What is on these chips??? (1 Viewer)

[Monstercash]

I played this Saturday night. NLHE Turbo. I came in 5th out of 35 entries. In the money. Good times.

I want to know what exactly is this goo on these chips? Filthy. It was like a film of brown toe cheese. It’s not Dorito dust. I didn’t sniff em either.

This was my starting stack.

I believe the technical term is hooker juice?

 

[MrCatPants]

My guess is accumulated dead skin and oil from people's hands. @asam2006, these "chunks" look like those noirs we split.

 

[FDLmold]

Organic material from the hands of every person who has touched those chips before you did.

 

[Beakertwang]

It might be chocolate. The only way to know for sure is to lick them.

Yeah, that's the usual buildup on casino chips. Despite it being kind of soft and waxy rather than liquid at all, "hooker juice" is the proper scientific term at PCF. It's the opposite of how it's technically incorrect to call koalas "bears", regardless of the similar appearance. However, just like with koalas, there's a good chance the substance will harbor chlamydia.

Casino’s should wash their chips to prevent spread of infection and it should be courtesy alone to wash them for appeal.

I wonder if there are cases where someone has gotten sick after handling chips...rubbing your eye, wiping your face, eating/drinking at the table, spreading to your phone, licking your fingers.....you get the point. Haha.

The first thing I do is lick my fingers after playing a long session at the local casino. Hooker juice taste vastly different depending on what part of the country you are in.

Chips from Texas taste like tacos.

In Ohio they taste a little like radish

This has taken an unexpected turn for the weirder.

This is why I never go to a cardroom or casino without a gallon of hand sanitizer.

Just play with latex gloves on.

I understand. When I play live, I always hit the bathroom on the way out to thoroughly wash my hands.

 

[FordPickup92]

Mmmm hooker juice and boogers. Maybe some ass crustys..... definitely should lick it you'll know right away if it's not chocolate

 

[bradiggy]

Those are spotless compared to some of the spots in Vegas..I bring hand sanitizer to the table cus no matter how dirty, I can't stop myself from shuffling

 

[AfterTheFact]

Doesn’t everyone change their vehicle’s oil and transmission fluid right before playing poker without washing your hands?

I've definitely seen much worse -- the President/Admiral, Empress, and Par-A-Dice sets (all from riverboats, btw) were really loaded with grime, and released to the masses long before ultrasonic cleaners and TSP became popular. Cleaning them by hand qualified for hazardous duty pay in 16 states.

I think the official term is "casino gunk", but it's more popularly referred to as "hooker juice". Personally, I think it's an affront to prostitutes everywhere, since I've never met a .... uh, wait, nevermind....

No joke, I cleaned a rack of those silver 7s a couple of months ago, probably the dirtiest chips I've encountered for being relatively new.

Counterpoint -- I wonder if through the exposure to casino gunk that poker players have built up a greater resistance to certain germs and infections.

I wouldn't bet that poker chips are any dirtier or less sanitary than other surfaces that different people touch on a regular basis -- door handles, cash, coins, hand rails on stairways, elevator buttons, etc., but at least you can see the accumulated dirt on Paulson clay poker chips.

Said dense accumulated areas of Hooker Juice also can be referred to as Hooker Juice Fudge.

Has anyone licked the felt? I’m surprised the felt on the tables isn’t as Grimy. At least they brush the felt....yes?

And wipe the rail. I’m surprised there isn’t any hooker poo streaks on the rail as well.

 

[Monstercash]

It’s confirmed that there are leftover hooker juice and smegma on the felt & rail in zoomed picture

 

[BGinGA]

Well, I USED to browse PCF while eating lunch, no more.....
