Re: why do people deride those 11.5 g clay \"dice\" chips?
I agree: They're dramatically better than those cheap interlocking chips. They're colorful and cheap, and both those are good adjectives.
On the other hand, they're pretty slippery; they're hard to stack well. When they're in your hand they feel like plastic and when they hit the table they sound like metal.
If you're spending the whole night holding chips (I leave my CARDS on the table. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) it's nice to hold nicer chips.
