Straight Flush
I found this idea suggested here on the forum some time ago, and finally acted on it.
When I realized I will have a full house of 30 players for my annual BBQ Poker Tourney next weekend, I decided a better/more efficient method for seating would be needed.
I just didn’t want to deal with using separate seating chips in addition to 30 starting stacks/tubes, and thought that using the tube-caps as a “seating chip” would be a good idea.
I took some photos along the way to share the process. Enjoy!
WHAT'S NEEDED
• U-Line Retail Tubes
• U-Line Retail Caps
• 1-1/2" clear acrylic discs
• Silicone adhesive/sealant (clear)
• @Gear labels
The purpose of the clear acrylic discs is to create a flat surface for the seating label, since the underside of the cap has raised mold markings.
Setting up, with everything laid out:
Peeling protective layer off the acrylic disc (pardon my dirty fingernails):
First label applied to disc:
* Be careful pressing the labels onto the disc! Do NOT rotate the disc between your fingers as you press down. The edge of the acrylic disc is sharp, and can cut into your skin if you're not careful. I speak from experience!
Labels complete:
Apply a dime-size dollop of adhesive in center of cap:
Press labeled disc into cap:
Repeat, and voila!:
Now all I have to do is hand out starting stacks, and players will have their seat number and table assignment at the same time!
