Tools Of The Trade: I Wish

Actually, the tools of my real trade would be items like board markers and exercise books but here are some images of the chippy chips I use to donk around with on various weekends. This first image is of The Fox cash game chips. These are quite light and have a light "plastic" feel to them. The front and backs are exactly the same. With lower stakes games mainly in operation and much more players buying in for smaller amounts it's actually quite rare to see a pink chip in action at the tables.

These next chips are those used at The Empire. They are heavier and just have a more "comfortable" feel to them although I don't like the inconsistancy in design with the £1 chip.

Finally, here's an image of the other chips I've picked up along the way. The first is a £1 chip from The Gala Casino in Bournemouth, the second is from The Grosvenor in Brighton and the third is a $1 chip which I picked up from Foxwoods, Connecticut in the good old US of A. The last one, by the way, is a Paulson chip which are the most expensive type. I'm not actually that keen on the sharp edges of the paulson chip but there ya go. If you decide to order this type over the net, by the way, you're looking at around £1.15 per chip!!

I'm pretty annoyed with myself for not making sure I had £1 chips from The Vic or The International to show but, still, as I'm going into town later on today I might just swing by and pick them up. I also have five varieties of my own poker chips which I bought from various sources but those will have to be shown in a later post, as will details of my wonderful playing card collection - a real treat, top notch!
