Remember Your Last Weekend In Vegas? Try A Clay Poker Chip Set

So you?ve just gotten back from your last gambling trip; maybe you went to Las Vegas, maybe you went somewhere out of the country. You were sitting down at the poker table, and for the first time you actually noticed the chips. You weren?t noticing how much money you had won or lost that night, but instead, you were admiring these great chips. Well, this is probably a sign that says that your chip set at home isn?t good enough, and maybe you want to invest in buying a good clay poker chip set.

All the casinos and major tournaments use a clay poker chip set as their currency. There are many reasons why. One reason is because a clay poker chip set is a durable set. The average clay poker chip at your casino lasts three or four years, and that?s being used twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. You can only imagine that with proper care, it will last a lifetime with casual (or even daily) play by yourself.

Let?s talk about some of the reasons, why it is an advantage for you, at home, to have a clay poker chip set. The biggest advantage is that it will bring you a lot of advantage. One of the major reasons why people invest in a clay poker set is because it will bring them a lot of respect from using it. Just take a look at your buddies? faces at the first time you whip your clay poker chip set out at your next game. They are going to be shocked. They might even ask you when you learned all of the rules of poker. When did this become such a professional game? And they are going to know that you are serious in your game.

Ok, even if you aren?t that serious about your game, it?s still pretty cool to have. Why? Because it looks great! It looks great because there is a huge variety in colors and designs. It won?t look like those one-color plastic chips that you can buy at your local drugstore. Another thing about a clay poker chip set is that it will never lose its color, because the color on the chip goes all the way through, unlike some of the other poker chip sets.

Another thing is that it also plays well. Listen to the sound that it makes when you stack up your chips after you win a big pot. Or listen to the sound as you throw the chips in casually to ante up. The sound is unmistakable, and will remind you of your last gambling trip or last tournament.

So you?ve decided that you want to buy a clay poker chip set. And you ask: what?s the first thing to do? The first thing to do is a little research. If you haven?t recently played with a clay poker chip set, that?s probably what you want to do first. You want to remember how it felt, how they played, and what kind you played with, and what type of chips you liked. If you have a friend who has a clay poker chip set, invite him to your next poker night so you can play with them. Now that you remember the feeling, go to the Internet (or your local dealer) to buy. How many chips do you need and how many colors do you need for the bankroll? If your bets are normally a quarter, 50 cents, a dollar and two dollars, you are going to need at least four colors, maybe even five or six. If you have more players, you are going to need more colors, because the bank is going to be bigger.

If you are going to buy a clay poker chip set, start off right and buy a big enough set to suit your needs now. Also consider buying a bigger set than you need if you want to expand the number of players or the stakes in the future. And remember, once you buy a clay poker chip set, guys will be lining up to join your group because you have the best toys.
