Plastic or Paper?
Paper but a think coating on the inside and some texture. Exteriors not so much.
Needed them for the blackjack table tho!
Plastic coated paper
I'd actually assume it's a linen stock vs paper stock given the specific texture, right?Plastic coated paper
Well technically it's a linen finish on top of a paper card. That's the easiest way to understand it.
Whiskey for chips! That’s poker related! Booyah!

Yeah, you were right. Did some searching too, Hoyle used a "nevada finish" which to your point is just textured paper/plastic coating.
I'm used to linen cards that look somewhat similar (e.g. air cushion) that just have the holes in the texture throughout and always assumed my Hoyles were linen. My bad!
Well, they don’t seem crazy durable so we will see how long they last lol
They're not meant to be very durable. Most casinos use cards for one night, probably only a few hours and get rid of them.
Don't expect too much out of them! That's why you see most older casino decks or playing cards are bowed, warped or have some defect after hours and hours of use.
Thanks to @calfdemon for supplying me with a $25 that actually works in this mixed set. I was holding out for RVCL but it seems I underestimated their desirability. And with a 6th rack of $5s coming from @dkellerd I’m sad to say the EJ $5s are no longer for sale or trade on their own.
And just because @UnicornFlash dared me to, here’s a fun pic in honor of a new rack of EJ $100 from @Jackstraw.

Love those Fitz. I used to have 2 racks of these.
I don’t even use fracs but blue and gold is just such a striking combination and goes with anything… maybe not blue $1s but luckily I don’t have any!
Haha is microstakes 5 cent 10 cent? Figured quarters was micro lmao!
Idk we need an official ruling. If ur set has TWO different frac denominations = micro stakes.
I think it's kind of relative, but generally on the sub $0.25 stakes. Just funny to those of us that play those stakes exclusively.

General standard is anything NL50 and below (some consider NL25 as the limit rather than NL50) is considered micro stakes

This is my first set of poker chips!
Thanks to @Chris Manzoni for his Home Poker Cash Game and Tournament Tutorial videos!
Using his numbers, I built this set to be flexible across a 5¢/10¢ cash game for 10 players, a 25¢/50¢ cash game for 10, and a T20,000 tournament for up to 20. I also built it for travel, where I'll know ahead of time what stakes I'm playing on the particular night, so I'm not concerned about tournament chips showing up in a cash game or anything like that. I run a tight ship where every chip is accounted for at the end of the night.
Starting Stacks:
Total Chip Counts:
These are the Royal Flush poker chips from Discount Poker Shop. This particular set of 1,000 chips can be built there for $100. Their basic chip racks fit these chips really well, and the Versa chip carrier is great for travel!
I think this is a really good beginner set. I'm looking at the Royal Card Room chips from Apache Poker Chips, or the DDLM chips from BR Pro Poker for my next set, where I'll save up some money for an investment into a higher-quality set.

Pretty cool for $100, try so save up a bit more and you can try to get customs from the monthly group buy

Thanks to @Hotus777 for helping me complete the set that first caught my eye when I began my chipping journey. Didn’t think I’d ever find these in such minty condition. I’ve never seen the $1 and $5 chips in such perfect condition. Ended up with too many $25 and $100 chips, but they’ll find a nice home somewhere in the classifieds.

Eagle Aruba sample, mixed barrel sample, and Bob-ombs. A productive first month on the forum.
One more barrel and the rack is complete
I love these chips
