    Table Showcase (pics)

    Thanks to help from @T_Chan the dining top has been repaired and looks amazing. Thanks to the lead on a vendor and inspiration from @TomC727 the chairs have received a massive upgrade. Next up, wall decorations.

    Table Showcase (pics)

    My lighting and phone camera don't do it justice, but @T_Chan knocked another one out of the park! The shipping company tried to get an early look at it, and they beat up the dining top pretty good in the process, so I don't have any pictures of they yet, but I assure you the pieces that made...

    Classic Diamond (Bridge, Blackjack Index)

    I've always liked the baby suited connectors, but I pulled off the triple check raise with 24s a couple weeks ago so it's now my favorite.

    Tourney Tournament Buy-In

    We play 5 levels, about 90 minutes, pause the clock and play 1 final rebuys eligible hand before starting level 6. Must be broke to rebuy. We've debated allowing someone to surrender their stack and rebuy, but have never allowed it. We ended up implementing the +1 hand because we had a lot...

    Tourney TEAM Poker Tournament - your thoughts?

    One of the card rooms here used to run a team shootout type event one a year here, bit I can't find the details on it anymore. IIRC it was 5 player teams. You start 10 handed, sit every other, played down to last man standing and the team the winner represents moved on to the next round. I...

    Tourney Tournament Buy-In

    What about $20 with 1 or 2 rebuys allowed? That would let people have the option of putting in more if they bust and might loosen up some newbies if they know they have a 2nd chance.

    I'd love a setup of these when they're in

    Custom Poker Table Felt Thread

    Today I got a sneak peak of the felt that Tim designed for the table Tony is building for me, and I can't stop staring at it! I absolutely love it.

    Rules Question on Sorta Showdown

    Even before being forced to show your hand, shouldn't an open fold with action behind be a penalty in a tournament?

    Chanman's projects

    I don't blame you. I feel like I'm going into mine that often just to stare at the cloth design, and the table isn't going to be done until January. It's going to be a long fall!

    cheapest way to buy stock online?

    I haven't used it, but I've heard the Fidelity app is essentially the same as Robinhood. There's a small fee if you're trading options, but I believe stocks are completely free. They're supposed to have better research and some teachings for beginners as well.

    Cash Game What are the stakes at your home game?

    We have a monthly game. Typically we play a $20 tournament that will run about 8-12 on a Saturday night with 6-12 guys. Then as soon as 3 people have busted out the $.25/$.50 game starts and will run until 3am or so. Most buy in for $40-$60, but will rebuy once or twice. Only once has anyone...

    Cancelled Majestic Blanks, 1000 pieces

    If you do end up splitting, and @Gear still has labels, I'd take a barrel or two of the yellows and one of the orange.

    Wanted Majestic add-on

    Hi guys. I went over to Apache to get a barrel of $1k's for my Majestic set, but they're out so why not add a little more than just that if there's anything out here. I'm looking for about a barrel each of yellow $1k's, purple $500's and orange $5k's if anyone has some extras sitting around...

    Tourney Add on

    Well I made every possible wrong decision all night and busted out in the first level after registration ended. It was pretty unanimous to take the chips though. We had two OMC's that didn't but the ad on, one older lady who say on her's, and everyone else took them immediately

    Tourney Add on

    That's probably the best and simplest way to frame it.

    Tourney Add on

    Just when I thought I'd made my mind up! By the time I get off work I'll probably miss a level or so, and that should give me a good idea of where everyone is and what the wizards are doing, and I'll adjust from there. I'm back to leaning towards talking the extra ammo up front though.

    Cash Game Fixed Limit betting cap?

    I've played plenty of the hold em this way, not the mixed games. Limit by nature is a drawing game, so people will be chasing. What you normally see is a few capped multiway pots preflop a session that slow down after. If things get nuts on the flop again it's big made hands vs. draws and...
