1600 fits very nicely in a 1000 and 600 birdcage, y'know. Just sayin'

But having one 600 and one 1000 birdcage is lopsided. 2000 is better, nice and even. Just sayin'.

Thank you Marsha, I knew we were heading there.

Glad to help.

So how many chips do your custom cases hold? Plenty of room at the post for another one of those (and they're beautiful).

Going to be a completely different style of case. Way WAY different. Fortunately much cheaper.

All will be revealed in time. Don't even have art from J5 yet.

How big do your games run?? I played in a weekly .50/$1 single table Hold-em game for years that ran only half as big as the .25/.50 game that I hosted last year.

My regular games run pretty normal. Meet ups can run anywhere.

Ill weigh in here.

For most of my sets, I went with just a .25 figuring that Id have the flexibility to play 25/50 or 50/1. However, once I started collecting Riverboats, I found that I LOVED having both a .25 and a .50 and being able to switch them out based on the game or my mood. So I guess what I would suggest is whatever you decide for this side project - Since you will already be placing an order with CPC - Why not consider a .50 for the HP set as well?

I think I'm buying into the whole .25/.50 thing. But who said anything about CPC? [emoji41]

GOCC ceramics ?

GOCC ceramics ?

Yeah, I've had a ceramic project in mind for some time and just couldn't pass up a sale for about 25% off. I've really been impressed with GOCC's quality on everything I have handled from them.i literally sent them money to lock in the sales price with the understanding that the art will come when it comes. I just put my idea in the J5 queue and have no idea what the wait is as he seems like he's got a little backlog going atm.

I think GPI saw pics of the Hitching Post and mistook it for an actual casino. They have been sending him promotional stuff for Paulson/BCC's and now Mr. Tree is simply ordering a "sample" of 1200 1400 1500 1600 2000 2200 chips.

I think. Might be wrong.

If I could pull that one off I'd be Harriet Tubman running the Paulson Underground Railroad of PCF

In that case, definitely order 2000, and save the HP .50 $2 and $500 for a rainy day.

I've had a request in with him since late April and still haven't heard anything - I told him it wasn't urgent and it still isn't so no biggie to me, but just saying the wait may be awhile...

Yeah I know. I told GOCC it will come when it comes.

Wow though, nothing since April? I knew he was back logged... But damn.

Ok so how would you breakdown a 1200 chip cash set. Normal game is .50/$1 NL PL with occasional stretches up to $1/$1 or $1/$2. Denoms .25/$1/$5/$25/$100?

For reference my initial thought was
.25 - 160
$1 - 360
$5 - 500
$25 - 140
$100 - 40

From my experience with my own home cash games of similar stakes: I have too many quarters (200). I have enough $1 chips, 320. Would not go lower. I have 320 $5 and would run short with as many players as you have. I like the 500 or more idea. I too like $20s, but mostly as it separates any possible confusion with tourney set. I have 100 x $20 and 40 x $100, and never have issues.

 

[Mr Tree]

Order placed for 1500 chips using multiple fracs and even at even racks. I'm easily manipulated apparently.

Now just the long wait back from J5. He must be inundated as he didn't even respond to my initial request for the project yet and he usually talks to me pretty quickly.

Just FYI he was out of town on vacation last week I believe and I know he's been slammed.

Working with him on a little something something myself, so with me, you and Ben plus who knows who else all pinging him, he's probably feeling like the hottest girl at the gangbang right now.

Get in line, chumps. I kid. I'm in no rush with my TPP plaque artwork and he knows it so hopefully he's working on projects for dudes that are really chomping at the bit for one reason or another.

I'm willing to wait in line. I actually sent the original thoughts to him on 8-13 with the caveat. "Hey I'm in no hurry get to it when you can." Then I decided it would be silly to miss GOCCs sale on a ceramic project I am planning to do with them anyway so I circled back with a "Hey no rush, but..."

I'm sure he gets tens of emails every day.

We can't expect everyone to deliver Red Ott levels of service

 

[Mr Tree]

So I'm going to keep this project secret until I am ready to unveil it BUT

Since I was already at the well @Jeff would be happy to know I am also getting a Hitching Post kill and half kill button devised.

Update: just heard from J5 as a result of this post - apparently he just misplaced my request and wasn't THAT backlogged. All good!

 

[Mr Tree]

Yeah he got in touch with me as well. Told me he has no idea when he could get around to my project but he is happy to do it. Already told GOCC there will be a wait.
