I love everything in these chips... inlay, color of mold and spots. One of the most beautiful custom set I saw.
I hope pick little CG one day.
Congratulations

Playing a little pot limit hold’em at my brother-in-law’s place on my custom ASM non-denom set. This set will soon be relabeled to a tourney set.
Edit: Sorry. Posted in the wrong place. I’ve had a little bit of Jameson.

My regular last Saturday of the month $1/$1 NLH game. In for $100 and cashed out for $413.
Played with an interesting lineup heads up today. We both just wanted to play with some chippies so a crazy (and awkward) set was in line.
1’s - minty fresh Grand Victoria secondaries
2’s - Aurora stars. Love the chocolate. Completely useless in a 2/5 game..but wait!
5’s - NO FIVES! Just trying something different. We figured it would make a 2/5 game more fun, you get to rake in a ton of chocolate Aurora Star goodness
25’s - minty grand Vic secondaries
100’s - Aurora Star hundos. We just really needed an oversized Paulson in the mix.
2/5, $1500 stacks. I’ll let you decide if we actually threw down $1500 or if we did 1/10 value
I’ll update w pics

My first losing cash session this month was last night at Orange City playing 1/2NL. I started strong and was up a little, then took this picture and the wheels immediately came off:
It was an evening of being insanely card dead, getting sucked out on a couple times, and valuetowning myself once when I backed into the nut straight against a flopped boat and overplayed my hand.
In spite of the bad cards, I mostly played well and managed some minor larceny here and there for the rest of the night. I think I won two pots with value hands in the last four hours of the session. Ended the night -200, which I'm actually pretty happy with considering.
About two hours into the session, an elderly gentleman sat to my right with a much younger woman who seemed to be a caretaker/aide of some sort. The guy thought he was at a blackjack table at first. He clearly didn't have a clue what we were playing, how or when to bet, and he held his cards up where I could easily see them every time he looked. A couple of times, I heard him quietly adding up the board cards, again as if he were playing blackjack.
The dealer had to prompt him and explain his options every action, so he slowed the game tremendously. Two players got frustrated after a few hands, racked up and changed tables.
I was a) trying hard not to look at his cards and b) trying not to get in a hand with him. Normally I don't feel bad about taking someone's money in a casino poker game, and I've seen my share of clueless newbie acts. But with this guy, it was no act - he clearly had no clue what was going on, he should not have been there, and I really didn't know what to do. I just wouldn't feel right taking a big pot from the guy.
Fortunately, a floor came over and asked him to step aside and have a chat. He refused. A moment later, one of the security guards came by and asked the same thing. The guard was friendly at first, but stopped smiling when the guy repeatedly refused to get up from the table. Finally the guard gave the guy a rack, made it clear that the old fella was going to cash out and leave, voluntarily or otherwise, and it finally seemed to sink in enough that the guy slowly racked up and left the table.
We all breathed a sigh of relief, and I went back to losing money again.

Good on you for not robbing the easy mark, especially when on a down night. Good karma coming your way... perfect timing with S@P this week.
Hopefully the care worker will make some sort of report to a social worker or family member who has financial POA, and either prevent or limit the gentleman from visiting casinos. If your description is accurate, it is clear that he is cognitively impaired/demented, and would be a prime target for scammers, thieves, and the unscrupulous.
Sounds like the care worker/daughter didn’t give too many fux and unfortunately about 20% of slot machine players are pretty close to this too. Just glad their social security benefits that we’re paying into and many of us will never see are going to a good cause

Weather the younger woman was a caregiver or not, it would seem obvious that this is clearly not a place for them to be. God forbid any of us get to this point in our lives.
Yeah, it hits home a bit for me too. My father-in-law has mid-stage Alzheimer's. Significant short term memory loss, forgetting how to do some things, but still pretty good in the long term department.
From the little bit of conversation I heard with his caretaker, it sounded like they both thought the poker room was more of a full blown casino (and were thus expecting blackjack). She tried to explain to him what was going on, and she tried to help him in a couple hands, but she wasn't assertive enough to convince him to leave when he should have.
FWIW, the guy walked away about +100. When he played, he was open raising to 25. After losing his first 100, he rebought for 200 more and got it in with AK vs QQ on a raggy rainbow flop. An ace hit the river, and he left a couple hands after that.

I'm 100% convinced he got it in with AK because he thought he had a blackjack.

You still forgot
Pics or it didn’t happen
I don't usually take pics of my stacks, but here is one from the 5/10 mixed game on July 22. Looks like it was on the way to a +$728 night. Poker Ledger wants to reference all games by sblind/bblind, but I prefer to reference limit games by the betting structure.Pics or it didn’t happen
My goodness. What the hell are those? Looks like CCs falling apart.
Were they playing tittly wings with them?
I'm pretty sure they're Icons, used by my local room. They feel as terrible as they look: hard, brittle, slippery plastic with tons of spinners.

Back at the 10-20 grind. Started with 5k ended with 14ish. A gentleman sat down with 10k and was basically playing blind the whole night and gambling it up. Great table and so much fun/gamble haha.
Holy shitballs
