Holy cow! I remember those chips! It's been awhile since I've seen those. Almost bought some a long time ago.

From Wynn daily tourney a few weeks ago. They were using the chips from the Wynn Classic. The Inserts/edge spots are a little boring but I love the colors of the 1k and 5k.

Had a two table tourney at my place last night for the first time in a *long* time, came out on top after grinding away card dead for 3 hours:
Then tripled up in the post tourney .25/.50 cash game. Good evening of poker.

What is the buyin for the .25/.50 game?
Buyins ranged from $40 to $60. I bought in for $40 cashed for almost $120 (I think I was around $100 in this pic).

Massive chipleader 5-handed.
The absolute best home game in my area shut down about 3 years ago due to the host having a baby and going on an epic downswing. I think his wife was twisting his arm to shut it down. Too bad. I went 51 for 51 sessions in that game and then lost $500ish each of the last two games. 51 for 53 ain't bad, but damn I hated breaking my streak.
However, he started his game back up again last Friday. Now he's running $1/3 NL (no more PLO booooo). I wasn't able to make it last week, but did go last night and after getting coolered for my first buyin in the first round and dropping down to $100 on my second, I thought the magic was gone. Then Jesus Christ himself reached down and inserted a horseshoe up my butt and I went on a heater to pick up something like 25% of the chips in play. So $600 in (capped $300 buy-ins until host gets stuck and agrees to big rebuys) and I ended up cashing out $1795.
These are his new "top quality" chips. I actually don't hate them, but I REALLY hate using blue $50 chips. Blech.

Not that far off actually since I had PNY primary and secondary $25s and $100s which I had brought for the host as new poker room-warming present. Guy is a big Yankees fan and has NYC memorabilia up around the room, so I thought he would dig them.
I also gave him one of emptypoc's "Call this!" chips in an airtite and he just about shit himself when I explained to him the cost of custom clays. Needless to say, he felt like quite the deal-finder when he explained how much he paid for his set (priced here at $79.95 for 500 chips at Discount Poker Shop). "You can feel the quality when you shuffle them. Nice and heavy." Of course I had nothing but compliments for the set, which honestly is a step up from his old chips.

First legal poker tournament ever in Norway. Sattelite to main event later this fall. (A friend's photo, as I decided to buy directly in to be able to choose starting day of main event.)

Nice! Rare is the profitable first run on a new set.
Not mine but Todd Brunson posts starting and ending stacks on twitter. He hasn't said what the values are but only cares that he gets "paid in $100 bills" and he leaves a game once he is up 1k. The best I can figure is the Pharoahs are $25, blue starbursts are $10 and the peach starburst are $5. Gives me new appreciation for mixed sets and non-denoms.
My luckbox streak continued at the Friday night $1/3 NL game. One memorable hand illustrating my luckbox tendencies:
I raise to $11 MP with A2dd, get three callers incl host on button who has been running like dogshit. He has about $400 and I have him covered.
Flop ($37): AcAs5s
Check to me, I bet $25, one caller, host on button.
Turn ($87): 7s
I take a second and the host bets $45 out of turn. I think it's an angle and I check and he checks behind. I ask what the house rule is on out of turn action and he says he can check. I don't think his original bet was an angle, but I think he's clearly rule angling as the host here, but whatever, he's stuck a grand in the game, so I don't argue.
River ($87): 2c
I bet $55 he insta makes it $155. I think for a second and move in and he snap calls with AK with the K of spades.
$700 buy-in, cashout $2070. This was my stack not too long before the game broke, but I stayed and played HU with the host and he blew through another two $200 buy-ins. He only quit because the dealer had to go and neither of us wanted to self-deal HU. I'm starting to worry that this game isn't going to last and will get called off again by his wife if he has another minus $2k session.
