Controversial Chip & Poker Opinions (21 Viewers)

People could get more creative with custom ceramics. The simple clay imitation is overdone, but I still like them.

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.

I tend to agree

Shout-out to @Frode789 , who's doing something outside the norm here: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...ious-design-options.76323/page-2#post-1703305

Simple, elegant, makes good use of the possibilities afforded by ceramics, doesn't replicate typical casino clays (or typical casino ceramics, for that matter). Despite not following most of the common design idioms, it's still very definitely and recognizably a poker chip, rather than, say, a billboard plastered across a chip like so many casino ceramics are.

Metal sluggers are BASED

 

[BPTDirector]

People that overcharge for chips and state ‘market value’ as the reason make this hobby not so much fun anymore.

Go ahead and hate me.

 

[MrCatPants]

TRKs suck.

It is totally okay to profit off of chips that you acquire and subsequently sell.

Scrown mold looks horrible.

 

[RichMahogany]

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

Have to agree with most of this. I don’t think they feel terrible, however they just don’t feel great. There’s much better feeling CPC molds

Visually though I still think they’re one of the best.

And yeah, those Circa chips should be taken behind the shed and shot. They’re hideous

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

5) Photographs almost never look good on an inlay

The overall look and feel of CPC chips sucks
For the money china clays are way better
hell the cards mold ceramics are better

Thats a spicy take. Love it.

 

[Stufflymcstuff]

Thcs are at most marginally better than rhcs.

Sets that mix denoms from different casinos are awful.

NAGB chips… There’s gotta be some funny business taking place to keep prices where they are. Collusion, price fixing, creating fake sales at bloated prices to trick people into buying more at “market price”… I lost my tinfoil hat so I shouldn’t say too much.

The majestic star low denom chips are in such bad shape Id be ashamed to use them in a game. They belong in a dumpster.

Context matters.

 

[allforcharity]

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

But their life doesn't depend on it, so the shitshow goes on and on and on....

Q.E.D.

 

[upNdown]

People who sell murdered racks deserve to be treated as they’ve treated their chips.

 

[LeLe]

Nude Girl Playboy Theme Custom Chip should be on one of the collection checklist

 

[timinater]

Posted this in the past, but speed cloth…. Woof. Doesn’t look good and gets dirty as hell.

 

[FDLmold]

TRKs suck.

The light ones kinda do. No doubt.

 

[Eloe2000]

Whatt! Lol

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

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

I like these edgespots better with 1”+ inlays. They look totally different with 7/8” inlays.

I should be the Mod in the politics forum.

THE PEOPLE WANT IT!!!

 

[toothpic]

Chips were designed to be played with, not put on display.

I don’t like the small crown mold

I hear small crowns are meh.

Well I just realized @Jeevansluck feels the same so out of principle I need to change my opinion to I love small crown since I’m not allowed to agree with him on anything. Ha

I feel like the truth about Scrown is coming out in this thread ha
