I like them so much more than the original fracs I think I'll have to keep themDibs on the orange ND chips when you decide to sell.

Those are neat signs for the different games! Where did you get them made?

There have been a few different group-buys for these over the years. A WTB post here might be able to shake a set loose until someone runs a new group buy.
Man, I am disappointed.
Last game at the Professor's Game I've been attending and it ended badly. Backstory, I worked at an institute and heard a professor played in a home game, got an invite, and have been enjoying a great relaxed .50/.50 $50 buyin dealer's choice game. 7card stud, 5 card draw, hold'em. Very profitable and relaxed game. I usually ended up being the one dictating action. I'm not shouting over everyone but I have to keep track of the action; its no-limit and everyone splashes the pot/string bets/bets for less than the last raise so someone has to keep track, when people get confused they look to me and I have to know where things stand.
An old tennis friend of the host came and brought his own bottle of Eagle Rare, downed over half of it over the course of the game/story. He was yelling over everyone, often with the wrong bet amounts. Figured out I was from Jersey and was busting my chops from the beginning. I let it go but was losing and generally annoyed at him. I only spoke up when he was wrong about who owed what or where the action was. This annoyed him, and so I was on his radar. I wasn't gonna yell over him but a wrong bet is a wrong bet, and of course when he realized he was wrong it was because I had lost control of the table. Me, the random guy who folded preflop and was just correctiing where action started on 6th St. I wasn't blameless, I was definitely annoyed at him and made that clear while responding to his wrong directions.
By the end I saw the two older gentlemen turn their hearing aids off. Guy next to me was dealing, loud mouth was yelling again and I said chill let him deal, action is on X. Too much. "Who the fuck is this guy?" and getting aggressive, standing up. Host wanted us to stay but there's no coming back from that, I cashed out for a small loss. Not worth the risk of a fight or worse, we only had an hour left to go anyways then we'd both be walking to our cars. Better to skeedaddle.
I feel bad for my part and that I won't see those players again, moving away in a week, but glad there was no fight or further confrontation. Host is coming to my game on Friday and will debrief there.
Bummer. Oh well, gotta overthink every little interaction now.
Old picture from my first time there. I've since upgraded the cards to Bicycle Prestige, no luck on the chips.

Bah, who needs 'em. You're going to be within driving distance of no less than three really solid home games with real poker tables, plastic cards, and clay chips within weeks.

Angry, disruptive drunks are the worst.
Gosh that's going to be a shock. I'll miss my baby beginner games down here and good friends but excited to be at a game where I don't need to explain every street.
Agreed on both counts. I don't mind a loud jovial drunk but this got exhausting and I was not the only one. Happy I am home safe but just bummed, venting to y'all who know what its like being the only one at the card table who knows what the bet is while 4 people yell at each other.

Another month, another NYC 1-2 NLH home game at Petrovsky’s this week! This time featuring a chip gobbling starfish rock
. Players are also getting more acclimated to PLO with our capped DB PLO bomb pots, so it seems like that will continue going forward. Hoping to share more pics in September!

Those manhole covers were great to shuffle on their maiden voyage. Back to shuffling Fun Nites for future games.

Bustin' out my new capper for the Friday night game. TY @LordDarthAce
Where are the rest of your cards?!? This photo MUST BE mid-deal.
Faantastic game. Had a few big pot wins and bluff catches early on, ended up down quite a bit throwing a party for everyone else. As a happy host it was a win, 0 complaints here. Might be the last time I see most of the players so I'm fine giving some parting gifts and calling with 3rd pair. I love the ability to host and bring people together and all have fun, makes me very happy.
Player inquired about buying my table and chairs and honestly I'm considering it. Heading to a place with less room in my place, more local games, and then I wouldnt have to move it and potentially damage it. Hmm.
Great having @KingWithTheAxe at the game, great guy who was down heaps and clawed it all back for a good win. He left me with a badass sample set from Vegas past, thanks man. My photography is shit these are so cool.
Went in a different direction tonight.
Still a blast, dog roller in play, and did you know these slushie machines make outstanding frozen margaritas??
First batch was traditional, this batch is mango, both were amazing!
In for $0 out for $0

It was nice to get the new set in play an hour away from where they were originally used. And always great to get the old crew of more than 25 years together.
I love that these pics are chronological, and that I can see my stack in the background getting bigger and bigger! And damn, I didn't realize you had a Moonlight chip with you. One of my all-time favorite custom sets. Would have enjoyed fondling that. Although then we might have had another "nutting" incident...Nutty game last night
Route66 is the nuts.
Also, why does anyone play Archie when Veronica exists?
