Poker Chips - from Philippines

picked up a couple 10 peso poker chips from a poker club in Manila (government run), Metro Poker Club. If anyone is interested in a chip for their collection, let me know and I will grab you one. This is about 20 cents Canadian. The club offers 10/20, 25/50, 50/100, and 100/200 peso NL. When I visited the club, the highest limit running was 25/50. They started a 50/100 (around $1/$2 CDN) later but I was leaving so I stuck to the 25/50 table. Have never seen a poker room chip before below $1 in North America.

    I'd be interested if you have enough, please.

    highest is 10,000 pesos, that I have seen (approx. $200 CDN); can only provide the 10 peso chips as I don't want to get stuck with them.

    Here for vacation, for three weeks. At Anvaya Cove right now, temp is about 85 degrees.

    Its a hard life :)

    For you smokers, cigarettes are 12 pesos for the cheapest local cigarettes (around 30 cents Cdn) a pack and US cigarettes are around $1 CDN a pack.

    Can only provide one per person. Here is the site for the poker club:

    The Metro Card Club

    Was there last Friday; no demand for 50/100 peso table(around $1/$2 CDN) but they were running lots of 10/20, 25/50 tables and a couple 100/200. Seems weird that they jump from 25/50 tables to 100/200 with little interest for the 50/100; I was at a 25/50 table for a while so I didn't bother moving to the 100/200 table; also, didn't have the peso bankroll to move up limits. they don't allow cash advances on your VISA. Lost a big hand when my QQ ran into AA with four players all-in. Ended up down about 2,500 pesos on the night. They must have about 30 tables going at midnight.

    The tourney chips they use look like custom label Casino Royales.

    Casino Royale Poker Chip Set, Clay Poker Chips, Poker Chips For Sale

    I wonder if their cash game chips are the same.

    Yeah, only one chip for me. If you did bring a rack I bet you could sell it at a premium though over at chiptalk.
