That happens to me even when I'm not hosting! Very common with everything going on to forget to snap pics! The basement isn't going anywhere! Plenty of time for that! Just happy to hear everything went well!!

It was a very successful night when a lot of my beer supply was consumed (I don’t really drink beer but usually have a big selection that will just sit in my bar fridge), and the pound of strawberries I cut for the drink special disappeared pretty fast. I try to have 1 or 2 featured drinks instead of just random crap. Last night, the 2 were a Strawberry Gin Fizz, and a drink I stole the recipe from a speakeasy out in Philadelphia called the Henry Box Brown. It literally is fresh squeezed red grape juice and 15yr El Dorado rum. Personally, it’s my favorite drink.

That does sound delicious, mostly a beer drinker myself but been on a diet since late August. I have had half a beer 3 different times and 1 Oliver Brewing Company (local brewery) when we joined a fellow PCFer for dinner not long ago.
I need to come up with a good low call Margarita for an upcoming event... or just say screw it and accept the vacation weight!
Red grape juice or grape fruit juice? I prefer tequila but enjoy a good rum drink. Or collection isn't that of yours
Nothing really rare, more about drinkable and not worry about the value. I was stoked to finally find my full bottle of 151, I bought that one about 15 years ago and never got into it... I didn't even know they quit making it in 2016. Unfortunately it has been opened so value is shot but still cool to have!
But if you haven't herd of it I recently found out they are still making rum! Try to get one of these!!
Damn huh. Imagine spending over $5,000 in chairs and, as host, you have to sit on a plastic folding chair. LOL. Thats too bad but I get it.
BTW I showed my wife the Dug Out and those chairs (I REALLY want those). She slapped me in the face when I asked if she wouldn’t mind me buying 9. LOL. I showed her that you had 14 and I wasn’t as crazy as you but it didn’t work.

Love the shot showing both tables in the same room! I thought maybe the oval was in a smaller room and now I see the layout! Everything looks amazing, but man those 2 TVs side by side and not the same size would tilt me a bit!! What a man cave brother!!

Thank you.
The TV’s are different sizes because both would not have enough room to swing out And the two walls are different sizes.

Plenty of room under that left TV for a nice chip display cabinet as the collection grows also!

My ultimate project is to have a couple slot machines I own to get refurbished and converted to tokens. Maybe in the next year.
Bacardi stopped making 151!?? Nooooo! Classic college get-your-ass-kicked liquor!
Tell me more about this Uno game! I love Uno...used to run Uno tournaments in college, LOL.

Apparently it has been gone a few years now. I also have Cruzan 151... I heard they made them back it off to 149 proof! Lol but apparently there were medical issues and deaths from drinking 151 and they were going after the Rum companies so they quit making it all together. Just sad man, yes late high school and early 20s that was the go to for getting it in! LolBacardi stopped making 151!?? Nooooo! Classic college get-your-ass-kicked liquor!

On uno I have been buying dice in matching sticks of 5 hoping to get a yahtzee game going when waiting for players to arrive!
Our last home game we did a 6 player turbo (5 minute rounds 1/2, 2/4, 5/10, 10/20, 25/50, 50/100) SS of T500 like a satalite where every one throws in 1/6 of the buy in for the tourney. 30 minutes it is over (chip up while playing)... kind of a warm up and better than flipping for $20 like many games! It was a lot of fun! Something to think about!

Such a sick, sick, sick setup. Bravo. Have fun with your home games, don’t let people butt their way into your business!

Actually, I was tending bar during this epic uno game, and I don’t even know how to play uno. I need to learn, and then learn how to play for money.Bacardi stopped making 151!?? Nooooo! Classic college get-your-ass-kicked liquor!

I'm actually having a custom cabinet made from @alecnetwoodworks. I am planning on putting it in the corner where the oval table is.

Just bought a 500 chip Rounders replica set from CPC.

Which mold buddy? Please say CSQ! Lol no matter what it is your first set with inlays and denoms correct? Congratulations! Hoping cash because I don't think 500 chips would cover your 16 person tourney games.

Scroll
I currently have 2 sets ordered with custom inlays (B-Diamond Cash set and Large Crown tourney set), plus my blank cash and tourney sets.
CSQ $1 is out of stock until at least April.
I figured I may build another set down the road with CSQ so that’s why I went with the Scroll.

I thought the very first thing when I saw them. I actually thought they were for Disney Cruise Line but then realized that isn’t possible, because the Disney boats don’t have casinos.Took first place out of 12 man tourney Saturday night
Nice job on the win.

Oiled and drying.
Compared to my other sets, these had a ton more clay dust on them and took more oil (much to my surprise).

I updated and added some wall art.
Still waiting on a Las Vegas panoramic canvas and shopping for another idea.

What are all those pelican cases?
How are your TVs wired up? Do they dump all their connections to the floor? How do you cable them into your Tournament Director software?

I'm an electrician, pretty sure the answer here is HDMI over that drop ceiling and down to each monitor. Absolutely love this card room! Can't wait to come play someday!!

Lol. Not what you think.
They are actually all full of poker chips.
In terms of the TV’s, they all are wired into an HDMI switcher through the wall and ceiling into the main hub of the house. I can run directtv through all of them, Apple TV, any streaming app you can think of, or mirror from a device.
For the card games, instead of wasting a TV on the poker software, I put a 24” tv on the window and mirror an iPad into it.
