    Tourney Had a player leave mid-tourney last night

    The entire 2nd page skipped this post. In my opinion, this is THE reason why you should blind it out in this scenario. At the beginning of tournaments you're blinded out because you can show up late, and still accept your stack. In the middle, you're blinded out when you go to the bathroom, take...

    Finished Barrington/ESPN table with topper

    Damn…for a 4 table portable setup, a couple of these with mats on them for $279 doesn’t seem like a bad idea… they travel easy enough?

    Finished Barrington/ESPN table with topper

    I actually wondered that also when I saw an ESPN table for sale a few weekends ago. I didn't want to get it, and have the mat cover the LED's. If that were the case, I'd get the other table without the LED's instead of having them visible every couple of feet around the tables because they...

    ALL local poker rooms permanently closed from Covid, anyone else?

    You’re not entirely wrong, but I think you underestimate the value of everything being free in the casino, and not in the charity’s games or card houses. A slightly higher rake, say a couple quarters per hand, let alone a dollar per hand, is plenty of money per hour. A $7-9 drink at a charity...

    ALL local poker rooms permanently closed from Covid, anyone else?

    Most of the people hit the nail on the head. . While poker was shut down post 'rona, the 'gamblers' (that weren't exclusively poker players), still found ways to spend their money. Casinos hit all time highs in profit once they re-opened, because poker players were playing slots and tables. They...

    Not Mine $100 Live Wynn chip for $90 on eBay

    I'm at a loss for words. He could have sent it back to the Wynn in the mail, and they would have sent him a $100 check. Somebody please explain to me why this would be a good route to go? My only 3 thoughts: Perhaps he stole it/them from another player. He's a banned player, and they won't...

    @FDLmold We could start a separate 'Classless Drink' thread...for me, and you, and everybody who drinks white claws.

    Dude.. I LOVE Butterscotch Scnapps.... Actually... I I might stop and get some on the way home now that you put the thought in my head... It's been a hot minute.

    Official PCF Whisk(e)y Thread

    I haven't read even a few pages of this thread, so I'm just jumping in with an opinion: I'm a pussy, and don't drink hard alcohol well. It's possible that I've just not had good stuff, so I've been tainted and haven't continued to tried higher ends. I don't actually even know the difference...

    Not Mine $100 Live Wynn chip for $90 on eBay

    This is mind boggling to me.... If you mail the chips back to the casino, they will cash them in for you and send you a check. If you wanted the money, why would you sell a live chip? (I'm not doubting that it's live, it very well may be) I'm just saying, that's kinda silly to me.

    Do you live near, or are travelling to, Deadwood SD??

    They still are. They've had the same chips on their poker tables/blackjack tables since they've been open for 20 years probably. It will be nearly impossible to find anything in 'normal casino used condition', let alone better.

    I think I'm out, guys (Casino Cancun drama advice requested)

    Shit.... 2 years later... He's 16, the 'rona has been hard on the family, he's a hands on learning, school is hard, sports were hard on him. We are currently packing him up and moving him to his mothers in South Carolina as a spiritual, educational, friendships, sports reset.

    Twin rivers buys Ballys name

    Ballys has been getting out of gaming for years now. They used to have a bunch of casino blackjack pit software that was top of the line. They've managed to keep support on the back-end, but I'd expect that to change soon also. They're all but out of gaming.

    Home gym help

    I would absolutely agree with @msuroo here typically. However, unless you have a very good grasp of Olympic Weightlifting, I don't generally recommend people who are new to it to introduce their wives/kids to it. I do agree with the complex movements of a barbell to increase the resting...

    Deadwood, SD casinos are opening.

    Silverado won't have poker any longer. The Lodge closed their poker room for good today. Cadillac Jacks is now the only place that offers poker in Deadwood.

    Deadwood, SD casinos are opening.

    No new news as of this past weekend. Still no poker anywhere except Cadillac Jacks. I'm doing some consulting in Denver, to Council Bluffs, MN, and will be back in the area in a couple weeks.

    Tourney Tourney AND Cash - 500 chipset breakdown?

    The way this shit just rolls off of your tongue is nonsensical. I have to think so hard to put together even half as good of a setup, blind structure, and it usually involves a ton of research. Now, I know you've been doing it on the daily, forever. But, it's always nice to see you constantly...

    Deadwood, SD casinos are opening.

    Yes. Some places put their employees on furlough, and are bringing them back as needed. The Silverado also placed their Blackjack, restaurant, hotel personnel on furlough, but actually terminated/laid off their poker staff. So that would leave us to assume they aren't reopening at all. Kinda. I...
