Coronavirus Isolation... what to do, what to do.... (1 Viewer)

This is going to take a while...

Table is set up. No chairs, because no people. But the table needs something...

The Journey of chipping begins in the same place Covid-19 started. China.

The desire for customs outweighed the desire to wait for sufficient funds. Besides, this was my second set of chips, and I had never played poker. It wasn't until the Paulson Private Cardroom custom relables 1000s hit the table that I learned that there is a difference, and thicker doesn't mean better.

If you are following along in real time, feel free to ask any questions. If you are @Jonesey07 following along in real time, you should be helping. I got the ABS chips out of the way now.

The Zombie ceramics were intended to expand the ABS set. That failed. Still, some of my all-time favorite ceramics.

Striving for a unified set of chips, I found ChipTalk.net and finally got a unified set of custom chips. Indecisive, I got both a tournament set, and my first cash set.

Those blank chips are reserved for future "Zombie Poker Club Hall of Fame" inductees.

At some point, that little part of the brain that says "OK, this is enough" stopped functioning properly.

...but c'mon brain, custom CPCs!

Then my ship came in.

Seeing all those chippies in sunlight...

 

[Poker Zombie]

OK, boat over boat came in.

The Zombie World Edition RT Plastics chips with MSK plaques actually came in before the boat chips. This is a photoshoot, not an accurate docuseries.

I know it's not the world's greatest limit set, but it is a limit set... and I'm not a millionaire.

Somehow, I have one extra black chip in the very back. Go figure.

 

[Poker Zombie]

I've been at this for 2 1/2 hours.

Luckily, it gets easier as the sets get smaller.

Heads-up Matsui

...and a set for Open Face Chinese Poker. Hopefully this will get an add-on at the next chiproom sale. Mostly, I just like pink chips though.

Hot damn am I jealous of that BJ set. Sweet.

The latest set, the Martini Lounge:

All time thread right here.

As the sun sets, we lose optimal light for pics. Sadly, that means the full group shot will be obscured in a little shadow, but I can guarentee it will be many years before I even consider doing this again.

I almost forgot the Aviation Club de Zombie...

I hope this made your day of isolation a little happier.

[JeepologyOffroad]

Had no idea you had that many sets. Very nice collection indeed

 

[Jonesey07]

Gah! I need this isolation to end!!!!!

 

[Big Jilm]

OOOF!!!!

 

[200 Motels]

Ooooo. So many pretties. Get them outta the sun. CPC hates the sun. Perfect lighting tho!

 

[Mrs Poker Zombie]

Meanwhile.... I worked during most of this until my work day ended.

I wanted to take a few pics of my own, but PZ had already done them justice. Therefore enjoy a short video of them.

FYI - it took just under an hour to clean up.

Such an awesome thread you guys!
Really look forward to the day that I get to see you again. Would be nice to actually play some poker next time.
By the way, I always enjoy MJ’s writeups, and was sad to see the Vegas trip one unfinished.
And I need to get myself one of those zombie plaques!

Plaques are free. We've left then in every PCF'ers house that we've stayed in... so there is a price.

We do head up to BC every 10 years, but maybe we'll make the next trip sooner (Liz's brother lives in Victoria, so we have a reason).

Did not realize that I had an unfinished Vegas post. Alcohol usually gets to me by the end, but I do keep copious notes. Just bump the thread if I slip up!

Next Vegas trip is scheduled for July, hopefully the world will normalize by then.

Comic conventions are kind of like my house. Does that count? Lol.
We’re scheduled to be in San Diego for July. Miriam was chosen as a special guest for SDCC this year, but we’re afraid the event might be canceled.
Last time you guys came through this way I so badly wanted to play, unfortunately work got in the way. Things like that is what has actually made me reflect on whether or not I want to go back to work there when our France edition finishes up.

Awesome thread, and equally awesome sets! For the ES set, do you pick and choose with 5's are going to be in play for that given night?

I'll let you know if the $5s ever hit the table.

Seriously though, I only intend to use the Brown $5s. I seriously dislike the red 5s (or just about any red chip with blue spots). I was going to sell the red 5's off for what I bought the brown (relabeled AS $2s) for, but then thought that if I ever needed to sell the ES cash set, it would be devalued by not having the "right" $5s.

In the meantime, if I had a player that disliked the non-standard brown chip, I would put the reds back into play. Meanwhile, they are trade fodder if anyone wants to unload AS $5s.
