rating threads are the best part of them.

Relabled chips are bad

 

[CrazyEddie]

Casinos couldn't design a good-looking casino chip if their life depended on it.

Customs: have we seen enough palm tree / beach themes yet?....

LOL I've said it many times. A palm tree NEVER looks bad on an inlay. Had to resist the urge myself on my customs. It just looks so damn good for some reason.

Samples, instead of diving right in,is egregious to me. Biggest waste of time and money in history.

We should be allowed to thread crap when someone is posting way overpriced chips and there’s a bunch of “I can’t believe that these haven’t sold yet at this price” and “great price” posts in the thread.

I mean there are so many options, palm tree on the left, palm tree on the right, if you are really going all out: palm tree in the middle

The most recent NAGB chips are ugly.

Mimicking clay edge spots on a ceramic chip is wasting at least 80% of the potential of a ceramic chip.

 

[Squakmix]

3VA12, and 4VA12 edge spots look bad more often than they look good:

 

[Ben8257]

Most people that buy NAGB chips sit them on the shelves "to get a seat in the cool kids club" then sell 2 months later with another $200 mark up AND "dead mint, never played by me!" Change hands 10 plus times and still dead mint. Just interesting!

My favorite feeling chips are Hot Stamped RHCs with the larger lip and "Paulson" mold chips, that nobody likes

Oh and Stateline casino's crappy Oversixed inlay RHCs are definitely better than a zero! But not much

For anyone who frowny-faced my oversized inlay comment, I direct you to the Circa chips and I await your apologies via PM.

Whatt! Lol

But when it's done right... oh man are they awesome!

Maybe I'm wrong... but I think that chip is amazing!

1) Denominations are unnecessary for home sets unless your regs’ average IQ is below 70

2) Ceramics are all garbage

3) Ditto all house molds

4) Collecting singles is good therapy for OCD sufferers, and nothing else

What up with CPC SCrowns though...

Sure, I've seen some killer sets made on this mold...and the mold has obvious nostalgia to it...

But sampling it leaves ALOT to be desired. Can't be just me. They feel terrible. Cheap. Like plastic almost and the clack noise from them makes me discouraged from pulling the trigger. I don't see the appeal

And they only look good with 1” inlays. Now if CPC ever offered 1” shaped inlays, like the OG TRKs…
