Vineyards is another I don't mind. I actually had the pleasure of playing with them/dealing @inca911's set up at @slisk250's place last year. I can't deny they've got great colors and I don't mind the inlay design so much. They handled pretty well over all.
Aces, on the other hand, also have great colors, but I found them to be slippery and I'm not a fan of that inlay design at all. Glad others like them, but they're not for me.
In fact, I'm glad lots of people disagree with me and vice versa - if they didn't, we'd all want and make the same five or ten sets.

Couldn't agree more!
I actually have some of these and I say outloud, "these ugly circus chips" whenever they're in play. Last game one of the new guys to the table said, "i like em." then proceeded to go aggro all night long and kept pre-flop raising with them. never thought i'd actually enjoy stealing those chips, was a profitable night.

What really makes them an abomination is that there are some real gems in their racks, and then you get to the $5 and are like "WTF DID YOU DO???". If not for those redbirds that casino might be much more desireable than some of the racks already are.
Showdowns/Poker Knights. They were my first upgrade from dice chips, but I was immediately disappointed when I opened them up. Not a terrible design, and they look good in photos. But in person, the colors were so drab and sad, and hard to tell apart in stacks, particularly the red (rusty brown) 5 and green (dull spruce) 25. Fortunately, I was able to wheel and deal for a trade, and only lost $20 on my purchase.
Also, ceramics with skull graphics. Why are there so many skull options?!!!

+1 for DIECARD mold. What a shitty looking mold
The only chips I hate are cool ranch Doritos. It grinds my gears that the variety bags always have the most of those. I leave them out for my poker friends who apparently have no taste in snacks.

Shots fired. Cool ranch doritos are the best. Editing title and op as to not offend whomever is offended.heh. I told you this thread would get nasty
I wonder if there's any chance folks will slam chips here that their fellow chippers have posted for sale on the forum or may post for sale at some point in the future? Or maybe that's considered fair game?

That shouldn't change anyone's opinions. People like different things and that's allowed around the world usually.

Trigger warning. Here's my list of dislikes. Still new so I could be saved or changed with more time.
1) Solids (show me the spots! More spots more better)
2) Hot Stamps (just not a fan, love a good inlay)
3) S crown and L crown (honestly could change this to any mold that's not THC or RHC, love me some Paulson top hats) but these 2 are the main hyped molds currently. I assume for history purposes and the back story was interesting, the looks just don't do it for me.
4) Most important for last - those rare chips I can't get my damn hands on no matter how much I want them!
Warning. These are my personal opinions from a month of chipping. Put the pitch forks down.

Forgot to mention 95 percent of white chips. Too boring for me. Blue all day.
People's taste changes over time. I remember when I was pretty new making similar comments about hot stamp chips. Now I think a solid hot stamp tourney set is the nuts.

Like a fine wine maybe I'll evolve over time.

National Poker Series Chips. Boring, ugly ass inlay, bland color combos on the lower 3 denominations, and 3 chips in a row with the same spot pattern. Wtf?

Any set that has one same color in every single edgespot combo except for one denom
1- All the weighed coin chips, especially yin/yangs, and those “Las Vegas” ones.
2- Scrolls, Laurels and EPT ceramics. The texture is like nails on a blackboard.
3- BCC Casino de Isthmus
4- China clay Dunes/Pharaos. Slippery as fuck. Cant hold a half barrel without crashing.

I don't hate any poker chips. There is some love and pleasure to be found in each and every type of them, just like in women (for a heterosexual male, to be correct).
I even respect dice chips for what they are. Indestructible, value for money, and ideal for playing with farmer distant cousins in your grandpa's village.

Not sure if you're showing these because you think I may say "well, of course I like those," because I'm not going to. Or if you're saying "yeah! Down with giant inlays, like these," but that's how I'm going to take it.

- Pretty much any chip with split spots, including and especially the Paulson style 31 (although for some reason the Grand Casino Gulfports don't really tilt me).
Hands down, by far my favorite Paulson edgespot. However, the Empress $100 is still ugly.
I too disliked Hotstamps. Now they are my last remaining grail set. I just cannot justify the price.
I'm also a fan of Cool Ranch Doritos. Said it, done. (Nacho Cheese is still the best though).
Finally, in the hate column...
Non-standard colors. Cali is fine. Vegas is fine. Anything "creative because they are mine" is for ego-driven bastards that dont care about anyone but themselves. You know who else said "you can use whatever color you want for each denom"? The makers of dice chips.
Non-standard denoms. T2000? Stuff-it. Lots of great custom sets are crippled by this "creative" alternative. Why? Because you wanted to use more T500s so novice players and drunks will count large piles of them in stacks of 2? Brilliant, you really thought that one through

OP couldn’t take the heat with the original title, eh? 
Well with all the hate in the world at the moment we need to do our bit to keep the peace I suppose.
