Nevada Jacks :: OnLine Store

by the way i found this cheaps selling at higher prices at other web pages what a bunch of scamers!. or is this site fake ...nah!! they even offer free shipping,hmm seems odd

What do you consider cheap?

Edit: You can look around Best Poker Stuff - HOME PAGE

What do you consider nice?

My best advice on a new chipset purchase is to get 8-10 samples of chips you think you might like and play with them before committing to a purchase. See how they feel and sound before buying. If you really want to become chip knowledgeable (maybe way too knowledgeable, even addicted) try chiptalk.net . Just don't blame me if you can't afford to play poker because all your $$ goes toward chips.

in no way ill get a chipset as pricey that i wouldn't be able to play poker
and why in the world will some one want to become adicted to chips?? thats weird... so any ways thanks for the links i just wanted to know if u knew a 'cool' chipset cause like all my friends have the world international dice sets, so ive decided to order a custom with my nickname in it so that'll make it unique

Custom chips are the way to go to have something unique. Check out chiptalk to see some amazing design ideas and to see what is possible. As to becoming addicted to chip collecting, it's just like collecting anything else really. I know several people who play with chips that they have paid more than face value for (in other words the chip might have cost them $1 each but in their game they're worth 25 cents).

Honestly when I first looked up cardschat (after seeing the name on a Bodog freeroll), I thought it was a place where people talked about cards, as in the different manufacturers and types of playing cards. That's why I came here. I may be a little weird (ok a lot) but I just love the feel of good chips and quality playing cards.

Here are the ones I have: super heavy, edges rounded enough for easy tricks/manipulation.

Here is a killer set :COOPSTUFF.COM presents Coop Poker

Hey, those are nice! What quantities did you order?

I went to all the links in this thread and I am 1000% confident that the set I got is far and away better than anything I saw here. I highly suggest this vendor, very reputable and ships very quickly. The chip set I got is better than about 95% of the casinos I've played in, no kidding at all.

13.5g Poker Chip Sets

I suggest either the high roller or casino royal sets, both are nice, heavy, and look and feel AMAZING. Plus you simply cannot beat this price, trust me I shopped around.

I also bought a table top from this vendor and am extremely pleased with it as well, far and away better than what you would find at a store.

I'm not going to argue here but heavier is NOT necessarily better. Actual casino chips weight between 9 and 10 grams. When you see chips advertised as 11.5g "official casino weight" know that the "official casino weight" part is an ad technique generally used to sell plastic chips with a metal slug insert and NOT a true statement. Buy whatever chips you like (and as I said get samples) but don't just buy a chip because it's heavy.

Yeah I got my set for like ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, $60 i think? On ebay.

They are composite plastic chips w/ metal slug, I whipped 1 against my wall and it exploded. (Purely non-poker related I assure you)

Its like a metal disc inside, with like a composite plastic around it.

I love my chips mind you, they look balla.

To be blunt, I say it goes $20 set (Plastic, no core, cheap) $60-$80 (Comp plastic w/ metal core) $140-$500++ (Clay, amazing decals, soft and nice sounding, top of the line)

If you have enough FPP's, the chips in the PokerStars store are pretty cool

THIS is the set I use. It's great since it doesn't have a $ sign, you can use them for low stakes cash (change) games where they equal $.05/$.10/$.25/$.50/$1.00 or higher cash games as dollar amounts, or in a tourney as dollars. It also has a "10" (dollar/cent) piece which you don't see often. I also used This Site, in particular These Chips for my color up chips.

And yes, chips can become addicting.

This is true. However, true clay composite casino grade chips run about a dollar each. Too expensive for most.

1. The 11.5g ones are fine, but everyone has them and they are not particularly nice.
2. The 10g "cheap" non-clay chips (not the paulsons or nevada jacks clay) are, in fact, "cheap" feeling.
3. "Real" 10g clay chips are expensive.
4. The 14g ones are much nicer than the various 11.5g designs out there, for a bit more, but not unreasonable money.

Depends on if you intend to use them for cash or tournament play. I, personally, have 2500ish total, so I have covered all bases. I also use them for blackjack parties, however.
