| all the fuss about NexGens...
so i just got my samples of the river poker tour nexgens, and, honestly, i really don't see what all the fuss is about...i mean, i guess they look nice from a distance, but here is why i really don't like them all that much:
1) they are way too heavy for my taste
2) they really don't resemble clay even from a moderate distance ... clearly plastic all the way
3) many of the samples had very bad blemishes near the edge spots where the plastic was not flush with the mold
4) they are VERY slippery and fall all over the place when you move even a short stack
5) they have a very metallic sound when splashed
i guess i am just really picky about chips, but i definitely prefer even the 6 cent 5stardeal chips to the nexgens. i don't mean to be totally negative about the nexgens, they do have positive attributes as well (namely the nice colors and clay-looking edge-spots as well as the ease of custom labeling), but i really just don't get all the hype...am i the only one who feels this way?
BTW sorry if i offend any nexgen fanatics out there  |
