This past Saturday was our final event, the Zombie Poker Classic! We ended up with 19 players after 2 cancels.

This was our 15th year and we maintain a tradition of prime rib main. This year, it was salted and put in the fridge for 2 days, then sous vide for 24 hours, and then followed with a 1-1/2 hour smoke. It was wonderful! Sides included: mac and cheese, baked potatoes (with all the fixings), spicy Brussel sprouts, corn pudding, corn bread, rice with broccoli, tamales, cheese/meat/crackers, chip and dip

Desserts included chocolate chip cookies, red velvet cake cookies, chocolate peanut butter cake cookies, brownies, and home-made Boston crème pie!View attachment 1227805

With 19, we started at 3 tables; as a freeze-out, we went down to 2 once we lost our first player.

Once there were 3 players out, the cash game ($0.25/$0.25) started. It built up over time to 2 tables and halted when we got to the final 3 players in the main event. Mostly NLHE was played in the cash game, but Omaha did make an appearance (and was new to several players). One weird NL hand had a couple people to the flop of 2K2, with betting down to 2 players. The turn was another K. The river was another 2. I wasn't in the hand, but expected either this to be flush over flush (with one having a K) or them to both have the K thinking the other does not. Instead, one player had the case 2!

As chemo is doing it's job and I'm low on hair, I dressed up as Kublai (our zombie) in "girl" mode with a wig! I didn't know when I ordered the wig it would match my Dammit Doll! LOL

What software do you use for the tournament clock?

We use Tournament Director. I try to make cool graphics for each tournament for our clock. I always hate when casinos use the most boring and outdated looking software for their TD screen. I have found an easier way to make things look cool without having to edit code in TD.

I basically made a background template that has our logo and tournament title and I just change that each time. Then I can keep the cells with moving parts the same each time. I just load a new bg image into TD for each tournament.

Kinda like this...

Or this one.

I just edit the photos mostly on my phone and each part of the photo is a layer. I can keep the fonts in place and swap out the BG image each time. Then if I want I can edit the font or our logo or anything else I want to add. And it looks pretty different each time to most players that don't realize I am just swapping the backgrounds each time.

That's fantastic. I love how TD is open to that kind of customization!

Looks great! Any reason you haven't ditched the '$' since you're playing a tournament and it doesn't apply (pet peeve of mine).

That may be the greatest reason to spend the money on TD.

Mixed games are gaining traction with most of my players! Last night comments from players first experiencing it were "hold'em is too easy" and "is it razz yet?"

I was expecting a loss giving my sun run last game with +40 big bets. My stack didn't move much...+3 big bets at the end of the night.

What chips are these? Customs clearly, but which ones from where?

You don't have to spend money on it. Pretty sure I have at least 1 additional license.

I appreciate you bringing that to my attention. I honestly never noticed that. And I think that I will never look at it the same. It must have came that way from the standard settings of TD maybe. I will attempt to get rid of them from now until eternity for all future tournaments!

These are CPC CSQ/Circle Square/Square in Circle mold chips.

Thanks, the Jasons and Mark in your crew should each have a chip laying around somewhere!

Also this makes me feel like...I really need to get better at taking pictures

Do you run tournament director on a laptop or tablet? And how do you display it on the TV?

Computer. It is a windows app

 

[MrBoosh]

Do you run tournament director on a laptop or tablet? And how do you display it on the TV?

Yes, it is a PC based app. I run it on my laptop and connect it to my TV with a hdmi cable. We actually use a hdmi splitter so we can connect to multiple displays depending on who is hosting and how many TV's they have available. You could also wirelessly connect if you have a smart TV.

Let’s have a little bit of fun!

Has anyone called the number on those Starlight chips? Does Jenny answer?

 

[Okku]

Played for about an hour or so. Was able to run it up a bit after Luke got knocked out and then it was me against Bobby. Ended up having some good hands but I wasn’t able to take it down. Bobby took it down for the W this time. Both of them enjoyed playing with the new chips and I definitely did too! They just don’t make them like they used to!

Stunning lineup. Absolutely LOVE these chips. Hope I get to play a game with them sometime. Hard to pick out a favorite, but that $5 is pure fire!!! And the $1 too! OK, they're all fire!!!

What's that like 5k? Woooooo!!!!!

 

[rjbf65]

Little mixed game action 7 handed. Orbits of Hold’em, 7 card stud, crazy pineapple, Omaha, 3 hand Hold’em, and 2-7 Triple Draw. In for $40, out for $74.

The players love the Bellagio’s!

 

[iLogik]

Great game tonight with a couple chippers. Thanks @Joe Harris and @TX_Golf_N_Poker for making the game respectable.

Are those the pink stained? Dope!

 

[RagingAZN]

Just finished our fortnightly cash game. 17 players to start.

NLHE, 50c/50c (but probably plays closer to a $1/$2 game).

Was tough going at the start but managed to book a good win with my new card protector. BA-CAWK!

One of the boys ran like the Sun God Ra himself and turned $200 into $1400!
