Be a man and shuffle them in one hand.
There's been a ban for many years now on any non poker items on the poker table in our local game since one of the players brought a literal Samurai sword with him and plopped it on the pool table in front of him and refused to move it, stating "I want to protect my chips" with a deadpan expression, not in any kind of joking way. This individual hasn't gotten another invite since that night.

I wish I was kidding.

Our Championship is a Claymore Sword. Maybe his main game, they used that....

Today I got back the chips I've sent to @OlNoiShi for milling and labelling.

I'm very very ... very ... very pleased with the result. Great job !

Thanks also for the 3 x $1 sent as gift.

As you can see, I asked him to mill extra chips I had to apply @Gear labels in order to have the samples on actual chips. I have few samples with one type of label on each face. I'll open a giveaway contest soon to share one here.

Nice! You get these from Ken in Piscataway? Those are in great shape, I really should grab another 10 from him as well for the meetup.
Affirmative. He had many more of the chairs pictured. Also noticed he had all black chairs but with cloth upholstery instead of vinyl.
 
HP’s arrived yesterday... couldn’t be more excited to have a piece of California gaming history! Got to put them in play for a few minutes with @Steppenwolf and @horseshoez. Colors are amazing... will have them ultrasonically cleaned and oiled by the weekend!

What the...

Now I remember... It was @ReallyGoodUsername's game.
A game like this doesn't come together often outside the casinos. The stakes attracted the likes of @EventHorizonVII, @Himewad, @BirdCage, @Richard Cranium, and @HeWhoWouldPun. I decided to make a run at it.

I got dealt Q5o. Rags.
And I just decided, you know, I don't care about the cards. I'm just gonna outplay these guys. I'm just gonna outplay these guys this hand.

Flop comes Q79 with two hearts, giving me an unexpected lead. I lose concentration on the turn and @Himewad hits his jack kicker for a J9 two pair. Just my luck. But I gather whatever courage I have left and stare down at my phone, pulling that thumb down again and again until the 5 of clubs hits the river spiking my two pair!

You see, I sat with the best in the world, and I won. This is what I won, a shuffle stack of leaded Paulsons!

Thanks @ReallyGoodUsername for the opportunity and the prize!! :) :tup:

With today’s mail I received my last rack of jack 1s. This set now stands 1700 chips strong, 1900 if u include the relabeled 500s and 2.50s (which will never be used unless a black jack game breaks out - but be prepared, that’s my motto). Thanks to all that made the set happen. I will still be sleeping with one eye open in case some more jack 1ks come on the market at 2 am......
