Hello everyone,

My name is Willer Ribeiro, im from Brazil and, as you all, love poker. In my country we dont have casinos, but we have some houses were we can play (casinos are illegal but poker is seen as a sport, so you can practice with some legal regulation).
In the last few days i have studied the addictive world of poker chips. I have a set of ABS inexpensive chips (only kind available here). I am looking forward to get some samples of Bud Jones, Paulson and some CPC e China Clay. With help of this forum and you guys, especially in the classifieds, i am sure very soon ill get there. Next time in US for sure im getting a nice set. But have to choose the one, need to put may hands on the chips.
Below a picture of a final table on a tournament that i played. Seated as chip leader but bad decisions and a bit of bad luck meant a fourth place. Chips used in this tournament were ceramic ones, nice, pretty and very well-made, but definitively not may cup of tea (this kind we can buy with a home town manufacturer)
That is it guys. Thant you and seen you soon!!!!

Welcome to the Forum. You will find everything that you are looking for; and more, from this fantastic community!

Be sure to hang on to your wallet though ... this hobby can be a little bit on the pricey side.

:)
 
Thanks my friend.... for now just focus on samples... make my wallet great again!!!!

You are right!

My father used to like KEM, very beautiful cards. Any suggestions??
 
Welcome! If you have the budget for high end chips, you can safely skip the china clay samples IMO (unless you want something clearly inferior to compare your other samples to ;)). Instead get samples of the various molds true clay chips come in, as well as the different types of high end plastic chips.
 
Oi Willer,

Prazer te conhecer. Eu sou Americano mas minha mulher e brasileira.

Where in Brasil are you?
Are the poker houses you mention similar to the one in Caldas Novas, Goiás?
 
Olá jazzV3

O prazer é todo meu!

Eu falo de Minas Gerais, cidade de Belo Horizonte. Sim, as casas de poker são semelhantes às de Caldas Novas. Basicamente são bares e restaurantes com mesas de poker e dealers profissionais. Com torneios diários e algumas mesas de cash game. Em BH existem algumas (poucas é verdade!) opcões.

The pleasure is all mine.
Yes. Basically same deal as in Caldas Novas!
I am from Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais.
 
Welcome!
Brazil members are very rare here!!

I'm PSG fan, OK, you can laugh now :(
 
My wife and I have a condo in Goiânia and visit her family about 4 times/year.
I am currently trying to come up with an inlay for a custom poker set I am bringing to Brasil when we go back in April.

Welcome and good luck getting some better chip choices.
Se cuida!
