Flamingo Cologne - A chip set, not a fragrance (4 Viewers)

[OfficerLovejoy]

Inviting beautiful women to any social occasion, even if they 're prettier than your woman, is the same kind of vanity as inviting poker players better than you to a poker game.
Self-destructive, but still yields some pride, out of grandeur illusion.
Those born under the sign of Leo suffer the most from it.

Touché.

Some tests with option #3 - secondary $20s exclusively to be used in the limit set.

 

[Skagglio]

This set looks great, I think the solids in vibrant colors really looks nice together.

 

[CUORE3]

Beautiful set. For my part, I would do option #1. Pink are beautiful and I find them better than fuchsias.

But in the end, this set is great!

Fair point.
I really want them in my limit set now though. The limit set sees way more action anyways since my group only plays 10ct/10ct blinds, so we always use another set for no limit games where I have smaller fracs.

@Gear just contacted me - he's ready to print the add on lables and @arch3r is shipping the hot pinks and canary yellows next week.

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

I've been busy purchasing and relabling extras for my set to offer some sample sets to the community.
Expect a giveaway (my 1 year anniversary on PCF) and a sales thread in the near future.

 

[Mr_Y3RAC]

Love it

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

About to be (re)shipped from the states.
Poor @arch3r has a lot of packing ahead of him.

Who can find the fresh rack of flamingo $5s and secondary $20s in there?

 

[Thomacetti]

I'll start up the milling rig

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

The set is finished.

And now it's time for some pr...showcase.

Some sample sets will be made available to the community.

Hope this isn’t a dumb question but why not Köln? Persons preference?

Edit: Sorry didn’t realize this thread was 5 pages long. I haven’t read all the way through so you may have answered this.

Nice work! Is that a fuchsia quarter and a radiant $20?

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

Hope this isn’t a dumb question but why not Köln? Persons preference?

No dumb question at all. I was back and forth on this and finally settled on the more universally accepted solution. Didn't want the Yankees to be distracted by the two dots above the o.

Nice work! Is that a fuchsia quarter and a radiant $20?

Fuchsia quarter and hot pink secondary $20 (only to be used in the limit set, so these won't ever see each other on the felt).

 

[Nanook]

Clever use of the same set for both limit and nl. I like it a lot!!

One small suggestion: A few more racks of $1's. I'd like to see at least 12 racks and ideally 18 or 20 of $1's. Of course it depends on the number of players in your game but that is just me and my big stacks for a 4 chip game. Obviously it isn't necessary, but unlike the other denominations you don't need to murder and re-label and you can always sell them back at face value.

Well done though!

 

[AK Chip]

Looks awesome!!

 

[AK Chip]

Banging set either way!
Are those radiant reds?

Yes, I would need to pick a different color for my frac , I don't have enough radiant red for a cash set.

Congrats on your set, it is smoking!!

 

[Eriks]

Wow, very beautiful set, Angelo! I hope I get to play them some day

I'd love to spread a 4 chip game at some point! I'm far from being against a bigger limit set. Problem is, flamingos are being sold at $300/rack atm so I'm priced out for now.
If I could go and harvest them myself, I'd go for 1600+ chips for sure.

Obviously it isn't necessary, but unlike the other denominations you don't need to murder and re-label and you can always sell them back at face value.

As soon as the kids are bigger (and the flamingo casino is reopened) I'll try and go harvest them myself.
Maybe @Mr_Y3RAC wants to accompany me on a short Vegas trip.

For now I'll keep hosting 3 chip games 6 players max so everyone gets 150 workhorse Chips. This seems to be the sweet spot and has been working out pretty perfectly the last two times.

Well done though!

Well thank you.

Yeah, awesome color .
I could never swing the asking prices for excellent condition radiant reds when i saw them pop up maybe twice over the span of a year.

I can definitely recommend trying out hot pink with the flamingos. A match made in heaven.

Ready to fly to Koeln if you can invite her too, to a game

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

No worries. If you don't come voluntarily, I'm making some calls and having you picked up by some (probably insanely attractive) swedish colleagues of mine.

Haven't seen Katarina Witt for quite some time, but I'll see what I can do.

That is exactly what I would do....
Hmmmm, maybe I will plan a trip

Please let me know if you do!

I’m going to Vegas AND staying at Flamingo January 15th weekend for NFL Wild Card weekend and still paying $300/rack for the most minty of chips.

Can anybody confirm whether the poker room is still shut down or not?

 

[sheikh617]

Great set! I would have liked the hot pink as a frac, would look so good in stacks against the blue 1s and yellow 5s. Great job dude.

 

[Nanook]

.......Can anybody confirm whether the poker room is still shut down or not?

I am curious about that too as I will be heading there not long after. Not staying there, but certainly will stop in if the poker room is open

 

[ImCrossland]

I will certainly confirm if nobody else does by then.
