Does he want to buy any chips?

Instead of a $10k shitty table and chips, he could have bought a Barrington, topper and 3 nice sets of THC.

Oh, he went all out on those! Got these sweet "clay" Monte Carlos:

I did advise him against it and pointed him at Apache, but he decided to go his own way. If you knew this guy, it was no surprise.

He could have bought a custom table from freakin' chanman and still had enough for a set of THC!

Encourage him to join here and show off his great setup.

Oh, and as you can see, the builder couldn't even supply friggin LEGS for $10K!

Holy crappers... I hadn't originally noticed that!! Bases are a very expensive part to some table builds. Not this one = mind blown.

Buddy of mine who is trying to start up his own game asked me what I thought of these "chips"...and he was completely serious about buying a set. Luckily I talked him out of that one. However, he later bought an epoxy poker table for $10K without asking for any advice, sooooo.......

LOL WUT

LOL WUT

AND, he had to borrow those chairs. This was his first game though, but as far as I know he is still using them. I refuse to play on his table so I haven't been to any of his games.

I don't think he would last too long, but I'd definitely bring some popcorn to that thread

When I hear someone spent 10,000$ for a table that NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would pay 1000$ for used it just makes me sick to my stomach. I mean, what kind of money do you have to have/make to spend 10k on a table in your basement, let alone one that appeals to NO ONE else. I can see spending 10k on a snooker table that is QUALITY built to PRECISE tolerances for skilled play, but this is an item literally DESIGNED to have beer spilled on it etc. Which guy owns the table? Royal blue shirt?

That table's existence offends me. Form over function is for fools. And as for the $10K - what do they say about a fool and his money?

me, to this table:

If he was smart he’d try and offload it to some rich Star Wars idiot before any wear and tear kicks in so he can start fresh and try again…that thing is fucking gross.

This table makes me feel so good about my topper lol

 

[allforcharity]

I suppose if you're going to spend that kind of money on that kind of table then it's not a far walk to buying shitty metallic chips with a marginal pirate theme.

Exactly what I suggested! But he says he loves it.

There's a pretty hilarious thread that ensued when he posted it to r/poker, the builder even participated:

About a month ago, the guy who built it "fixed" it...

 

[Mangatang]

Why is he dealing backwards?

This thread got completely hijacked in the best way possible.

Fixed the card peek issue. All of the other flaws still exist.
