I play mostly in Casino's not in home games. Since most of the casinos in my area use Paulson's that is the chip I prefer. Something about the sound, the smooth edges, the softness yet hardnes. The dirt and the grime and the human oil doesn't bother me a bit.
I remember the first set of uncirculated Paulsons I purchased, Crystal Park Casino. I remember thinking to myself "WTF". I couldn't believe that casino chips started out this way. Dry, brittle and with sharp edges! I honestly thought I had been scammed.
I tried introducing them into my home game and after one full year, despite being authentic Paulsons, it just never felt right to me. Nothing but circulated Paulsons in my home games from then on.
