Cashing out after an evening of $1/$2 NLHE, 9 handed.

Hero went on a roll at the end, felting three players. Out with $1950.

As an aside, 61 degrees outside. Second night of unusually warm weather. (20 degrees above the average low for time of year.)
One degree cooler shortly after midnight yesterday.

What's up with the ceramics? Run out of chips?

This home game predates Hero by five decades. Dave, the host, began playing cards at Elton's when he turned 18 in 83. They played $5/$10 limit twice a week, two orbits of Hold-em followed by one orbit of 7CS. By all accounts, Elton was quite the host and had his own brand of humor, which helps explain the large line of players hoping for an invite. He would rotate players from the list, extending invites more frequently to players he liked. The six to eight core players who earned the right to have a regular seat at his games became members of a close knit fraternity. Together the group as a part or a whole would go on poker trips to various casinos. Mementos in the form of poker chips from those adventures would find their way onto the table.

Elton passed away in 2008. The table in the pictures belonged to Elton. Like King Arthur's round table, it has a fabled history, which David and a few others are keeping alive.
