I'm thrilled to finally reveal part of what I've been working on for the last several months. I have a custom 44mm CPC cash set in the works that I hoped would be ready before the table got made, but c'est la vie. I'll add pron when the chips come in. This is my first "big boy table", and couldn't be more thrilled to upgrade! Here's a bit of backstory:
History and Background:
Jack's Card Room came to be after I decided after an eight year sabbatical from poker to get my home game going again. The previous eight years, I was busy working, going to grad school, planning a wedding, buying a house, and having a kid. There wasn't much room for poker and maintaining a regular game in between all of that. I'd play once in a blue moon, but pre pandemic, I've played in and hosted more games in one year than I did in thr previous eight.
The significance of the name isn't too far out there. All of my father, wife, and son have some varation of the name "Jack" and the name is a nod to each of them. Primarily it's geared to my son whom will probably own a lot of my poker stuff one day. The New Jersey state map outline is set in the background because that's where we all grew up and live. There's really nothing more to it than meets the eye, it's a pretty simple design.
Estimated Grand Reopening of Jack's Card Room is July 5, 2020. I'm looking forward to filling this thread with nasty bad beat stories, shenanigans of all kind, and most importantly, awesome chips. I'm going to reserve a couple of posts below this one and illustrate all of the chip sets that are going to be used in Jack's Card Room. Don't worry though, there are more sets to come!
Here's some table pron until the chip photos get uploaded!
