No pictures yet.. but with my state finally lifting everything...I am hosting the first home game since February next week. Feels like it's been a year...anyone else feel the same way?

Our crew hasn’t played live since February either. Called off our March game the week it was supposed to happen. It’s been the longest (and at the same time, quickest) 4 months ever! Looking forward to getting everyone together again. However, our game may be on hold for just a little longer.

Tuesday Tourney 12 players n ended up chopping it with 4 left @wonderpuddle brought the cash game chips but forgot to take pics lol

NC never flattened out and number of case continue to rise. I don't know when we be able to do a in-face home game.

Fun game last night even though I donked off my chips and was first out.

Cash game after was fun as well even though I lost there as well. Fun to get back to cards.

After the roughest first two hours have had in a while, I chopped first. I'll say it was the cut card....

 

[Meathooke]

A little bit o’ HORSE.... now that I actually have a limit set!!!
Sahara's in play!! Hoping I can hold on to some of them!!! Lol

Up a little so far!

 

[Meathooke]

Looks to be nearing the end....

How are those Sahara Reno $1s? I've never handled more than singles, but I was considering making them into a limit set.

I really like them! And love the mold!
They feel and sound just like old ASM chips... maybe slightly heavier? Certainly harder than Paulsons.
Being uncirculated, they’re still heavily textured and sharp/square edged, so somewhat harder to shuffle. They’re definitely a beige color, contrary to many pics I’ve seen that make them look much “whiter”... but that’s not a bad thing IMO. Only thing I could see as being a, eventual, problem is the hot stamp is not deep at all. I’m going to guess the foil will wear off on these MUCH faster than that of a stamped Paulson. That said, there are tons of them out there and available, and the (general) price is fantastic, so if ever there’s a need to replace any... it shouldn’t be difficult or costly!

Every one that played with them last night also seemed to like them, and I’d say they’re well worth the investment!! Especially for a limit set... and will be even better, come July, once @Apache Sahara plaques hit the market!!!

Also of note... Absolutely no way you can fit 20/barrel in a Paulson rack. However, they fit snug as a bug in my el cheapo racks that came with my birdcage.

So a good candidate for milling and relabeling?

I don’t believe I would do it (just because I actually really like the stamp) but heck yeah! I can only assume it would be a perfect candidate!

Fun hand from last nights .50/.50 NL home game! Flopped set vs set vs set! I was the lucky one with the Jacks

Three players at a 6-max-table are dealt and pair and all three flop a set

$20 6 player tourney last night, guess who won...

Was NICE to hang with some of my favorite people and play some poker last night!

I'm typically not a fan of solids, but that set is just electric.

Wait, wait, wait.... You are playing in a room you have dedicated to the city of Boston, with chips that say New York on them?

(Glad you are able to get some live play in.)

That's a really good point... @sheikh617, you know you be crossing some lines!

 

[WedgeRock]

I can dispose of them for you... PM for address.

He already knows my address, but thanks for the help.

I respect all venues. PNYs are great by the way! Already had two coolers in thirty minutes!

 

[Dodger]

Fair point. But you’re cutting it close.

You can’t mill PNYs, Josh.

Yes you can.... Lemme show you.

End result, -$230! These PNYs did not appreciate my Bostonian felt lol. I'd like to say I at least had a good time but a couple players were overly drunk and it was a handful keeping them in line. Had some pizza sauce on my felt, rail, and racetrack. Some not following protocol for mask wearing etc etc. Suffice to say as a trial run, this game was not very successful and I'll likely hold off on hosting for now! I just wanted to use my chippies

Man the colour on those chips is really great!
This could be a dumb question but what game are you playing here with 2 'lots' of hold cards? I know you can have 2,4,5 cards depending on the game, but don't think I've seen them at the same time? Thanks!
