The host Dave, waxed nostalgic tonight. He was 20 years old when he joined Elton's weekly card game in 1985, now his youngest son is going off to college.
Elton passed in 2008. Dave picked up the reigns in 2010 when Elton's son, after a heart to heart talk, agreed to let him have his father's poker table so his father's game and all of the shared memories could live on.
$1/$2 NLHE.
Good night for Hero.
Last hand of the evening. Double board bomb pot.

EOWednesday at @ChaosRock's. We started a bit shorter than normal (7 players), so we bumped the starting stacks to include a cranberry.
Ran good until I didn't. Busted out a player on the last hand before the break (end of rebuy period)
...but ended up being the 2nd one out. Still 2nd in overall standings with just 2 events to go!

How were the cards? Similar? Preferred?
Cool table topper. I’m assuming it is custom. What is the size and where did you get it?
Cool table!
Thanks for hosting.

Awesome setup. What size dealer button is that btw?! 65 mm or 80mm? I’m about to get an 80mm in a group buy and not sure if it will be ridiculously large in comparison to everything else on table. lol.

Sweet Paris chips! Did you get those in a group buy here on PCF?!Pretty violent .5/1E tonight, with half of the crew (the "guest" crew) being well-read poker fanatics, who, among them, play 1/2E, so it indeed played like at least moderate 1/2.
In my house, I won't allow straddles, but 4BB (4 Euro at the official stakes) initial raises just don't get any respect.
My old friends just can't keep up with that level of skill and stakes, and I 'll never repeat the mistake of mixing them with the "sharks".
The issue is that old friends aren't very reliable poker-wise, whereas the hard-core guest crew is dying to play anytime.
@Eriks the spell has been erased! First win with the Paris set! In for 180E, out for 520E!

i just got an 80mm in last night. pretty fn big lol. but manageable on the table i think. i have a picture but its more of a fun pic and its hard to gauge when its so close and the deck is in the back. i can take another with other objects for size comparison if you want. That Paris looks like an 80mm but i could be wrong

Looks awesome, oh that would be great if you don't mind, but no rush, when you get the chance. I'm ordering an 80mm Mirage along with Mirage chips in group buy in my first ever upgrade from OG Costco dice chips
. Debating if 80mm was comically large or not, and should go 65mm instead! lol. thanks!demonnic

So here's a picture with an 80mm acrylic db, 65mm ceramic db, some 39mm Tina web mold chips and some broken arrow poker sized cards. I don't think it's particularly unwieldy in context myself.Looks awesome, oh that would be great if you don't mind, but no rush, when you get the chance.

looks awesome! Is that the new Costco Barrington table? and an 80mm DB from Justin group buys right?! looks great!
yes to both
I believe that one is 80mm. I can check when I get home.

Sweet! Have you been able to fit 10 comfortably on the table yet, or haven't had a game on the new felt? Honestly, I play with ten on a smaller dining room table, so I think should work perfectly for my crew. I bought the table before sold out at my Costco, but will be showing restraint and not opening up until Christmas like a child. lol. Something to look forward to!

In response to my own comment, the 80mm DB does look comically large, but that's what makes it amazing! lol. I am definitely ordering mine! haha.
Oh I think I read that post the other day. I don't have that kind of discipline. And actually I haven't been able to run a full game yet. Its setup in my office right now cause I havent created enough space around the house yet. I think 8 would fit pretty comfortable. 10 you'd have to mind your space the whole time. Only 18" of space between the cupholders.
I think so too considering the content on my particular DB so I'm good with it. Otherwise I'd probably go with the 65mm.

haha totally! STFU and deal! I am going full Mirage, but at least maybe it will motivate everyone to actually take the damn dealer button and and post your damn blinds. Yah, I think it should fit 10 in my case given we have been playing around my oval 72inx54in table just fine. Beggers can't be choosers. My buddies will be floored by my Casino-grade upgrades come January. lol, new table, new chips and DB! I just joined PCF August 14th and am already going ham! yikes
. God bless my forgiving and loving wife. haha.
Glad it’s going to a good home.

SO how do you like the new Costco Barrington table so far, even though haven't put it into play yet?
