I miss my friend on PCF (1 Viewer)

I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting @Ben8257 in person, but I think we can all agree, that PCF is a better place when we have regular #BenBook posts to read.

Good times we've had @Ben8257 Hope to see you in Vegas this year.

@Ben8257

Sending you TONS OF LOVE BROTHER!!! Be well and I hope to see you soon!!

 

[BlueChipSpecial]

@Ben8257 - We've never had a chance to meet, but I always enjoy your Ben books. The knowledge, thoughtfulness, insight and sometimes just plain 'ol common sense that you bring to PCF has helped this chipper get into the hobby and made the journey a blast.

Wishing you all the best, Ben!

I like @Ben8257

Wasted away again in TRK’ville, searching for my lost brother @Ben8257 …

For all of you that haven’t met @Ben8257 in person yet but plan to… make sure you’re up to date on your tetanus shot. I remember my first time meeting him.

Insult to injury from PCF. MULTIPLE TAGS AND no alerts on @Ben8257 account. He’s unable to put up pictures and post. Why would that be @Tommy, maybe worth a look. Discouraged Mode perhaps?

No idea. There are no issues on PCF's side nor has @Ben8257 reached out to me about any issues he is having. Tell him to check his account settings. Logs show he modified them on 1/26.

Met Ben back in 2019 for the first time, he sat to my left at krafty's Baltimore meetup main event and chatted me up the whole day, all the way to the final table.

Had such a great time that I started planning a jersey meetup on my drive home that night. @Ben8257 a half dozen meetups or so later - hanging out, knocking back a few drinks and shooting the shit with you are always tops on my meetup list. Miss seeing you around brother!

Thank you for calling this out @RivieraDanny you're a good dude.

I got my 12 year old nephew and his friends to do this entrance when they start warming up for their basketball games.

Live look at Ben reading all these posts about him.

Was thinking about @Ben8257 yesterday while reading someone's book-length post, before moving on after ~10 seconds. Realized I rarely finish such posts, but with Ben it was always 100%.

 

[Okku]

I MISS BEN TOO!!!!! Haven't seen him active on here much lately which has had be thinking about him much more. I also miss talking to him regularly even though I have his number. I hope to see him this summer and give him the biggest hug in the world. Dude made me laugh and smile so much last time he was visiting loved every second of it. Also, he's pretty good at poker so don't mess around with him at the tables...

@Ben8257

I've been practicing Drawmaha 49 for the sole purpose of felting you at Jammin' in Jersey 2023 and if that doesn't work, I'll try again at Dan's in September!

Fun Fact. Sudeikis was my high school point guard ha.

 

[BamaT8ter]

In what I expect is a pretty common story, one of my first PCF interactions was a Ben book on my intro thread. And the first time I met @Ben8257, he brought me a 4Qs silver strike just because he felt like I ought to have it. You’re a good one, Ben. PCF is less without you.

*Edit* All of that said, Ben, do what you think is best for you. You don’t owe this place or chipping one iota of energy or thought that you don’t want to give. I hope you come back, but most of all I hope that you’re doing what you need to do to be happy and content.

 

[BPTDirector]

Hey @Ben8257 please come back, we miss you. Whoever pissed you off can suck it!

So coincidental that you created this thread @RivieraDanny. Yesterday afternoon I realized I hadn’t seen any @Ben8257 books lately and discovered he hadn’t posted in awhile.

When I first came back to the game almost two years ago I received my 1st Ben book with a quick synopsis of the current market which I completely appreciated. I don’t know the situation that caused Ben to stay away but hopes he finds his way back.

 

[Bill_Man618]

@Ben8257 please come back! We miss you around here man!

 

[Samuel]

@Ben8257, you're one of the main guys I live vicariously through - hope you and yours are doing well!

I'm forming a Posse! LETS GO!

I think I first met Ben IRL waiting to enter the 2021 chip convention. He & Brie definitely stand out in a room full of chip nerds, so I walked up and introduced myself. Also saw him again & said hello at 2022 convention. Very friendly & personable. He's content here is certainly missed.

Great thread @RivieraDanny!
Ben is apart of my MD Fam and we’ve been in regular communication pretty much since I came back to PCF. He has a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for this hobby he loves so much, but more importantly, he’s a caring and funny dude! He’s on my Mount Rushmore of Ultimate Chip Brah’s
I’ll be taking him on a man date when I take vacation in either may or June, if I can’t kidnap him before then

One Love Bro
