What Kind of Chips Are Best?
Poker chips are different.
Duh, right?
Well, come on. I didn’t really know that there was any difference at first myself.
But there are all kinds of different chips: clay poker chips, metal poker chips, and plastic poker chips.
Clay chips are considered the best of the best. They are pretty hefty.
Metal chips also contain plastic. They weigh about the same as clay poker chips. They are considered to be incredibly durable.
It comes as no surprise that plastic poker chips are both insubstantial and significantly less expensive. They are ideal for more casual games, especially if you tend to lose a lot of chips.
In general, for three to four players, you need about two hundred trips. For five to six players, four hundred will do. For seven to eight players, make it six hundred chips. Finally, for eight to ten or more players, you will need about eight hundred chips.
