For some reason Tapatalk crashed every time I try to edit a post now.

Posting links to better quality versions of the pics

Tapatalk sucks. Love those chips.

IDPL game 7. A regular gave me a Rob Stark card guard which must not have been very lucky.

You need a Tyrion card guard for any luck. Rob Stark proved to be quite unlucky.

I'm always amazed at your setup, Tree! And those new secondary tables are ridiculous!!!

Thanks! It's the people that make the game though, and I feel very fortunate with my cast of regulars.

People make the game for sure. Seeing The Hitching Post meet up pics make me wish even more I could move back home. Hopefully down the road I'll be able to make somewhat of a PCF summer tour if the opportunity ever arises...

Imagine a month long PCF extravaganza. Four weekends, four different cities, and 4 main events. Now that would be a repatriation summer visit to look forward to!!

I always love seeing new pictures from The Hitching Post, Tom. Your poker room gives me hope that one day I'll have one half as nice as yours.

Personally, I'd be happy with a poker room half as nice as his overflow room.

 

[Mr Tree]

Thanks for the kind words guys. That's why I'm stoked for S@P, the room is as useless as tits on a bull unless you share it!

If/when you move back stateside, what part of the country do you call home?

Well it's Phoenix/Denver for now. I have a high schooler in Pennsylvania. We are listing our home in Morrison, CO but we will likely look to buy in again in a couple of years. The house I have now would require too much of a remodel to fit our retirement needs. If my kids go to college on the East Coast well...Our parents all live in Phoenix Metro. I'm stateside for good in about 4 years.

If I behave myself and the timing is right, I could fly anywhere in the US for the right event with the Mrs. in tow. I'd sure like to host one of these down the road as well.

Soo Awesome, congrats on a great poker room.....

Attend one before trying to host! I was at DCS in 2013 with a notepad in hand lol. It's basically chaos so you want an idea on what to expect before running one. Courage will probably send me a bill for consulting fees before April.

It's been a LONG road but my chip cases are finally nearing completion. Tops engraved today

 

[stocky]

Wow very nice.

 

[slisk250]

Very nice. Are you going to stain them, building yourself? If not who is doing this?

 

[Mr Tree]

I am NOT handy. [emoji1] they are being done by Eric at Big Slik poker tables. Going with a natural stain. He still has to do the mortise and hinges and blocks for the trays then stain. The handles are going to be horseshoes as well:

Sorry it took me so long to post. I had to get back in my chair first...
