Yes, dice plaques go with dice chips... into the trash can. Just kidding, I wouldn't actually throw them away. I'd give them away to someone who might enjoy them.

Let me tell you about a little state called "Utah."

I agree that if you just kind of randomly show up, and you're late, you're not getting a seat. It really makes for a better game to have people commit ahead of time, and have those people show up on time. If someone makes clear that they're likely going to be late, that's fine. But if someone...

I think this question of rules enforcement is made much easier if the host and/or dedicated dealer are on top of things. If someone is betting out of turn, I as the dealer stop them as quickly as I can and tell them player x hasn't acted yet. If, as in the Mike Caro example, a guy is trying to...

I live in a particularly regulated state. If you've ever herd of Mormons, or how they now want to be referred to, "The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints," well they don't like drinking, they don't like gambling and I bet they'd outlaw the habanero meatballs if you gave them the chance...

I live in Utah... A Super Bowl pool is technically illegal here. There is a difference between being illegal and being something that would catch the attention of the authorities and in a friendly poker game all players are breaking the same rules and in reality no one cares. But here, if the...

The complications is that it is illegal to charge for homebrew in the U.S.. There's really no ifs ands or buts. Also, I live in a state where even having a friendly poker game is technically illegal, although if there is absolutely no host advantage it is the same "crime" for all players. But if...

I'm a competitive (winning) home beer brewer. I usually have a few of my beers on tap. I have enjoyed being able to do that and as a home beer brewer it is very hard to get honest feedback from non-brewers. So I know if someone has six pints they liked it. But at the same time, it's like it is...

Poker is a game about money. You can't separate money from poker and still have poker the way we all know it. It becomes card bingo.

But what would be wrong with doing a proper cut and using a cut card, no matter what the game setting? It's not like we play with the cards face-up when we're with friends and family and just think that no one would ever look at my cards in this game because we're all old friends here. These...

Yeah, I also had 5 felonies that I was convicted for as a child. I grew up. I know a lot of people who haven't.

A cut card makes executing the most common card mechanic tricks many orders of magnitude harder.

The riffle with a bridge is still a riffle. Yeah the bridge doesn't do anything, but as long as they get a few good riffles in there all should be good. And yeah, if you have an arranged deck, like let's say you're playing 5 card draw for some reason, then you need to do a better job...

I've been into poker most of my life. When I was in my teens, about 14, my friend and I would occasionally get a few other people together to play dealer's choice poker with $.05 antes (we didn't play hold'em much back then). Anyway, for kicks we learned a few ways to do a false shuffle or deal...

In Hold'em the deck never gets arranged. What constitutes "shitty" shuffling? As long as the arrangement of cards in the deck is not predictable to anyone the job is done imho.

What a surprise! Checked the mail today and thought the envelope was something else. timinator, I'm sorry you did this out of pocket. I had given up on ever getting this, but I appreciate that you're making it right. I haven't been active here for a while, but if there ever is a chance I hope...

a "nutcracker" (lol) would be more like this: :th::qh::ah::4s::9c: on the board and you have :kh::2h: now you have the nut flush and best possible hand since the straight flush is no longer possible. But if you had :kh::as:, you'd block the ultimate nut hand without having the best possible hand.

If you have a card the spoils what is the best possible hand, making that hand no longer possible and your current hand the best possible hand then you now have the nuts. For example, if the board was :th::jh::qh: :2c::7s:the best possible hand anyone could have is :kh::ah:, but if you have...

I really doubt he agreed to reship just so he could get all our buttons. I hope he's okay
