Hi all,
Stumbled upon this forum a little over a year ago when I was playing regularly at my local casino and decided it was time to invest in some solid chips for myself. Had an entry level carousel set and whenever I would get a home game going, it stopped feeling acceptable to use such chintzy chips for real money play. Found a bunch of useful information here which led me to purchase a couple sample sets, but then the poker room at my casino shut down and I kind of lost my steam without completing a full set.
Haven't played a live game since but have been playing regularly online with a bunch of friends from all over. Recently, one of my buddy’s mentioned that he shuffled poker chips while playing online to make it feel more real. I immediately grabbed my sample's and started messing with them, again getting that feeling of satisfaction which comes from handling well-made poker chips. Since then, I have been browsing around the forum daily for the past few days.
I am no stranger to collecting and it appears my evolution has gone from sneakers, to playing cards, to now likely poker chips. Yesterday I decided to register and get involved because I can't continue to let the activity within this community miss me by being a mere lurker! I apologize in advance for any frustration that may come from my ignorance or misinterpretation of how things typically work, but please bear with me since I am a newbie and have a lot to learn.
That being said, utilizing the PCF glossary has been clutch and this appears to be a very welcoming and helpful community. I am excited about all this forum has to offer. Also, thanks to @The Chip Exchange I have some barrels of Horseshoe’s on the way to wet my whistle for this journey. Good looking out!
