I'm fairly new to the poker chip world, being only 16, but as soon as I saw there were better chips than ... you guessed it ... the dice chip set I have, I knew I needed to upgrade. I probably could have lived with the dice chips (a gift from my parents; they got them at Target for about $20 or something) for playing poker, but I think I like poker chips even more than I like to actually play poker. (is that a bad sign?)

After searching the internet for a few months, I eventually came across this site and another site, and from there I came across the Mr.Chip WSOP replicas. They're reasonably priced, so I finally got myself a set of quality poker chips! Here are some pictures:





Some close-ups:



A fake game I set up just to show them in play (the chip leader's quads got beat by the all-in short stack's royal flush...totally unlikely, I know):


Looks like I've found a new hobby
Now, once I get enough money again, what should I buy...?

Great start, get ready to be broke!


By the way it is common for us (which now includes you) to be in denial of our habit .

Best wishes on your start,

Jeff

This is where it all starts! I did the same thing with my first nice set being Mr. Chip WSOP replicas. Very nice looking sets, and great pics!

I with you on that one.... Now, wait until you start getting hooked on real clays, then real obsolete casino chips....
