Checking in from the SF Bay Area (2 Viewers)

[LeCoq]

Hello,
Fairly new member here, but I have been bitten by the bug.
I accidently bought a set of Tiget Palace chips today to add to my growing collection.
I have Nevada Jacks Dessert Sands as my daily drivers and I am getting in on Justin's group buy for some 43mm Web molds Sands chips.
I will also order a Hustler Casino tribute set if that group buy ever happens.
I play in 2 poker leagues locally and I hold a low stakes cash game at my house nearly every Saturday night.
I would love to meet some local Bay Area folks and possibly play some poker.
I hope some locals will post here.

Welcome to PCF!

This is usually where I make some joke about hiding your wallet, but if you're already at "accidentally bought Tiger Palace chips" then you're already a lost cause like so many others here.

Not me though. I'm built different. I can stop any time I want to.

@Godzilla28 is this anyone we already know?

Hey DirtyTIVA,
Thanks for the post. I do not think that I know anyone here. I play in the Sunshine poker League in Sunnyvale and the All In Poker League in Fremont so if you huys play there too then we might know each other. I would love to get to know you guys though. I had to cancel my game tomorrow because I did not have enough players. Most of my regulars just could not make it so I would love to expand my circle.

Thanks for the post. Yeah, I'm F'd. I'm late to the party. I messaged Ken to see what's up. He's like I have these and I FOMO and drained my bank account.

I seem to have decided to lean into project sets instead of taking a second mortgage to just buy the pretty NAGB sets....

but I get the temptation

I really liked the Tiger Palace chips and thought there was not a chance to get those so when opportunity knocked I answered, but yeah it was an expensive day for me. I bought the VIP 1 cash set $.25/$.50 from Ken and added a rack of $.25 and I also bought 200 of the primary $1 from MrCatpants. So I have a set of 900 Tiger Palace which is enough for me.

I played in SPL once last year and won it. Made a good friend from that group who became a regular. He has since moved to Chicago.

Welcome from San Jose!

"Accidentally" bought a Tiger Palace set? Are we talking about a sample set or dropped $8k on a playable set kinda Accident?

Hi Vineyard, thanks for the post. Yeah, I got the bug and when the opportunity presented itself I had to pull that painful trigger. shoot me a DM with your email address and I will add you to my poker group email for my Saturday game.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. No rational person is dropping that kind of coin on poker chips. I have a playable set of 900 chips. I got 700 from Ken in new condition and I got 200 from Mrcatpants that had been felted twice. shoot me a DM with your email address and I will add you to my poker group email for my Saturday game.

Vancouver to southern California would be quite the commute for a weekend home game, but I appreciate the thought! Enjoy those Tigers, you splashy degenerate!
