Some pictures from last night $1/$2 stake game.

Gotten the bad end rotation of cards yesterday, I played 5 hours without having AA KK QQ AK AQ AJ even once which might be a first for me.

I do get a lot of middle and small pocket pair but apparently, I forget to bring my mining hat, I also got rivered a few times as well.

Was down $550 after first half of the session, a couple of successful river pot steal with nothing but blockers help to kickstart the comeback as I can notice the 2 biggest winners is chip locking much and losers are getting out of line more.

I managed to turn a nut flush before I rivered a Royal Flush (2nd of Year 2024) and won a $500+ pot but I only realise that I hit the Royal Flush after the hand so no pictures were taken.

I do capture a hand where Quad 2 get max value vs Boat 5.

In for $1000 Out for $905.

Overall, pretty happy to come out with a small loss all things consider.

How are you liking those Hustler chips? I bought a sample set and immediately didn't like them but it was because they were the first No mold chips I'd ever handled (not counting plastic chips). I've kept them out and shuffle them more & more and I think I'd actually like a set.

At that 30c price point, I think they are worth the money, but I will prefer Casino-Grade or Clay over Ceramic set if I have a choice and money is not the main concern.

I will suggest getting High Tourney Set (T100 and above set) or gimmick set like the one I got for Hustler since it will be well more expensive to get the high denomination in Clay/Plastic if you are considering a set on No Mold.

My gimmick "High Roller" set on the No mold tina chips, where we are playing at 1/100 face value ($25 = 25c)

They were actual pros, as there were like 4 "last calls" and it worked.

I told some people around noon yesterday that this game would prove if @Darson sitting next to me every game we play was inevitable. Being the 6th seat, I told him he was at Seat 7 as he was randomly drawing. Low and behold... inevitable.

Getting wordy so will just say Noir's are amazing. Some of my favorite chips mold and feel-wise as well.

Beavis with the stare-down that rivals @TricycleClub:

Ironic E likes his Noirs (as he should, I like them too) and yet in a very nice chip lineup the $5k is a tri moon. Everyone knows how much @MrCatPants loves tri moons….its such a great lineup then an ass wipe of a $5k
 
What a fantastic time. Second annual charity poker tournament in the books, raised $600+ due to the generosity of those on here, local shops, and a wide range of players we brought together. 18 in total with a few rebuys, $50 a pop and perfectly timed: 12:30 to 6, almost on the dot. Spent a long time playing 3 handed and ended up in 2nd. Very proud; played great, hit a straight flush to triple up when I needed it most, and had a blast. Good food, good friends. Lost a few suckouts but that's poker, won't belabor it with specifics.

Love the topper, love the chips, and love hosting poker games. What a blast. Huge shoutout to @KingWithTheAxe for lending me the second Barrington, made life a lot easier fitting onto 2 tables.

Regrets: Should've taken better pictures, and should've redrawn the seating once we combined to one table. One of the more competent players was on my left and knew how to use it. I can't complain much, 2nd place out of 18 is fine by me; its tough to win money when you're also buying the wife in!
