    Lucky Dragon - Sunfly v BrPro

    Hi folks. I've been talking to the guys at BRPRO about some custom Lucky Dragons, but the chips they use aren't the same as Sunfly. I want to make sure any chips I get match with each other so does anyone have any side by side pictures they could post? Or comments about feel etc? (And thanks...

    Am I being scammed?

    Hi, I live in the UK and I'm trying to buy some poker chips from a shop in Spain. They've told me that they need my "national identity document number" as it's necessary for the invoice, "and the passage through customs". I've googled it and all I can see is that they might be asking for my NI...

    Anyone know where I can get a card box like this?

    Hi. The box in the pic is one I use for bridge sized playing cards, but I'd like something similar for standard sized cards. Does anyone know of any card manufacturers that make box designs like this (with a separate lid rather than a cardboard flap)?

    Articulosdepoker.com - anybody used this site?

    Hi. Title says it all. I might be getting some chips from these guys, so I'd be interested to hear from anyone with good or bad experiences. Whether they're reliable etc etc. Thanks folks.

    Tourney Bringing tourneys to a close when they overrun

    So had an odd one last night. Format was 2 very quick 2 hour freeze-outs (this was very casual), 5 players with 5000 chips. Game should have finished round the 2 hour mark, when there were just 20 big blinds on the table, but instead when it went heads up, there was a protracted "blind swapping"...

    Tourney Big Blind Antes - impact on tourney length

    So we all know tourneys shouldn't last past the point where there are 20 big blinds left on the table - but if you're playing with BB antes, does that 20 BB guideline change?

    Tourney Statsgenie - any good? Best alternatives?

    Hi folks. I'm trying to get our home games a little more organised and I'm looking at Statsgenie for sending out invites etc. It seems buggy to say the least. Players can't add photos, and when I set up a tourney, the start/end times jump forwards by 4 hours every time I edit the event...

    (UK) Importing chips and tax

    Wondering if anyone has a definitive guide/site that lists all the costs involved in importing chips (from US to UK). I've googled it and I'm getting lots of conflicting info, even from gov.uk lol. For example, some places say I'll have to pay VAT, some don't.

    UK - alternatives to speedcloth

    Hi. I'm interested in building a 5ft Round table but as far as I can tell, you just can't get speedcloth wide enough. So... Can anyone point to UK/EU suppliers of wider sizes, or better still can anyone recommend other playing surfaces that are as good/better than speedcloth that *would* fit...

    What are your taboos when creating chip sets?

    So for example I can see it's ok amongst chippers to mix different casino chips into one cohesive set, but would you ever mix Paulson clays or TRKs with Bud Jones ceramics for example? Are there any design lines (other than obvious counterfeiting of course) you just wouldn't cross? That's both...

    Ideas on how to improve this?

    My "other" poker table is one of these cheap and cheerful types. I don't like the "wooden" race track but I'm pretty certain the build quality would prevent me doing anything too drastic (and I don't have the skills/tools for that anyway). So I was thinking of just making a foam and speedcloth...

    Could you create a tourney set of high-end chips that only costs $1 a chip?

    Just curious - could you build a tourney set (or cash I guess), just by harvesting nothing but $1 cash chips and relabelling them? Are there enough variations in denomination standards to allow this? If you were to do this, what chips from what casinos would you use? Have you already done...

    Wanted UK - 20 ceramic Lucky Dragon 1000 chips

    If you have these spare please let me know. Would prefer UK as otherwise shipping is daft

    Any mobile software that allows polls?

    I'm part of a WhatsApp group for most poker Comms, but sometimes I want to ask the guys what kind of game they'd prefer a little in advance. It would be great if WhatsApp had a poll function for this, so it doesn't devolve into random chat, but I can't see one - so is anyone else in the same...

    Playing with two decks

    I'm trying to get my group of players to play with two decks of cards (shuffling behind) but they're somewhat against the idea. Concerns over things getting too confusing, cards from different decks getting mixed up, potential for cheating etc If I do this, I'll use a standard sized blue deck...

    Lucky Dragons love

    Hi all. Just bought a small set of Lucky Dragons. My only issue (which doesn't matter as I don't have any thanks to the small size of the set lol) has always been that the 5000 chip looks far too close to the 1000 chip (pale yellow/green v lemony yellow), and I cannot understand how that got...

    Inlays - explain like I'm five

    Ok so I know the difference between inlays and labels. I realise inlays are "embedded" in the chip as opposed to being stuck on, but my questions are: do some chips have inlays rather than labels because of security? And if so, why, when different casinos can't have the same designs? Is it only...

    Not Mine UK - nothing to do with me but someone's selling Paulson CDI (home chips) on Facebook...

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/746915883066662/ Thought I'd share in case someone wants to take a peek. I'm *not* related to the seller at all, it just came up when I was searching for chips. Bit of a weird breakdown (it won't support more than an 8 player tourney, with 1 spare 25...

    Wanted (UK) EPT replica ceramic Tourney set minimum 200 chips should do

    Hi folks. I'm after a UK or EU (otherwise shipping is prohibitive) set of EPT replica ceramic chips for 8 player tourneys. Breakdown - flexible but needs: 25 X 70 100 X 70 500 X 40 1000 X 20 AND I have some players with dodgy eyes so the colours need to be easily differentiated (I'm not...

    Custom ceramics

    Hi folks. I'm thinking of getting a set of customs like the screenshot I created using Blender - I want nice simple lines and uncluttered looks. What do you think? Also what pitfalls are there when getting ceramics? Do some colours come out drab? Etc etc! BTW I can't see myself needing a 25k...
