Poker chip? Or the table? (1 Viewer)

[Frozi]

Hi,

I have a set of Cash Club poker chips. I also have the barrington 7 foot table. I find chips are always falling over with stacks of 20. Could it be the chips not being true clay, so the weight is off? Or is it the table?

Could be both?

What are the cash club chips? Pictures would help, but its usually the chips. Maybe the table isn't as stable as it should be, but chips spilling over is all about the lack of friction between them or some deformation, where some chips aren't flat and cause them all to tilt.

Like fallover when it's not touched? Someone bumped the table? When moving barrels across the table?

Put a stack of twenty of your chips on something you know is stable, like your kitchen countertop, and see if you get the same result as on your Barrington.

More so, just leaning elbows or arms near a stack.

It's the chips. Cheap ABS plastic sluggos.

really.... I thought they were decent. Clay composite. I know they arent true clay or ceramic, but thought they were decent quality.

If it’s happening with a table full of guys leaning their weight on the rail, that’s usually enough to keep any table fairly stable. So I’d guess chips. Cheaper chips like that aren’t made to very exacting standards - if they’re not perfectly flat, sticks will wobble.

So the table is the first thing I would look at. Does it wobble? Do the stacks fall when people bump it. My fold up Barrington weights almost 100 pounds and is very sturdy.

Next I would look at the chips. Do they stack flat? Or are there some spinners? Take a stack and rotate it slowly from the bottom chips. Do they spin evenly together? Or do some chips keep spinning when you stop?

Give us a side view of the chip stacks and the table.

Stack of 20? One barrel? Gotta be the chips...

The chips spin together. My table is a barrington table as well. Im thinking maybe the felt is just loose... or the underpad is too soft. I might try one of those custom toppers for it.

I can tell you that the cloth they use on the Barrington is not good. Cards don’t slide, and pushing stacks doesn’t go well. I ordered a toooer that should be here next week. It should improve the slide factor, as well as add more cushioning.

i'm contemplating either changing the underpad to 1/4 volara and put a speed cloth on it. Or just get a topper. Topper seems easier.

Those were my 1st chips for my table. For cheap plastic chips, I did like them and they did stack decently on my wooden racetrack.
I upgraded somewhat to Tina textured no mold chips.

Honestly, those yellow bearclaws look nice. Not a fan of the mold but the chip colors really pop

They are Claysmith with different labels. Brybelly. Decent chips but prone to warpage. Probably need a slight amount of flattening.
