Lol no he was on the street in NYC. He was actually dressed better than about 80% of the people we see here.
It’s Halloween though.

So, it happened sooner and more suddenly than I thought.

Even though I'm currently (with paid intern) in the process of cataloging and documenting my collection, I am engulfed with a bout of what I can only describe as "chipping anhedonia". The excitement of a new set or discovery doesn't seem to bring about the same joy, and while I used to refresh the classifieds with the fervent vigor of a caged bull, I am so less inclined to do so nowadays.

In speaking with a friend about it, it’s possible that I got to the depths of my collection too quickly; and upon reflection, it's possible that I'm just somewhat bored with what's available...but it eventually led to the question of what I'm actually going to do with all these chips. It’s also entirely possible that a combination of work stress and too much poker has created a bit of “enough is enough” syndrome.

I still love hosting games with different sets, but the subset of players who enjoy them as much as I do are infinitesimally small, compared to the gambling degens who I tend to play with week after week; which is probably why I like meetups so much, its a chance to sit with like-minded people and play with, discuss and ogle over amazing chippies.

I've seen notes from people like @Perthmike and others who speak of a similar decline in passion, but that usually comes after years of doing it. Didn't think it would happen quite so quickly for me. While I still love them, I can feel myself making excuses when I'm about to take on a difficult / extensive pr0n shoot, for example, and that wasn't the way I was just a few months ago.

I'm hoping @k9dr 's SQM meetup will re-energize me some, or perhaps these lulls are common, and the love does come in peaks and valleys.

Only posting this because this thread was started to document my chipping journey, and I think this lull is a worthwhile event to notate and ponder over.

More to come, I suppose.

Well there’s one sure fire way of getting through this:

Hosting the most epic meet-up in PCF history. It would surely take a team but rent out a space, get a bunch of sets in play, bring the entire community (a lot at least) together like no other meet-up could and give yourself and everybody else a chance to meet great people, share our degenerate love of clay (and plastic), and play with some epic chips.

We’ve all had the pleasure of watching your collecting feats over your time on PCF. Imagine how cool it would be for everybody to experience putting those chips in play together.

Just my 2¢ from my own regulars not really appreciating the chips they’re playing with while they’re at my games. Getting to meet @Chicken Rob and @TKO briefly and chat about various chipping minutia was all the reassurance I needed that PCF was the perfect community for me to be part of.

Funny you say that I have been toying with looking for a few co-hosts to put this Idea together but it back burnered.. I own a banquet facility on Lake Michigan and was thinking what a cool Idea it would be to put together a huge tourney, chip sale/trade, a whole circus of events!! with a big award banquet afterward! that would be so cool!! anyone think we should start a thread?? My ballroom could fit unlimited tables, there's a bar (Naturally), we could get MULTIPLE HOT DOG ROLLERS! One ticket price all inclusive (Excluding cash games) Food, bar etc. And there's a few great hotels just blocks from our location. Annnnd shit who wouldnt wantto spend a few days in Kenosha Wisconsin!!! LOL 45 Minutes North to Milwaukee and 45 minutes south to Chicago!

How is it that the 500's have the most hooker juice?!

 

[Jonesey07]

Snag me a tourney set?

 

[Mongoose]

Wooo, hooker juice on full display here. Lol. Good luck, enjoy the event, run good, and take it down!

 

[Highli99]

Good luck Krish! I hope you stack some poker pros. Be interested in your thoughts on the level of play and overall experience.

Krish, you do realise you can't add these to your vault, right?

 

[jpietrella]

Krish, you do realise you can't add these to your vault, right?

Not with that attitude.

 

[liftapint]

Krish, you do realise you can't add these to your vault, right?

Never say never.

 

[jr8719]

Never say never.

You're right... I mean, this is their last year in circulation, right?

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Never say never.

Truth! I have NM T25-T500 they’re awesome

 

[Taghkanic]

IDEA:

How about a tournament where what you win is not cash, but the actual chips in play?

Winner take all. (Chip donor keeps the buy-ins.)

 

[SiouxperStack]

Good luck!

 

[TKEUofM]

Wow, you would think with all the COVID rules they would have run them through the chip cleaner for a bath.

 

[Himewad]

Hooker juice kills Covid. Everybody knows that. Science.

 

[AfterTheFact]

Run Good!
