Where do i get really good poker chips

crang

Hi all. I am fairly new to the game of poker (texas hold- em) and a few of my regular friends that play with me are chipping in for the best set of chips we can get our hands on. Anyone have any idea where i can look. ( does the weight of the chip matter ect...... I live in Galway if its not an online shop. Thanks a million.

Ebay have alot of chips. Other than that specialdays.ie have both composite and ceramic chips and afaik they deliver to anywhere in Ireland. If you're looking for the best chips I'd suggest 13.5g clay ones.

I do know that there is a shop called Gamers Realm in the Corn Store on Middle street in Galway that sells poker sets and accessories at very good prices. It's close to Charlie Byrnes bookstore.

why would you think that the 11.5 gram are better than the 13.5

roryc

afaik thats what we use in the casinos. not too light, not too heavy

I have looked on ebay and there are some very nice sets. But i can't tell what the weight of them are by their description.

roryc

I used to play dice with my brothers (some years ago).
We used to pay 2 rolls each, 5 dice, highest hand wins the pot.
Houses and trips were the norm.

I hae to say that I dealt with full house poker chips and found them good.
There is a tread somewhere where he was giving a discount to boards people.
