Last weeks 1/3 NLHE (w circus games) at the Philagio. @ChipTalker broke out the Paradice set to switch things up.

Whoa! easy! maybe google translate messed up?
Haha, I hate PLO and the only reason I sometimes allow it is the presence of a good friend and valuable player (bringing good players and nice people), who likes it.
In his abscence that night, there was no PLO, so I was able to eventually keep my 840BB winnings :) :)
 
Strange night, $/1$2 NLHE . Five winners, five losers.

Hero was in for $460, out with $820.

Larry hit a set of eight's last hand of the night and got paid by pocket queens. He finished up three hundred.

The player with pocket queens finished up $350. The host $490. Tonight's big winner (and last week's big winner) finished up $600.
 
Played in a 10/20 home game the other day with denoms:

10. 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000.

You'd think the 20s would be useless, but they were in fact sorely needed because the total numbers of 10s were 25. Yeah. 25x 10 chips for a full table. I believe there were 25x 20s as well. Add the fact that the chips were super similar in color and bad lighting in the rom, and it was confusing as hell in the beginning. The whole table were a bit annoyed by the numbers of denoms, wierd denoms and similar colors and there were multiple small mistakes made early on. You can imagine our shock when the host came to the table after an hour or two, asking for some of the small chips. He needed both 10s, 20s and 50s to open another cash table! Lol. The dealer and all the players were like: "yeah that's not really gonna work, we have so few already." And the host reply was pretty priceless: "what do you mean?? There's 25 of the 10s!" (Suggesting that should be more than enough for two tables) He did end up taking about 10x 10s and 10x 20s and a decent number of 50s from the table though, and I guess he was right - it did work to some degree.

Anyways, play went on for multiple hours, no huge issues. Goes to show that less efficient breakdowns also technically work although far from ideally and there will be a decent amount of changemaking. A dedicated dealer definitely made it a way better than if we didnt have one. It was a splashy game as well, and straddles to 50, 100 and 200 were very common. We played PLO and pot bets were rounded to closest 50. Essentially bets were made 90% of the time using only 100s and/or 500s, which were both plentiful om the table. I ended up booking a 10k win (1k usd) so that was nice! Forgot to take a picture though.

Had 26 players for my tournament last night. Finally got my PCF matt into play after a few years.

Unfortunately my stack only went one direction.

Then I lost a bunch in cash. My favorite moment was when my opponent told me to fold as he had quad As. I didn't believe him... he had quad aces.
 
Last night's game with Club 72 members almost didn't happen. 2 sick players and another player was 2 hours late due to traffic.

Great to catch up with old friends, and to have my draws hit :) In for 100 out for 127.

Gorgeous chips my friend, those are perfection. PLUS I love how you made limit approachable; I've been thinking about offering that to my players but was worried they'd get tripped up on the lingo. That's a good way to do it and I am learning, thanks.
