Talk to me about Paulsons...

Believe it or not, after all this time here on chiptalk I still have no experience with any Paulson chips. WTF, right? Well, I do have complete sample sets of ASMs and TR Kings but no Paulsons...

I'm about to order some sample sets from HPC.com. I'm definitely getting some Samurais, probably some Mardi Gras clays...but now I'm wondering which Paulsons I should get: Pharoah's? National Poker Series? The new TH&C ones? Something else?

For a Paulson virgin, where should I start?

DOH!

You NEED a set of each sample to agonize over

I have a sample set of the the Pharaohs and they are very nice, those new Private Cardroom's look nice also from the pics on here.

Re: Talk to me about Paulsons...

There is a bunch of information on here about those sets, which should be very helpful. My initial thoughts are

which of the designs do you like best? The Pharoah's have the Egyptian symbols, and both the NPS and new H&C line have a generic, tournament feel (no $ sign is cool imo).

which colors/denoms are you looking for? The Pharoahs have denom and non-denom versions and the other two have numbers with no dollar signs. Whether you play cash/tourney could affect this greatly.

do the molds/spots matter? The Pharoahs are all 4d14 and they, along with the NPS, use the mold with "PAULSON CHIPS" embedded into each chip. The new hat and cane versions have that sweet mold with the hat and canes, and the four suits between them.

If I bought a set it would be the new ones because of the mold. I just don't like the words PAULSON CHIPS stuck on there. But they all feel, sound, and stack about the same as far as I know. You really can't go wrong with Paulsons.

Re: Talk to me about Paulsons...

The answer is simple. You need samples of all of them, after all, one can never have too many Paulsons.

Send me your addy and I will send you a few for free. Everyone needs to feel a Paulson so they can see what everything is compared against.

Could you send me some Paulsons too? I want to find out what all the fuss is about and then maybe get some of my own.
