Hey all!
I was considering buying another ceramic set to replace my original set I bought, but the way that my original set has worn over time, I'm wondering if ceramics arent for me, or if it is just the specific brand I bought.
I own the Ceramic King of Spades chips from PokerChipLounge.com and am very disappointed in them after 3 months of use. Most of my gripes are actually just because they don't have denominations to be honest, but I am unsure if the wear on them is normal or not.
I run a weekly game with 6-10 people, sometimes a second game during the week with another group. In the span of 3 months of 1-2x weekly use, these chips are so slippery, it's actually annoying me. They will fall over with the slightest nudge and explode everywhere, moving barrels of these things has become sketchy at best. When I got them, they stacked like bricks, and really gripped each other well, I was very impressed with how snug they were. I'm sure with how much my group loves to shuffle chips (especially me), I'm sure that this aided in wearing them down faster. That actually could be a reason for me to not get ceramics....The shuffling may be the killer here...
Do other ceramics become as slippery as black ice after lots of use/shuffling? I would hate to make a huge order with BRPro or something, just to have the same results 3 months down the road. My plan was to order a cash set and tournament set of ceramics, especially after hearing how ceramics outlast their owners, but after owning these chips, im not so sure.
Do stock chips like the Dia De Los Muertos, Tiki Kings, etc get slippery after a while too? Is my case an outlier? I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject.
Cheers everyone, thank you for your time reading my post!
