Hello! New from Los Angeles (1 Viewer)

Hello all, longtime reader, first time member

I'm a recreational poker player living in the Burbank area, but originally from San Jose, CA. I used to 'Round' back in my Bay Area days, playing every night at different houses and trying to go pro. Furthest I got was to the small $1500 buy-in WSOP event that I saved up from a few tournaments I won, but only lasted one day lol. I burned myself out after a few years and took a long hiatus, but now I've been getting the itch to play again.

I used to play in this one game with a friend that loved collecting poker chips, and it seemed like every week it was like we were playing in a different casino. He really introduced me to the artistry of poker chips, especially Paulson, CPC and BCC's. Ever since then I feel spoiled and definitely dont wanna settle for dice chips. So I got one set of Banker chips from Apache Poker, but been itching to get more now ;p

So I've been in a deep dive looking at various chips on this forum for over a month now(and yes, I have like 20 tabs open for different chips lol), and just really looking forward to joining this community and meeting you all!

Welcome!
What a good friend you have

Welcome, nice intro! Your friend definitely sounds like a chipper.

I lived in the San Jose area for a short period. It was many years ago but I have very fond memories of that place.

Nice! I would frequent Garden City and Bay 101 the most. Sad Garden City closed. Did you go to either?

I wish, didn’t really play back then

Nice! Born and raised down the street in Eagle Rock (high school in Burbank), and then I switched with you and am now up in the bay.

You have some solid chippers near you that host, might want to reach out and connect to see if there’s any openings.

Oh nice, what part of the Bay did you move to? And yes I look forward to meeting the locals someday. I'm sure some go to the Moose Lodge here, I've played there a few times.
