Are these ICON ceramics or plastic ?

They are like 13.5g slugged chips. They are terrible.

 

[FDLmold]

Those MGM Icons are trying real hard to look like Matsui or Abbiati.

 

[Legend5555]

I literally think my Claysmith spade and sword mold tournament set are better than these things.

Why are you guys using .25, .50 and 1 dollar chips? Seems redundant to have them all in play.

I completely agree. Not my house though. I've tried convincing them for 2 years now

It is not at all unusual for a host to do insufficient research before buying chips. This can result in denominations that are not actually needed (like the 50¢), but the physical chips are needed (the bank of 25¢s or $1s are not enough) for play.

I would simply start asking for my buy-in to contain zero 50¢ chips. Best way to convince a host that the denom is useless, is simply demonstrating that you can play all night without them. (not to mention the possibility of dirty stacks with the 50¢/$1 chips are eliminated by eliminating the frac).

Counterpoint, bet with them awkwardly every possible chance. Or you could try to win them all and then they wouldn't be in play anymore that night.

...that's where the conviction comes into play. You don't use the 50¢ chips, but you collect them, essentially removing them from play. If the host's set needs them to stretch the bank, you are not disrupting the game, you just feed them back as needed. If you wind up having all the 50s at the end of the night a couple times in a row, you will have proven your case to dispense of the useless chip.

Before I clicked the “love” I zoomed in on the chips and thought a “like” was suitable lol.

 

[MrCatPants]

Chips are .25, .50, $1, and $2. At least it's poker?

Is that like a requirement at every FL card room?

 

[Random Phish]

In for $300 out for $935, 1-2 NLHE 3.5 hour session. More than doubled up on second to last hand of night (closing — not a hit and run). All in on the flop with 8c-4c against AA on a Qh-8h-4s board. Bottom two held.
