Which Abiattis have you handled? I’ve handled cheap abiatti roulette chips which were junk. But have you handled these? I’d never call these things slippery.

I find the finish on the edges of these slick. Always bobbling them when I shuffle them.
B&G probably feel less slippery because they are heavy at 14g. Same with Abbiati at 11.5g. What is hyperbole are people insisting that these high end plastic chips "are so slippery that it makes them unplayable".

I think the Dunes are by far the best China Clay Chip. The color, the weight, even the sound are all just perfect for a china clay. Maybe I'm biased because it is the first and only set I've purchased, but I did a blind test with all of the china Clays and found that I always ranked china Clays the best based off of feel, and that alone swayed my opinion towards them.
Rotating sets is a little bit frustrating? Annoying? I’m not sure what the right word is. But it’s really comfortable and intuitive when chip colors are always the same (especially with tournament play, but with cash too.). And rotating sets with different colors for different values is the opposite of comfortable and intuitive.
Not if you're playing mixed games!
Many games need/require multiple cappers

Switched sets mid-game last Thursday. I'm sure it's confusing if colors go outside traditional/cali ones though.
If the cards touch in this game, your hand is mucked. Few others like that.
Did you do that for a reason?
We weren’t going to show up to the shack without playing with the shacks

We wanted to play with the other set.
Welp, you guys do you.
Nice of you to cut off that clip before my head explodes all over the room.

Do you have mooks that constantly forget what cards they have in hold'em, let ALONE three hands worth of cards? My worry is the card bending that's been shown to happen after peeking with a card capper on. I've been nervous to teach my players to cap their cards because of this.Switched sets mid-game last Thursday. I'm sure it's confusing if colors go outside traditional/cali ones though.

I’m ready to give up. Sell my KEMS (which I’m afraid to put in play,) sell my unobtainable cartamundi Neders and Tobagos (which I’m afraid to put in play) and just buy a shitton of those new statesmen colors, if they’re really gonna be $6 per deck.
You tried the 2012 wsop I’m sure?

Too small. Old eyes.
Try the lot fancy cards on Amazon. $10 a setup.

I just searched Amazon every way I can think of, and can’t find them. Are they gone?
Lot Fancy. Think it's a typo.

Plus each capper's power waxes and wanes over time. You have to make sure you use the right one for each hand.
Everyone knows that...

What fresh hell is this? It's one of those Omaha Isn't Crazy Enough So Let's Throw More Hole Cards at the Problem games? Please tell me there's not another row of board cards to come?
Ordered. We’ll see.
Oh, this is the controversial opinion thread. Here goes:
Card preference barely matter in a self dealt game. As long as they gather, shuffle, pitch, and are legible, what else matters? You’re handling the deck once per orbit, and art considerations are dumb. Shuffle up and deal!!!

I take no chances. I sacrifice a chicken, a goat, AND a virgin before every game. Believe me, that last one is pretty hard to come by in my part of town.
Players who shuffle chips lack focus and self-control.
Plus they generally lack any athletic abilities whatsoever -- shuffling a few pieces of plastic is about all they're capable of.
