Where is my Josh Kifer commemorative T335 chip?
The dreaded half/half tourney structure.Tournament using cash denoms?
This past Saturday was our Hall of Fame game, where a player was inducted and we acknowledged the achievements of 2021.
To start.... PZ made two stews (the one on the right was hot). Sides of roles, cornbread (both "standard" and jalapeño), mac 'n cheese, mashed potatoes, veggies, humus (3 kinds), popcorn, black-eyed-peas with chow chow, pistachio fluff, salad, and chips and dip.
Three desserts - pineapple upside-down cake, donuts, and a sort of chocolate cheesecake ball thing.
I kicked us off with last year's achievements then handed the floor to PZ. He had folks raptly paying attention (minus the girl on the left that was late and cramming in food).
Then it was time for our newest inductee to give his acceptance speech. We happen to know he'd been worries about it for ages. He did an excellent job and it was the most words I've heard in a single session! I appreciated the complements he gave back to PZ and I as well as the club.
Then we got goin with poker..... and I frankly forgot to take any more pictures. Which is a shame, because the final two were our tallest and shortest players heads up! Ah well.

Are you guys musicians?

You and @Poker Zombie are more than welcome to adopt me for one day. I mean, look at all that glorious food!
I am capable of playing the piano...some...however, that music stand is a remnant from when I was asked to facilitate several training sessions and I let my leaders know I needed an easy-to-move "lectern". Later down the road, they didn't have any need for it and we've used it since then.
That's cool! I never had any of those fancy stands. I only ever had the chrome fold out / fall apart style, lol!

That print of chip molds on the wall is really neat! Is that sold anywhere, or did you have that made?

Short story: it was a gift.
Long story: Redbelly's Crown Jewels . It's a long read, but one of the most interesting (and important) stories in the history of chipping.
Feel free to PM me if there are parts of the story that don't make sense. What was common knowledge in 2014 is a lot more obscure to people new to the hobby.

outstanding! I would be in for everything but the black-eyed-peas. They used to be one of my favorite sides. Diverticulitis no longer allows me to eat beans in any quantity
If I "HATED" poker, I would still play in every single event that you hosted! See you in three weeks!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
So you guys put everyone into a food coma, then take advantage of their tired states, sound strategy!
I love how you guys do poker nights!

Continuing a very solid streak in our cash game. I was definitely guilty of being the river rat last night.
And the whole crew was pumped for the hats that @JeepologyOffroad hooked me up with!

Maiden voyage for the card mold giraffes. The crew likes this more than my other sets!!! Go figure
My group is the same way. When I let them choose what we’re going to play with, 9 times out of 10 they’re picking a Bud Jones plastic set.
I’m going to have to not go with with they say or I may save a lot of money n the future

Not sure if it’s the card change or the cut card change but doing much better now. In for $600
Omg. Kk all in for about $500. I call with AA for a few dollars less. Guy behind who is down quite a bit tanks and eventually calls with 75dd.

First time as a Dealer in my Homegame. I wanted to learn how to deal and it went great. Also the first time we actually put Money on the table in this tournament.
We usually only play on my birthday for cups. Seems like it wasn't the last time. But next time I will definetly join the game as a player.

Nice table for only playing once a year for cups.

Even if we have only played once a year, it was always a pleasure for me to set that game up as profesional as I could. I hired a dealer, bought chips with my own design (cheap little plastic crap that will be replaced with better chips asap) and so on. Next on the list are chairs. Then better lightning in the bar as the bar isn't really used anymore except for my poker games. Then new chips or a better table. Even if the stakes are low and we're planing to meet once every two month, I just love to get this as profesional as I can.
Here's a picture of my last birthday.
