Title: Poker chips??? Post by: mikee_j on February 19, 2006, 02:23:40 PM what poker chips does everyone use for their home games??
i'm thinking of getting a new decent set of real casino style chips, however, the choice in the UK is very limited compared to the states! best site i've found is http://poker.marlowcasinochips.com/ (http://poker.marlowcasinochips.com/) bit on the pricy side thought. it would be about the same price though if they were to be imported from US, with the high shipping costs and tax. what chips does everyone use? has anyone imported from the US? are there any other UK suppliers of decent chips? thanks p.s. 1st post so hello to everyone Aspades Ahrt Title: Re: Poker chips???

Post by: Sark79 on February 19, 2006, 02:30:33 PM I don't really know much about chips as I only play online. However I did pick up a set of W.P.T chips the other day for £10. The WPT chips are split into different categorys, ranging from basic to the authentic expensice types. The type I bought were the top of the range version. I looked on a few internet sites to make sure and sure enough I got a real bargain.

excellent service and cheap postage Title: Re: Poker chips??? Post by: Nem on February 19, 2006, 03:25:15 PM The Hendon mob chip sets are very nice. They are £49.99 which is expensive, but you get what you pay for and their sets come with 2 packs of high quality plastic playing cards and the chips and case are of excellent quality.

Post by: mikee_j on February 19, 2006, 04:07:48 PM seems everyone has somekind of variation on the 11.5g composite chips! thats what i have at the moment, but i don't like them, especially after playing with other chips and getting samples of other types of chips. i'm a bit of a chip-holic! really appreciate a good poker chip!
keep your posts coming! Title: Re: Poker chips??? Post by: Newmanseye on February 19, 2006, 04:19:23 PM I got a 600 piece set when i was in vegas, all in wit was about £15 thats with 4 decks of cards, dice and case. A good deal if you are going to vegas. Other than that there are the chips at £20 from Costco, 11.5g and they are good value.

google should find you reviews and suppliers... Title: Re: Poker chips???
