if this guy is serious about returning his chips, which i doubt, the world is coming to an end....

I think he's just been taking some posting tips from yeltzen. . .

If I were to drop a Sony TV from a height of 4-5ft several times onto a cement/tile floor, I would expect it to break but I wouldn't go around saying Sony's quality sucks.

when was the last time you and your friends sat around a table throwing sony TV's into the pot?

Chips fall on the ground. If they are falling of a table and breaking that is not good. Nobody will respect your chips like you do. And they will get thrown around (probably not to purposely destroy the chips). They will fall off the table every once in a while. If i had a choice between a chip that will withstand a 5 foot drop and a chip that wont I will take the one that will.

You are talking like they break after one drop though. The review specifically states that it broke after 4-7 continuous drops onto solid concrete. They also probably dropped the chip the same way each time.

Yes, when you play some chips may fall off the table, but the chances that the same chips, fall the same way, 4 times in a row and break are practically nil.

Am I saying they wont break? Not at all. What I am saying is that it is being vastly blown out of proportion.

As I said, I have samples here from ASM and they have been put through hell for the past 6 months (certainly much worse then any game could put them through) and they have held up fine.

Just thought someone might be interested to see one that actually broke during a drop test. This particular one broke after 5 drops. I will say though, that I personally consider ASM to be one of the top 3 clay chips on the market.

Odds a chip will break during a night of poker ~ 1/10,000
Poker nights per year ~ 52

Therefore,

Expected chips broken per year = 13/2500
Expected durability cost per year = $0.00494 or roughly $0.00

These chips rule, Q.E.D.

(Thanks again for the compliments. I will post the color combinations if/when I can find them; the girl at pokerchips.com changed them from my suggestions to match the mockup I provided.)

Update on the reliability of Pokerchips.com chips.

We had a 10 hour poker game on Sunday. Hour 7 was the "drunk and energetic" hour and a small poker chip war broke out. I'd say 5 or so chips got thrown very hard against players, other chip stacks, and some wood furniture before I was able to stop the madness.

None of the chips showed any damage at all. Everything was fine after I threatened to confiscate all the chips without refund from the next person to throw a chip.

Again, these chips rule.
