Controversial Chip & Poker Opinions (17 Viewers)

I’m gonna take another look at what CPC can do for me. Because they can for sure do it cheaper.
Oh, I was supposed to post a controversial opinion:
Regarding the quality of clay they’re using to make chips today: CPC = PAULSON. This is not to say they’re the same, and people are certainly entitled to their personal preferences. But based on feel alone, one is not better than the other.
Not to mention weight...new Paulsons are what... 8.x gram now :(
How far have we come from full metal jackets with textured & shaped inlays.

I said it before and will say it again...I prefer leaded RHC's by a MILE compaired to current THC.
And good BCC's trump all except eighties & nineties THC / (heavy) Scrown clay
 
Poker is a game about making the right decisions. IMO, its purest form is when the stakes have no impact on your decisions. Some may argue the opposite is it's purest form so you can put max pressure on a player, but I don't believe this is a fair game.

"Friendly" home games shouldn't have 1000s of dollars on the table (even 100s of dollars doesn't sit very well with me). What's friendly about taking $100s from your "friends?" Thinking of losses as an "entertainment/night out expense" doesn't make sense to me. It's an excuse winning players can tell the fish, or an excuse degenerate gamblers can use to feed their addiction. I can play poker for no money and be entertained. What I can't do without 100s of dollars is go out to a cirque du Soleil show, buy a nice dinner, or buy a plane ticket to a PCF meetup.

Maybe I'm too cheap and too logical...
I might agree with opinionated but not logical (and not enough evidence to weigh in on cheap).

Poker is a game. “Purity” and “Fair” are arbitrary, and therefore illogical, terms.

“Friendly” in the context used would be “moral” use not “logical”.

Implying that others should be entertained by the same things as you is arrogance (even when they are rationalizing their losses).

This is a great book, highly recommended for everyone.

None of you have OCD, you're just anal retentive.

CPC "dayglo saturn" is the very worst of their available options.
I like Saturn, but I'll say, it can be the easiest color to go south in a set if you pair it wrong. Same with DG Orange.
