need help from home poker players

[Water]

I just realized that I posted this message in the wrong section...here is the deal.I want to make a present for my boyfriend and get him a poker set that has high quality cards. I saw a few stores in Metrotown where they sell chips, cards and sets for poker but they all seems poor quality. Does anyone know of a good store in Vancouver?

Thanx a bunch :)

Thank youfor the suggestion. i contacted "classic billiard games" or whatever that store is called. But I also found a a poker set 300pc at Army and Navy and it's at least half of the price! Do you (or anybody) know if that set is any good? The box doesn't say what the chips are maid out of and i can't tell by just looking at them.

if you like to play, and you like to play often.

I'd go for a better quaility set of chips

costco has a world poker tour box case with 250 clay chips, 2 decks of cards in a nice felt-lined metal case, I got one for myself, very good quality.

when it comes to cards, get bicycle.

they are only a couple bucks a pack.. but are kinda like the "industry standard" for cards. doesn't matter if some other brand is 50 bux a pack, a magician like myself or anyone who knows what's up with cards won't use em..

i don't know much about expensive chips however, i just use bicycle..

real poker players dont use bicycle cards. We use 100% plastic cards like ones offered by KEM, copag, gemaco, and even the USPC. But the bicycle chips you use are actually really good quality for an affordable price. Clay filled, 2 color chips at 8 grams have a very nice feel. Way better than those shitty 11.5g metal insert chips.
