Thank you very much for the AWESOME invite!! And the feeling is mutual if you are ever in VA. Although, just a heads up, we have too many damn Marines...LOL!!
Yes sir, 84" tables. We squeeze 10 around them for league nights, but I much prefer 8.
Lol, that's just the storage space for the tables and chairs
I shove the couch there on poker nights. The first out will usually sit there in shame while waiting for the cash game to start.

Lmao I figured all of that! Brilliant!! Can't wait to get back to normal poker man! Also hope there is a hotel in town, would love to come join sometime... but guessing there is a wait list?Yes sir, 84" tables. We squeeze 10 around them for league nights, but I much prefer 8.

For @krafticus he runs 36 players, when he send out the email sometimes it is filled up in under an hour (he usually saves a seat for some of us) but it's pretty bad man!!
Definitely love to join in sometime as long as it's not the same night you invite @MatB .... we have all herd the stories of you two and I am not on that level!!

@moose I apologize sir as I am still new. I have never seen your custom line up. Are they all HS on the CSQ mold? Amazing chip brother!! I expected Moose lodge or casino... but "Chip Emporium" absolutely priceless sir!!
Add trip to Canada to play at the "Moose Casino and Chip Emporium" to the bucket list!!

In general I have found that the players at my game appreciate the customization/personalization of the name and theme more than the quality of the chips and other elements. Granted my game is a social/beer league type game and not hyper competitive poker (we go to the local casinos for that), but I am honestly surprised more people on PCF don't have group names etc. or use them as strongly.
There is always a waitlist for the league game nights, but I will always host a pickup game for an out of town guest. Several PCFers have made their way to the Windy Crest Poker Room, some win, but all has had a good time. Can't wait for covid to be over so my room can go back to smelling like stale beer and day old cigar smoke.

I have a group of 6 close friends, we play poker regularly. At some point the name "Del Longo Casino" became kinda the joke name, because one friend's last name is Longo and we live close to the Del Lago Casino in NY. For his birthday we got him a custom set of ceramics from ABC. This is the best photo of the chips I can find at the moment.
The name of the game alternates between "Athenian Owl Club" and "Horseshoe Pesta 1895" at the whims of the local self-appointed gang of degens, and, ultimately, myself
So, it's either
or
Experience has shown that best results can only be achieved under the aegis of His All Passionateness, Saint John William Coltrane, while listening to his prayer-tunes.

Been playing with the same group for 16 years now. After a trip to Vegas where Paris was our favourite casino my home became the...
******Parris Luxury Resort and Casino*******
Parris being my surname and my rickety old beat up kitchen table and chairs being anything but a luxury resort...
It became a running joke and my friends started tagging themselves on Facebook and it grew from there. Now we’ve got 2000 limit chips and a couple of dealer buttons with a cash set currently being built. Talk about taking a joke too far

Heated seats would solve that problem
Heated seats would solve that problem
ha, you joke, but it's a carryover from my old house when we used to play in my finished but unheated basement. and we had one dude who used to bring his own mini space heater that he would keep at his feet and wear fingerless gloves
the beaver though is just a reference to a little stuffed beaver that has moved all my houses with me and is always stashed somewhere up high near the poker table.

I was in the process of having them made but monkeydog stopped answering my emails. Without my knowledge he had the stamps made and then they got transferred to @AK Chip when he sold all his hotstamping equipment. AK made that one as a practice chip. I hope to get a full set made on the Roman mold in the new year.

My room doesn't have an official name. it goes by several.
My league games are referred to by PPL Games. When we first started our league many moons ago someone coined us "Poorfessional Poker Players" and we kinda ran with it. Any more we just use PPL, which isn't quite as corny

Since my name is Bill the Bill's Gamblin Hall relabel and sign fit perfect.
This sign is at the bottom of my stairs heading to the poker room
Since my last name starts with D, sometimes my house is referred to as "The D's", so.....

I think the name of @Azcat @WedgeRock league is pretty appropriate.... Fish and Chips Poker Tour.
They're here somewhere, but I haven't seen them for a few years. They keep a low profile...
Love all your work @AK Chip perhaps if you’re up to the challenge next year, I’m hoping to acquire some CPC customs made in order to hotstamp. 600 pieces plus a few extra just in case. We’ll have to talk if it all works out for your schedule.

I used to host an annual tournament called the Balls Deepstack Poker Classic.
Note that one key to having multiple custom sets is that you name each component of your setup - club/league name (ie group of people), room name, overall establishment. Affords for lots of creative opportunity

We don't have a name for the group, but I usually try to give each tournament a name. Three that stand out are:
The March Mega Money Maker Madness
The River Rat Royal Rumble
The Last Chance Pre-Baby Poker Extravaganza
(This was the last tourney before the birth of my first child. I made everyone aware that there wouldn't be that much poker in the upcoming years)
