In the last 10 years Poker, and more specifically Texas Hold’em, has sweeped accross the nation like a huricane of Katrina proportions. Everyone knows at least one person that either plays on a regular basis or once in a while. Professional Poker tournaments are aired on various TV stations and their ratings have sky-rocketed. Guys such as Chris Ferguson have become house hold names. More and more places are selling chip sets. Some companies are even going as far as marketing their poker chip sets as ‘Texas Hold’em Poker Chips” due to the current popularity of Texas Hold’em, a variation of the original Poker game. These specific sets can still be played with standard poker as well, they’re just marketed differently to probably attract new comers that don’t know much about the game to buy their Poker chip sets.

With all of this hype surrounding the game, and as an avid Poker player mysel, I figured why not mention a couple of these Poker chip sets that are affordable, yet of good enough quality to have fun with friends and familly.

Trademark Poker 500 Dice Style 11.5-Gram Poker Chip Set

Chips And Games 8 Player Folding Octagon Poker Table Top

Ok, so this one is not a poker chip set, but I figured it was worth mentioning since it my personal favorite. It’s also something that I own and use about once a month when I host a poker game at my place. It’s an authentic poker table top but since I don’t have the room for a large table in my house, I use this folding poker / blackjack table top. It’ss the perfect way to turn any square or round table into an authentic gaming surface like the ones found in casinos in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. The playing surface measures 52″ from corner to corner. You can play up to 8 players you it has places for your drink as well as a chip trays for each player. When the night is over and you’re done playing, the tabletop folds for easy storage and comes with a sturdy black zippered carry bag with handles. Couple this with one of the two Poker chip sets I mentioned above and you’ll have the most authentic Poker game possible without having to go to a noisy casino.
