New chipper from Germany (2 Viewers)

[zille]

Hello together,

I'm a new member from Germany just gathering gear to host some nice homegames with my friends.
Since last year I'm also a frequent visitor in my local casino.

My first order arrived today - I've also written a review. I guess it needs a bit of time until that is visible by the public.

Since I have a large table at home I was looking for a poker cover for that table. I found several and they looked very similar to mousepads.
I ordered a giant mousepad instead - it was cheaper and I'm curious if that will work. But I guess cards have to glide, mouses have to glide - how different could that be.
Also a pad without a print could be used for boardgames too.

What are your thoughts on mousepads as a poker table top?

I've spend the last weeks looking up gear.

I use a giant sheet of neoprene, cut to my table. Works really well. I suspect mousepads are similar, just with the added non-stick bottom. Might actually work better as my neoprene topper is a bit slippery, requiring me to secure it somehow.

Please post an update on how it works for you.

Welcome to PCF,

I seem people selling Poker Felt in custom size as Desktop mouse pads before

But not all mousepad surface felt / are the same, some are vastly different and it depend on your choice of mousepad

Ah hello! Love the ideated DIY attitude. That said, reminds me that I never did get a chance to buy any of the Stralka chips, always wanted those.

Hello and welcome

I was wondering whether you guys have any feedback on the chips I bought or my review in general:

https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/europe-the-nuts-and-diamond-club-budget-chips.88751/

The prices of the Nuts chips compare to what clays are sold in the US - am I paying to much for these kind of chips?

Here's a set that would be a good fit for what you're looking for.

Thanks.

Please correct me if I'm wrong: 406 chips are about 4.5 kg - which means that USPS international shipping would be $80.
On top I have to pay import sales tax and customs fee. So in sum 300+ €

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

Yup. It's an unfair game for us europeans.

Still comes down to around 75ct/chip and I prefer ceramics over plastics or china clays all day.

Get samples!

Yessir. Since this is written everywhere on this page, you don't have to.

If you put it in your signature you don't have to type it every time ;-)
