What did i get myself into? (1 Viewer)

[dazoki]

Hello PCF, been lurking for a few months and have grown to really enjoy this community knowing full well that a new addiction (healthy?!?) may be forming.

Long time dice chip user with a group of friends who have been playing together for almost 20 years. Mostly dealer choice cash games but lately trying to get into a tourney rhythm to further enjoy the strategy and math of NLHE and PLO.

Some of my first purchases influenced by PCF was a cash set of NJ Skulls (yes - i got samples but was impatient and could not wait for Tina), a copag deck and a poker mat which triggered a ton of positive reviews by all. Hoping it gets us together more often as we age.

My next goal is a tourney set - and you all are making it very….very difficult to make a choice =).

Sharing some pron cause from what i have read - some of ya’ll like that kind of stuff =).

…forgot to mention the newly purchased apache case - wife thought i was prepping for an apocalypse when she saw it in the house. Thanks again to all that recommended them.

Welcome! What mat is that? Do you like it?

welcome to PCF. I still have a tourney set of about 1850 NJ Skulls. Actually think they are a better chip than Tina's chips.

Welcome! What mat is that? Do you like it?

Found it on Amazon - it’s called the “Pure Bluff” Poker Mat.

Its better then playing on non-mat surfaces for sure but i could not tell you if it’s better then other mats. I used it to play outside in the backyard on a long metal table that has holes. I also use it as a travel mat when others host as we don’t often play in the same spot two times in a row - i like that the cards glide, the black is a nice contrast to chips and cards. It’s got a grippy bottom so it does not move. It has survived numerous spills, a surprise thunderstorm, and tons of cigar ash so i am pretty happy with it. I hose it down and roll it up and it’s good for the next game.

Amazing! Thx for sharing.

Something i learned on my research across this forum…it starts with chips but then there are the tables, the fellt, the cards, the buttons, did i say chips?, chip storage, large wooden boxes fulll of mystery..etc etc.

I recently bought my second car (Prius for commuting) and it is gonna end up being cheaper than my leaded Vegas set when I finish it. Be careful...I once told myself I would only pay maximum $1/chip for chips. We can see how that turned out for me lol

Welcome & enjoy!

Good luck on finishing that set - i think they outlive the prius!!

I also said no more then 50 cent a chip and then i saw the vulgar NJ skulls and said…this is fine.

Haha I’ll finish it I know who has the chips and know nobody else is looking for them. As I am the only one with a playable set to my knowledge. I know some others have a few racks of the 50¢ and $1’s but not enough to be playable. It’ll be like a $10K set when I tilt finish it and acquire all the racks out there. But it will be in the will passed down to my future children or brothers kids and will for sure outlive my Prius haha
