The Sound of the Chips
Have you ever noticed how much noise emanates from a poker game, even when there is no action taking place? I'm not talking about voices chattering away (although that does happen). What I am referring to is the constant sound of poker chips being stacked, cut, and shuffled. The noise that the chips make when they are thrown into the pot is secondary to the nervous clatter of the ways the players handle their chips.
The sound that the poker chips make differs based on the composition and the weight of the chips. I love the sound that the clay chips make. And the heavier the chip, the deeper the sound they make when they splash the pot. When 14 gram clay chips are stacked or tossed, they make a deep resounding clang. The lighter clay or clay composite chips, like the 11.5 gram version, make more of a clinking sound when they are handled. The resonance made when even lighter chips are used, like 10 grams, is quieter than their heavier counterparts.
The music of the poker chips is a very compelling sound. Anyone who loves to play poker will tell you that there is something special about the noises which come from the poker table. It's like coming home. It's like a comfortable pair of shoes. It's like your favorite pair of jeans. It just feels good!
So the next time you have a poker game, sit back and listen to the clinks and clangs of the poker chips. You'll be glad you did.
