1/3 at Venetian. Up a buy-in.
I like them too. Bought in for $150.I don't really know why, but I love those 5s.
They run 1/3 at Venetian now? Looks like about 300 in front, did you buy in for 0?
Nasty loooking chips.Undid a little of last weekend's damage tonight at Orange City 1/2. In for 200, out for 540, and this in spite of losing several pots where I got most/all of the money in as a favorite. I had a great table and could easily have walked away with a few hundred more if Lady Luck had been a bit kinder, but a win is a win.

Yeah, they're crappy ugly plastic, and there are so many spinners that you can barely stack 25 high. You can also see how chewed up the edges are - they don't wear smoothly like Paulsons.Nasty loooking chips.

I am missing the tables since I haven’t played much lately, so I will post this one from a while back. Sad that Snoqualmie Casino closed their poker room. It use to be so soft with a lot of easy Tech money. Regularly could turn a $300 buy-in into $1k or $2k. They turned the poker room into a High Roller table games area, and there was a lawsuit because they kept the player bonus from the poker room.
Even when you're up a little, it doesn't change the fact that these slippery chips just suck.

What makes it worse is the 2" by the rail that slopes so you have to keep you stack in the middle of thr table. Chips are awful to play with though.
I did like the rake structure however at the bigger games. Very cheap compared to what I'm used to.
And so he did! Couple players from a broken 5/10 game brought some color up to his table. Out for $730.Buddy of mine just sitting to Horseshoe Baltimore. I'm not there, but he knows I gotta have some chip pics Already up $100 in the first orbit after this buyin pic. Hoping his next one has some quarters and hundreds for me to check out!

it seems to be the kiss of death for me......I take a picture and then my stack disappears.......hmmmm may be I should just quit taking pics of my starting stacksSo I feel the need to pose a question directly relating to this specific thread.
And although I've done it a handful of times, I just feel REALLY awkward about it..
Specific to casino tables, as I've certainly no issues with it at a home game..
Does anyone else feel like it's kinda pretentious to take pics of stacks while at the table? Kinda feels like your putting a nice "this guy must think he's something special" target on your head... Or maybe I'm making it into a bigger deal than it really is?
Same here, and I usually try to be very subtle about it. I'm on my phone a lot in the casino anyway (taking hand notes, texting), and I always have it muted and the flash off, so most times I doubt anyone notices.I usually try to wait until the end to take the pic.
nice! double ups or just straight grinding?
Got in a big hand and doubled up. Been grinding until then.nice! double ups or just straight grinding?
