Those chips are awesome, look even better in live stacks

 

[AfterTheFact]

Up $312 on a .50/$1 Terribles game last night.

Played in a new home game tonight. 5/5 spread limit hold'em, Omaha, and O8. Max bet was $100 in hold'em, $75 in O8, and $50 in Omaha.

Nice room and table, but slugged chips and paper cards. Good action though - between 4-5K on table. Cashed out a small winner and, more importantly, got an invite back

A few from tonight's home game. Thanks Forrest for bringing the Vineyards!

 

[bivey]

Gotta love vineyards

 

[bivey]

Haha. I do this as well.

Late to conversation, but I must say, we all share the same disease.

Got the Binion Horseshoes into action for the first time last night. .25/.50 NLHE with some .10/.10 PLO to kick the night off.

Setting up $100 starting stacks

Just some general action.

Just a random pot

@chipjoker killed it last night... Maybe it was the oversized level 11 CPC chip he was using as a card guard.

Next game will see the Trops in action.

That $1.00 chip is hawt!!!!

I commented as we were playing that this one is sticking around for a looooooong time.

I've said the same thing. Then sold them 6 months later

GREAT CHIPS!!!!! Just curious....... I have a similar set and they are so cool.....what condition are your $1's and $5's? I have 2 racks of singles and they vary from wafers to excellent condition.

My fives are more worn than the ones. Generally the horseshu mold chips are in better condition than the H&C. Some of the H&C $5 are almost smooth... Barely see the hat.

Going back to the 5/5 PLO/O8/NLH game tonight for the second time. They were playing with fairly old paper cards last game. Would it be considered too forward to bring a new set up of plastic cards to donate to the game ?

No. Call it a gift to the host and tell him/her that they last a lot longer than paper cards and won't need to be replaced as much.

Only if you rip up their old cards and spit on them. Generally, I've found people to stick with things they're comfortable with even when they're inferior products. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't use them right away..and I wouldn't insist that they do. But, if you leave them with your host I bet they'll find their way into the rotation eventually.

Unfortunately, I haven't met a single "paper card" person, who didn't complain about the cards being too slippery when I've introduced a nice setup into the game... Anytime the cards slip, and get away from them, they roll their eyes and say "see?"

Those are the same people who complain about Paulsons because they aren't "official casino weight" because they don't have metal slugs inside

And they can't spin the chips, either.

Good game again last night - lots of action. They were actually fine with plastic cards, but preferred jumbo index. I will try a different setup next time.

I drank that shit when it was all I could afford and I embraced the "quantity over quality" philosophy. Fuck that.

I've recently have gotten into a few of the IPA's. I like Bell's Two Hearted Ale, Goose Island Endless IPA, or even Sam Adams Rebel IPA. Don't get me wrong. I won't turn down a solid Pale Ale either (just not into wheat beers, but again, I won't turn down a good one).

Actually, my preferred drink is Don Julio "Anejo". That just doesn't fit my budget to drink on a regular basis (or even semi regular basis, lol).

Ever drink any Great Lakes???? If not I highly recommend trying Christmas Ale, Dortmunder, Burning river, or basically any beer that they make lol

I don't like the Christmas beers. I don't like the spices used in them. Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald is a favorite of mine. I also like Commodore, Blackout stout (tough to find that one).

That is baller status with the bar, shuffleboard and two tables.

 

[detroitdad]

@shawn15p , that is a really nice set up. I might have to make a road trip down to play in a game one weekend. Extra couch? Wifey and kids will be driving through on their way to PA next week.

The couch you see in the background is the extra couch lol, and i got a blow up mattress. I am just starting to get games more often, as most of my friends are just casual players.

Sorry if my chips are not up to everyones standards on here lol

nothing wrong with CPS chips. Is your cash set CPS as well?

@shawn15p Both nice chip setups, and an even more impressive table/game room.

Very nice start. (y) :thumbsup:

Thanks man, getting rid of that crappy table top in the background and have a much nicer one on the way that should be here next week. I would love to host a big meet up in the future, so I am stalking all of you guys to see how its done.
