Choosing A Poker Chip Set
April 17, 2008 – 5:36 amWhen you play poker at home it is very important to have the right poker chips set. An outstanding poker chips set serves 2 purposes. Firstly it makes playing more fun, but secondly it is a mark of class. Just like any other status symbol the kind of set that the host of the poker game uses is a sign of their prestige.
For instance if you produce a set of Wal-mart plastic chips you are telling your fellow players, that you are not really interested in poker and you are not planning on hosting any more games. A composite poker chips set will look a little better and brand you as someone who has somewhat of an interest in poker but also thinks of saving money on his poker chips set. Your ultimate statement would be a set of Paulson clay poker chips, embossed with a custom image. This tells all your gaming friends that you are passionate about poker and only the best poker chips will do for you and your elite friends. It is true that a poker chips set will speak reams about a person.
After you decide what kind of poker chip set you want, the next thing to decide is what kind of case you want your chips in. If you’re going to keep your chips at home, then you may want to go with a beautiful mahogany display case with sliding draws, lush green felt and a glass top so you can always look at your little beauties. If you’ll be carrying your chips around, then you’ll want a poker chip set with a carrying case.
Basically there are 2 choices of carrying cases for your poker chips set, aluminum and wood. Wood will look beautiful but aluminum is definitely more practical. Your object is to carry your poker chips safely, without them getting harmed. Wood cases can get damaged but aluminum will withstand quite a beating.
Once you have made your decision about your chips and case it is time to take a quick look at what your poker chip set includes. It should have a dealer button, 2 decks of cards, poker chips and if possible 5 dice. It is not necessary to have the dice but you really should have the rest of the things.
Armed with your new poker chip case, you’re ready to start your own home game and work on your live poker playing skills. Have fun and good luck!
