The fucking “hero” thing is overplayed and needs to end. In recanting action in a hand it’s okay because I get we want to feel like a main character (though idk why we’re using more letters when “I” from the perspective of OP and “you” from perspective of audience work well).

But when it bleeds into talking about how you organize structure of your game or how you arrange your chips or anything else like what’s with this weird third person self aggrandizing thing?

Do you see it a lot?

Sure mojo did it recently, but that cat pretty much only posts poker hands/ pics/etc.

Now if a person starts doing that irl or via text, I’d say their dbaggery levels would be pretty off the charts.

I will say this: Not a fan of Paulson’s metallic colors. I assume that’s Gold on the Cajun Cup edge spots, right?

Beige, I believe:

I personally tend to like a more neutral color on most 3d14 chips when next to a really eccentric color like Lime, Arc Yellow, etc. It's is why you see Gray on so many red fives. Hell, at one time a majority of my leaded red fives had a gray insert (Adolfo's, Hinkley, Ruger/CDI, Claim Stake).

All that said, I don't typically like the metallic spot colors either, although Gold itself doesn't have the flecks, Metallic Gold does.

Hero opens PCF and sees a comment from Villian he doesn’t agree with. Should Hero:

1. Post snarky reply
2. Ignore and carry on
3. Flip over the table and challenge Villian to a heads up game to decide who is the greatest poker player of all time
4. Drink more Ovaltine

There are plenty of PCF users that have dysfunctional relationships with their games and their chips, that aren’t grounded in reality. They are harmless, but that doesnt make it less annoying.

I’ve never seen this hero talk on PCF other than for hand analysis lol

No shame here cause my post was a subtle reference to it.

I didn’t even think of George. I thought of Jimmy.

Having more than 4 racks of the workhorse chip for any cash set is overkill.

It also infringes on getting another denomination in play

4 racks of $5's is perfect for a deep meet up game. For the average home game, 2-3 is plenty and as @chippitydoodah points out, allows for the $20/$25 and $100's to get into play.
