A WPT poker chips set was a nice surprise
The World Poker Tour or WPT has hit
the television and media like an all in bet and a two ace flop. And of
course with all that popularity there will be products. There are playing
cards, hats, shirts and a never ending list of other trinkets. What I want
to talk about is the WPT poker chips set.
I do a lot of writing about poker
chips, sets and the like and my clients know that. It’s a hobby I enjoy.
The other day I was surprised to find out that one of my best clients went
online and ordered me a set of WPT poker chips, the 500 piece set. These
chips are sweet!
I saw the deluxe metal carrying case
and got excited right away. It has the WPT logo embossed right on the front,
locks and it looks incredible. With baited breath I opened it up and was
happy to find that unlike some cheaper poker chip sets, there were small
blind, big blind and dealer buttons included and with their own black velour
holding slot.
Now here is the big thing. Having
the WPT on the 500 piece chip set was one thing but these are a special
Bellagio Las Vegas set. I was to Las Vegas a couple of months ago so this
made my poker chip set feel even more special. Each green, blue, red and
brown poker chip has the WPT logo on one side and a nice Bellagio logo
on the other. The edges were also nicely rounded so I could blunder through
my best attempts at some poker chip tricks.
Does any of this make you play poker
any better? Of course not, but when my girlfriends Dad and friends came
over I couldn’t wait to ask them if they wanted a game. I had to show off
my chips. Childish maybe, so what. There were two Bellagio card decks that
were in there and another neat and helpful thing was a cheat sheet of card
hand rankings so that the newer folks could tell if they should fold or
bet.
We all threw in 20 dollars and had
a great time sitting around the kitchen table laughing, bluffing and the
worst of us blushing. I can’t wait for a couple of weeks when we will all
be in Mexico together, having a few drinks and laughing while we throw
a few chips into the center.

loves to write about the different styles of poker
chip sets and other poker
supplies and accessories that make the game so fun.
