Hopefully this is in the right thread but wanted to air something out about Paulson chips. First off I’ve been playing since the poker boom in 03’ and have frequently been to my local casinos (Bicycle, Hustler, Commerce) and have always chased “casino” chips. Back then I bought a thousand A/K style chips without denom that were “clay” at 11.5g a chip and was the coolest in my hood with Tri-colors when everyone had dice chips; and never saw the need to purchase anymore chips.
Fast forward to 2020 and I’m still the poker nut in my circle that’s obsessed with poker and stumbled upon PCF and wanted to chase “casino” chips.
All that to say that I don’t understand the desire to own Paulsons, the idea of desiring “mint” chips. Mines are Lady Lucks mint and are stiff and clunky, they don’t feel like casino chips, are they supposed to see thousands of hours before they begin feeling like Casino chips? Why is it important to have a chip stand on its edge? Hustler Casino chips are Hat and Cane chips and don’t stand on edge I know they’ve seen years of daily play. I prefer chips not to stand so I can shuffle easier, I almost want to spend hours shuffling my LL’s to hurry up the process. Am I the only one? Lol also Bud Jones feel more casino-ish than my Paulsons. Even when I splash the pot it doesn’t sound Authentic. Is it nastalgia? What am I missing here, sorry for the novel. Thanks for your feedback
