Been my biggest and greatest allie in this hobby. He's helped me personally and with chips. I can't actually describe in words who this guy is, how cool he is, and how much time he gives to help others. Man's got 3 kids at home and raises an amazing family. Thanks Zaki! You are more than deserving of this.
Always ready to help me, answer questions, offer guidance, being a sounding board for me, and showing me how true friends really treat one another. It's especially true with Zaki because we have never met. So much mutual respect!
@Steppenwolf is right there behind him. Been a big supporter of all things chipping and beyond. Gifted me chips for no reason other than his heart is bigger than any I know of on PCF. Money is meaningless to the guy and I'm just so blessed I came across these 2 guys I'm mentioning.
Merry Christmas to all. All the best for a resurgent 2021.
Thanks for the show @jr8719

What can I say man, blown away by your comments Nav. Been a really long time since I felt a connection to group of people via hobby, sport, etc. To be more specific, ever since I left Jordan to move back to the US. My old friends and softball league I commissioned there was the last time. That was of course up until I met the Orange County crew and you via this forum. Eternally grateful for the great friendships and that’s what fuels me to help anyway I can.
That being said, I’d like to nominate both @Jeevansluck and @Steppenwolf even though I’d technically like to add more people. I’ll keep it at those two. Chipping and outside of chipping, you guys have been as genuine as they come. I’ve shared some pretty personal stuff with both of you and they’ve always been replied to with good insight and thoughtfulness. Thank you.
I’m new here and so I haven’t had too many extensive conversations or had the opportunity to meet others in person yet, but I can nominate @TheChipRoom for offering phenomenal deals on great chips to get me hooked on the Paulson drug!

@RainmanTrail Sent me chips I needed for my Outpost sample set and wouldn’t take anything in return
@PokerDots insisted on sending me a refund for a chip lost in transit, which was totally unnecessary as it was one of 40 extras
lots of others have traded or sold me important chips in my collection... thank you all!

This is so tough! How can you name just one? I honesty can't do it, so I won't mention anyone by name. But, in the holiday spirit, here are some examples of things people in this community have done for me in 2020, sharing in the highs and lows of chipping and life as a whole:
1) Friendship, support, listening, being vulnerable, and spending precious time, energy, money and chips for the benefit of others, including me. I especially treasure your prayers and words of encouragement for our family, the arrival and health of our son, tragic losses of loved ones, and some other pretty significant life events (like a new job);
2) Overpaying for chips, which I had previously regret selling, in order to shake them loose, just to be able to sell them to me at a much lower price (#reverseflip#);
3) Discounts/refunds on purchases, given after I had agreed to/paid a higher price;
4) Gifting/re-gifting to charities of chip sales proceeds and other gifted funds;
5) Inclusion of dealer buttons, cut cards, cappers, extra chips, COVID masks, hot sauce and other items in chip packages;
6) Running group buys and taking over responsibilities that I had signed up for;
7) Giving up closely-guarded chips to help me and my friends get what we wanted, including entire sets and missing pieces, often times at well below market prices;
8) Harvesting barrels and racks of chips for me (without asking for a finder's fee);
9) My favorite outfit for the kiddo (Daddy's Future Poker Buddy);
10) A picture frame/chip display to celebrate the birth of our son (during a poker club trip to Vegas);
11) Offering to create custom artwork to remember a loved one who passed away;
12) Invitations to events, generously hosting me and my friends, traveling together, and shared dreams of future meet-ups;
13) Becoming a chipper just to give us something fun to do together as friends;
14) Being patient, understanding, fair, kind, and trusting, forgiving my inadequacies and failures, and allowing me to play a part in your life, this hobby and our beloved chipping family.
PCF friends... I am so grateful for you!

Jack, butt you alright or wha'? This is a well tidy giveaway!
As many have already said, this truly is a great forum, and one of the friendliest / welcoming ones I've been a member of (other than the odd bit of chopsing).
Everyone is happy to go out of their way to help chippers out and it's really great see, especially after all the BS of 2020.
A lot of members here have really helped me out whilst building my first set after moving away from Shonky chips, but I'd have no doubt in tagging @Thisfiendis138. A true gent and chip bro for sure!!
Not being funny, but other than the HS Cinci 25k and my rack of Terrible fracs, spotted Flamingo's are one of my favourite chips out there. They are lush!
Thanks, Drive!!

It is impossible for me to choose only one or even two people when so many are deserving.
With that said, here goes!
@arch3r
Thank you for helping out on that little purchase of mine earlier this year. A normal person would have asked for specifics, and most likely politely declined to help. Not this maniac!
Chris-“Let’s do it!”
Me-“Are you sure?”
Chris-“Fuck yeah, that thing is awesome. I might keep it for myself!”
It has provided tons of joy for me. I hope to get together when all this crap is over so we can have a play date with it.
@pltrgyst
Larry gets an undeserved bad rap as far as I am concerned.
He helped me with some “unobtainable” chips that he probably didn’t want to let go of.
His straight forward personality is a good thing. All societies need people that tell it like it is and share dissenting opinions even when they are not popular.
He is a cornerstone of this community and like him or not, everyone knows it.
Thank you wholeheartedly to both of you.
Thank you to this community for enduring despite all the adversity.
Happy Everything,
Joe

Thank you very much @Thomacetti for nomating me.
I would have to nominate more than a thousand members if I had to nominate every great members of PCF.
I'll say @Jackstraw and @ChaosRock for their great help to my chip addiction!

Anytime brother. Glad I could help. And I too look forward to a play date with all our toys. (
hmm, that totally sounds like an Out Of Context post waiting to happen.

Thanks Larry! I appreciate it. By the way, even though we are not having an All in at the Alamo this year you and your lovely wife can come and visit anytime. I have any extra room at the new home if necessary.
