How useful is a 500 poker chip set gonna be in college?

Need some input here. My parents got me this:

Vivo Vegas presents this Professional Poker set includes 500 top quality, real 39 mm casino size clay composite poker chips that weigh 11.5 grams each. The set is cased in a deluxe, heavy duty, aircraft aluminum case that is lined with plush, industrial strength foam. This set also includes 2 decks of Playing Cards, 5 red color 19mm size dice and one dealer chip.

It runs 90-100'ish. If there's one thing my parents are cool about, it's gifts, sometimes they have to openly ask me what I'd like for birthday/christmas, etc. So if I return these for something else, they understand fully.

Now, college is coming next fall, and I don't plan on using these chips too much this spring. Me keeping this poker chip set depends fully on how much use I'm getting out of them in college.

Sooo, college student brown trouts, given your experience with chip sets during college, are they useful enough to keep or should I sell the set?

poker chips are very useful in college, because a lot of college kids play poker. a lot of kids might have their own chips though. you might as well be the guy who runs all the games, like i was.

I would say pretty damn usefull.

daryn · #7 12-26-2004, 01:42 AM

yes, the answer to nolanfan's question is no, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't get those poker chips!

It really helps if you can always supply a game with the materials...

so imo yeah, it's better than socks and underwear.

Forgive me, I've been away for a day or two, I'm rusty.

Worth checking in tonight though, the new Internet Magazine is online! Nolanfan34 in print w00t w00t!

And to answer Clayton, I'd keep the chips for sure. Get some custom labels made for them, and like daryn said, there's probably a nice advantage to being the one in charge of the game at college...

In my first semester of experience, if you can find a game of college kids worth sitting at, they already have a chip set. The game at my frat house has a real nice felt table and chipset. I could bring my chips as an improvement to the plastic chips used in my dorm and play for quarters, but id rather play pp 15/30.
