Game 2 of the young season for our league. Didn’t get many photos as I was trying to stay locked in. 14 runners, 5 rebuys, 10 add-ons. Finished in 2nd.

Using the travel set for a friends tournament that I just found out I am running. Works for me, great venue and will work for a 4 table Crazy Xmas game.

Who needs a dedicated poker room when you have friends garages and shops.
That's really nice! The wife and I are shopping now for our forever home, and my one biggest requirement is that there be a detached workshop/extra garage or space to put one up. No more tiny suburban lots with next door neighbors under my elbow. Half acre+ if possible.

That was one of the requirements when we bought our house. The ability to bounce a tennis ball off the wall without it hitting the neighbor's house.

Mission accomplished. :cool

I just wish I had discovered poker before we bought. A dedicated poker room would be the bomb.

So you have some elbow room, but not enough to build or add on?

In for $26 (because that's 3 barrels of chips). :cool
2 hours, a bottle of wine, and a couple martinis later...
...out for $26. The toughest decision is, is this home games thread material, or WTF thread?
That's a few hours of fun completely free by my calculations. Not the worst deal nowadays

Ben the next time those Navy boys give you any trouble just tell em to get back on their rusty boats & go do some figure 8s in the middle of the Pacific

Correct.... huge trees towards the front, road to north side, septic tank towards the back, neighbor/fence to the south. Thought about going up, but some idiot built the attic 24" on center. That said, I have no complaints. Almost 3 acres of land, a great deck, and a lovely view!
 
Action shot from this weekend in Panama. Again.. dice chips :( I didn’t bring my BCC Capital Rooms with me here. But good news set incoming this week. Fingers crossed I get them before next weekend.

It does amaze me how people don’t seem to care about chips, cards, table etc

The guy who bought the dice chips was insistent on using different denominations than is standard (50c, $1, $5, $10) and also using different colors than what might be familiar. Ie: 50c blue, $1 black, $5 green, $10 red. Not to mention the dirty stack issues between the dark blue and black that are nearly indistinguishable. Lastly, he wanted to use paper cards and then complained when they were bowing and wanted people to peek different . I bit my tongue and enjoyed the game . But I promised to upgrade the chips and cards and reminded myself they will be here soon .

How do you guys handle this? Always make sure to host your own game and run a tight ship ?

So this was a game you hosted? But, someone else bought some chips because your good ones haven't arrived yet but also wanted to complain about trivial crap like how you peek at your cards? Then also wanted to use weird colors and demons that don't make sense? To be honest, it kinda sounds like that dude doesn't receive an invite to the next (or next few) games. I don't know what your relationship with him is though.

At my games that I host, I post a "House Rules" for everyone to see. Rule#1 This is my house, what I say goes. Please do not argue with me.
So far, when I say something is a certain way or whatever, I have had zero arguments. Maybe something to consider?
 
7 players isn't short handed. Its the perfect table size. Even if its NLHE.
Disagree. 6 or 7 handed is fine for mixed games or even PLO variants. But there isn't enough variance in NLHE. There needs to be more hands in play to make any real money. I mean, unless you raise J9 pre and flat a 3bet, then flop top 2 and get it all in on the turn against QQ who doesn't improve...

lol.............I get what your saying. I don't like full tables. Doesn't matter what games are being played. The more players at the table. The tighter that I feel like I have to play. I hate that. What is your ideal NLHE size table?
