Default Re: why do people deride those 11.5 g clay \"dice\" chips?

Somtimes, I think some people here don't even play poker... they just collect chips. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

But, having played with the dice chips for a while, I can say that while they play just fine and are tons better than those plastic chips... I'm ready to move up.

And for perspective... when I bought the dice chips and introduced them to our regular game, everyone was blown away... they loved them.

At the time I bought mine, they were the best ones for the money I wanted to spend on chips... so that's what I went with. But now, you have lots of choices at that price level, and if you're just starting and have been using the plastic ones, you can't really go wrong with any of the chips at that price level.

You'll hear lots of reasons why people don't like them, including the "sound" when they hit the pot and the fact that they are too slippery to stack very high. I enjoyed mine, but I'm ready for something a little more like the real casino chips and that are more unique.
