Kicked off the new season with new chips and a new remodeled room. 19 players showed and we had a great time. My only wish is that PCFers lived near enough to come by and share in the fun!

Some poorly captured pics:

Incredible Bert!!! Great pics of what seemed to be an awesome time had by all... I hope it's the first of many memorable nights at the CDN! (y) :thumbsup:

Oh, I didn't know you knew Adam Sandler...

I have been meaning to do this for a while.

I recently asked J5 (@Johnny5 ) to help me out with some customized playing cards. I decided to go with MPC or makeplayingcards.com for the project as it was the only card maker I had heard much about. I went with plastic cards and decided to have 4 different colors produced.

There are multiple options of stock material and cards can be made with borders or without. Bridge, poker, 4 color, and jump pips are all available. Turn around is very quick.

Made in China, they are not cheap. After a couple of games on the felt, they are holding up just fine.

The feel is a bit slick, but they shuffle well. I am not card aficionado, so take that for what it's worth. I have a ton of cards and these at least fit somewhere in the spectrum playability-wise.

Printing quality is worth noting. Most designs are going to look sharp, but fine detail loses its sharpness. See closeup below. All the cards are printed and cut centered perfectly. Color came out without problems.

sorry, I rotated this pic on my phone but it won't update. grrrr.

Explain the team tournament format please

Two player teams. One stack per team and players tag in and out every half an hour. Super social.

 

[bivey]

Set 'em up and knock 'em down!

Team tournament is my favorite day of the year, poker wise. Almost 50 local rounders playing in this social event.

Wow. Have I ever said how beautiful these chips are? Shame on me.

 

[Ghoti]

Looks like a blast! Wish I had the player pool to throw one of these.

Two upcoming projects both conceived within last 8 months. Both are a ways off and are as of yet without inlays but I hope to complete these someday.

Dr. Nutz - surf theme, Hawaii inspired.

Nutz Shack - throwback with simple in mind. Inlay influences up for consideration are Palace Club, Nevada Lodge, El Rancho, more?

So a mother is cleaning her son's room when she finds an S&M magazine under the bed.

Horrified, she shows the magazine to the boy's father. "How do you think we should handle this?!" she asks her husband.

"Well," he replies,

"I don't think we should spank him."

I still think this is one of my favorite CPC sets on PCF.

Shrimp cocktail
Cabernet braised pork loin w/ parsnip purée
Avocado and maple syrup chocolate mousse (no dairy!) w/ berries

And for the kids:

Lucky guy. Hopefully I last longer than 3 minutes for her tonight!

Yes I have kids and we are thinking about how to educate them on certain things. One of our friends found this and, well, it's freakin hysterical. Enjoy. Especially you @bentax1978
