After winning/being gifted chips from @BEANO52 he told @Mrs Poker Zombie that she and I would "have to battle for them". Since Beano's flip for the giveaway was an Omaha flip, we decided to battle for the chips in a PLO battle (1/1 stakes, each Item worth 1). The poll will ask whose point of...

As many of you know, @Mrs Poker Zombie is in her 5th month of treatment for breast cancer. Her prognosis is excellent compared to what it would have been just 5 years ago, thanks to many generous donations to those who have been trying to find a cure for this enemy that will inevitably affect...

At our last poker night, we announced to our group that Mrs Zombie has cancer. We also learned a fellow member has cancer, and at least two other members (myself included) have battled the Big C. Out next game, scheduled for October 7th, is going to be a fixed limit night. I thought, "How about...

In a cash game when a player is gone from the table for a lengthy period of time, a player can request the seat. The absent player's chips are placed under a clear box and the new player "plays over" their chips. I've seen the concept in casinos, but have never done it. I know it would be very...

Normally, I write my trip reports a the morning after complete a day. However, after 12 hours travelling and 7 time zones, the day just seems to have been erased - or at least blurred. It's sort of weird to lose a day without alcohol being involved. The whole trip started on the heels of the...

@nlhenerd posted in another thread 3 instances where he has banned players. That got me to thinking... what have your players done that got them banned (or simply cut from the invitation list) players. My initial contribution: I had a player with a glass of red wine. He didn't like to get up...

Game has grown and need moar chips. Offering $350 shipped. Open to discussing smaller or larger quantities.

One of our players moved to Phoenix 2 years ago. She still flies into Nashville a couple times a year to make it to games, so when she decided to get married in Phoenix, flying out was the least we could so. Flight (for two) from Nashville to Phoenix: $572. Flight from Nashville to Vegas $422...

Are there any F1 fans out there thinking about the race next November in Las Vegas? Tickets aren't on sale yet, but they are building a "priority list", which gets you a chance at tickets for a $7.77 "donation". I strongly suspect that tickets will be beyond my price to enjoyment ratio, but for...

It has come to my attention that nearly everyone loves the simple grilled cheese sandwich. If this is not a thing outside North America, you are really missing out. Although the sandwich is simple, the methods of preparation are nearly endless. What type of bread do you use Butter the pan or...

During the WSOP, Bally's and the Flamingo closed their poker rooms because Caesars needed the dealers for the WSOP. Sadly, the Flamingo has announced they they will not be reopening the Flamingo room, and has held a drawing to to exhaust the remaining funds in the Flamingo Poker room promotional...

Our end of the year event is less than 2 weeks away. $30 entry gets a prime-rib dinner, entry into the tournament, and $3 to use at the consolation table it you are eliminated from the Main Event "out of the money". The Consolation table is a 5¢-10¢ game (to start), and allows for add-ons up to...

My chipsets are usually a little over the top. 300 T25s for 18 players? Yes please. 16 per player means never having to make change. 1000 piece sets are my standard as they give a lot of room for my game to expand. Yet, I still remember the early days when my budget couldn't reach that far. So...

We were one of the few that masked up and ventured forth into Vegas briefly, during the pandemic. A year later we return, without bottles of hand sanitizer, to see how Vegas has recovered. This trip started off later than most Vegas jaunts, taking a late flight into town. The reason: We are...

So, I'm staging a publicity photo for my 100th, and end of the year event. Big piles of cash, splash pot, bracelet. Two hands face up, with the flop, and turn up, and a face-down river. My question, what combination of cards in each hand and in the community gives the closest 50-50 odds for the...

Looking for a sample set of these. Prefer the full set, but really only need any one. Check your couch cushions, under the sofa, in the drier... someone's gotta have one!

It's been a back-burner project for a few years now. So far back it has just been an idea, no real work. Until now. The problem is, I really have no ideas, except that it should feature the now iconic, card playing zombie. So I bring this to the forum to kick around (probably for another 2...

While casinos make their money by taking a +EV edge on every spin, pull, throw, or deal, poker rooms make their money very differently. I've seen timed rakes where you pay for every 30 minutes of seat time, a regular rake where they pull X% up to $Y from every win, and of course tournaments...

Times are a-changin. In this new COVID world, we can either stay safe at home, or take appropriate precautions and live life while we still have it. When the Zombies planned to return to Las Vegas for our 10-12th time (I'm writing this in Vegas, so don't have the exact number with me) COVID...

This is going to take a while...
