Playing 5-handed at @MikesDad $.25/.50 game last night. Still relatively early in the game, Hero is sitting on around $105 and Villain in this hand covers with a bit more. Hero has a fairly TAG - some would say super-nitty - image at the table, and Villain is @MikesDad, who I hope will not...

Playing a monthly league tournament recently - $40 buy-in with a $5 bounty. We're down to final 6 with 5 getting paid and 6th getting $30 bubble boy money. Hero has a slight chip lead, but at this point average stack is only around 9 BB's and Hero has about 13-14, with 4 other players around...

First, this is NOT a belated April Fool's joke... or at least my wife swears it isn't, and I believe her. She's not one for pranking and understands the sanctity of poker chips, so it can't be her. I, on the other hand, might do something like this, but obviously I know it wasn't me. Hence...

Monthly league tournament last night.. Both Hero and Villain (on Hero's direct right) have a fairly tight-solid image and did not tangle too much earlier on, but have played a few hands within last 45 minutes or so, with both in the area of 15-20BB stacks: 1) Folded to Villain in SB, who...

Last monthly game of this local league I play in. I managed to run very well this year and have already clinched the top spot and final table chiplead going into this game, so this one was all about just adding points/chips and obviously trying to win the biggest piece of the monthly prize...

Discussed this ruling with a friend earlier today. He was the Hero, so bear with me as I try to recount the details as he described them: Playing 2/5 at MD Live, where there is no betting line and the one-chip call is accepted. Hero and Villain had been playing together a while and tangled in...

Just curious, if you had to take a stab at it, what percent of all non-custom, non-dicey-cheapo, quality chips (i.e. Paulsons from closed casinos or home market, TRK's, Bud Jones, etc.) do you think are owned by the PCF community as a whole? Was just assessing my Empress set and started...

Playing in a monthly league tournament, $40 buy-in ($5 bounty, $5 to final game). 25 players started and Hero and Villain have been heads-up for about 10 hands now, both going into this hand with exactly 127k in chips and blinds at 4k/8k. About 5 minutes left in this level, then blinds go to...

Looking to consolidate my Empress set a little by having only one variation of both the $5 and $25's, specifically the darker based chips. If someone happens to be doing something similar but looking for the lighter chips I'd love to do a 1-to-1 trade. I know it's not the easiest difference to...

Just curious... has anyone who ordered chips from ASM Vegas ordered an add-on (or a whole new set, I suppose) with similar specs and had a chance to compare thickness and how they rack? I'm hoping to order some new $1's and maybe a handful of higher denoms that wouldn't see much play. My ASM...

This thread is part 2 of the Bo Manor (ASM Vegas) pr0n thread here (http://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/bo-manor-asm-vegas-fdl-pr0n-re-post.7894/) in which I mention the possibility of replacing my original $1's, rife with split spots, thickness variation, and possibly some minor color...

Posted these on the blue wall a few years back, but since I'm getting the itch to do either an add-on or completely new CPC set, figured it'd be worthwhile to re-post and get some thoughts. Quick backstory: Bo Manor is the name my friends gave to my humble abode when I bought my first place - a...

Playing the MD Live $75 "bankroll builder" 10k guaranteed tourney yesterday, 408 entries, paying top 45, $105 for a min-cash with a nice 4-figure payday for the top few spots. The "players remaining" number on the tournament clock has been dropping in chunks for the past hour or two, and...

I got into poker during the online boom when it seemed the tournament standard was freezeout, no late entry, no add-ons, etc. Obviously there have been a lot of changes since then, and the vast majority of casino-run daily/weekly tournaments have unlimited re-entries allowed up through a...

Looking for a little advice on a hand from earlier today. MD Live was running a $65 (+$10 dealer add-on) 10k guarantee, 15k starting stack, 20 minute levels, rebuys through first 8 or 9 levels, ended up with over 400 entries. Hand occurred during Level 3. Hero had played 3 hands, primarily a...

Hey all, I'm starting this thread as a proud owner of custom ASM-Vegas (pre-Red, Michael era) chips, who is also contemplating a CPC add-on now that there are talks of getting the FDL mold back in action. I really shouldn't even be contemplating this in the first place... but, well... you know...
