I have 600 chips from PokerRoom (Chipco chips) from back in the day when online poker was in its heyday and PokerRoom.com was still up and running.

I’ve only used them 3-4 times, so they are like new condition. With that said, I was wondering what the sale value of these chips would be (and if there is anybody on PCF who would be interested in them). I have not seen them available for sale (chip forums, eBay or elsewhere), so I presume they are fairly rare. I was thinking $250 to $300 for the set of 600. Obviously I’m open to offers. Please reply here or PM if you are interested.

The breakdown of the chips is as follows:

200 - White

150 - Red

200 - Green

50 – Black

Not sure what they're worth. Your asking price is about right but be prepared to accept less. I have very fond memories of that site. Was sad to see them go. A few months ago I searched eBay for any hats or t-shirts as I'm very nostalgic. GLWS!
 
I have plastic poker room cards and a T-shirt.
It was great and was my go to site/network and I usually did well there.
 
I probably have some Poker Room cards lying around as well if that would sway and potential buyers ;-)
 
I had my biggest winning online session at poker room. This is pretty impressive since I played during the party poker heyday.

I'm not nostalgic though. GLWS.
 
I have a poker room polo, a t-shirt, a setup of Fournier's and a metal dealer button. I always tried to sit in the 6 seat - the lady in the red dress.
 
Great website, these were one of the first sets of chips I had, almost 10 years ago gave me 500 chips to win a tournament, also 12 decks Fournier 2800 with greenbacks was in Germany I remember that after the closing of the web the decks were sold very cheap on eBay GLWS!
 
Man, brings back memories.

Didn't Negreanu have a skin of that site too? Poker Mountain I believe...
 
Who were the forum regulars? Anybody remember rodeoclown? If anybody would say they're afraid of clowns he would get mad and say I'm not really a clown!

Think Negreanu's skin was Full Contact Poker if I recall correctly

Correct.

There were many skins to the On Game Network, I used to bounce around to whoever had the best bonus then move on.

On Game Network Skins:
Poker Room
Hollywood Poker
Holdem Poker
Full Contact Poker
Pokes Poker
Poker Loco
America's Card Room
 
They had the weirdest NL rules. Min bets followed a limit structure.

What they called 5/10NL had blinds of 2.50/5, preflop and flop had min bet of 5, turn/river had min bet of 10.
 
I never heard of poker mountain until this thread, and I played a lot of online poker, including propping for some small obscure sites.
 
Yeah, that write up in the link above was not very flattering. I can't imagine how high my earn rate would have to be to make that site worthwhile.
 
I used to play PokerRoom all day at work while on conference calls against super loose European players... ah, the good old days.
 
In 2006, I was unemployed for about 6 weeks. I took a break from job hunting every day at 10:30 a.m. to jump into a $5 tourney on PokerRoom. The first week I played, I won the tournament on back-to-back days, winning about $450 in each tourney. Thankfully I was smart enough to realize what a luckbox I was and cashed out $700 of it immediately instead of thinking "Hey, I could be a professional poker player."

In 2006 you were smart enough to be a cash game online pro for sure.

My game is VASTLY improved since that time, and I'm confident I could beat the 2006 era games if I could go back and play knowing what I know now, but I doubt I could have been a winning cash game player at the time. I was pretty terrible.

During one of those final tables, I actually made the worst online poker faux pas I've ever made. After raising UTG or UTG +1 with AQ, I was 3 bet by a late position player, and someone after him jammed for what would have been like 80% of my stack. I tanked and wrote in the chat box (this is back when chat wasn't blocked when a player was all in), "Just don't think I can call w/AQ here" and eventually folded. The player who had 3-bet typed in "Well, I can" and called, turning over AQ. The guy who jammed showed pocket 10s, and was none too pleased when an ace came on the flop. "I can't believe you called even after he said he was folding AQ" the guy said, whining about his bad beat. That was the moment I realized how inappropriate it was to reveal what I was holding (my game wasn't nearly sophisticated enough to lie about my holdings), because there's no way that guy should have called if he knew/believed that I actually was folding AQ. I guess it didn't affect his decision in the end, but regardless, it was a real lesson for me.

None the less, if you put in the hours back then you'd've gotten there quickly. Nothing before or since was as soft as party poker era games online.
