funny, looks like my craps set...
@Seeking Alpha Social Club how's your retirement working out for you?
Seem to be handing out a lot of these lately
yeah, but I'm not gonna complain about price from the good old days
I actually LOVE it!! I have had 2 relapses, but I gotta tell you, I love not checking For Sale or Auction adds every day to be sure I'm not missing out. Oh yeah, and I have absolutely positively saved a few thousand dollars on chips I would have previously bought. AND, I know I have enough friends that they will give me a heads up if TRK Rounders or Deadwoods come for sale!!

I'm actually enjoying it so much that I am contemplating selling off more. HOWEVER, for anybody contemplating PMing me in advance, please don't waste your time. I ABSOLUTELY will do a solid for anybody who has ever done me a solid or I am friends with...so don't worry, if I sell anything I know you are interested in....you will have first dibs!!
So that's a long way of saying....retirement is AWESOME my friend!!
honestly, the thing that made me realize things were different for me was when I realized I hadn't checked the classifieds in a while.I actually LOVE it!!

that's good advice and I plan on prioritizing meet-ups going forward. Maybe I'll get better at poker along the way and they won't be a total loss.It’s easy!
You try and attend as many meet ups as you can and spend time with like minded friends.
If there happened to be another set out there that I desired as much as the ones that I currently own, I’d still be in the game.
The absolute best part of this hobby is the people you meet and befriend along your journey. Over time, when I look back, it’s amazing to me thinking about all the places where I’ve gotten to sit and splash pots with these friends.
I look at it from a point of just because I’m not hunting chips down anymore to complete sets doesn’t mean I’m not involved in the hobby. There are still some chips (stragglers/diamonds in the ruff) out there that will turn up and I’d buy or possibly work out a trade for.
There’s also members/friends that are working on things important to them that I still try and keep an eye out for and there are still many people I still hope to meet in person at some point. @liftapint being at the top of my long list. Love you Mel.
Just because my hunting days are more or less over at this point doesn’t mean my passion for poker with like minded friends is. This hobby as a whole has been an AMAZING journey for me, I wouldn’t be in the place I’m currently in in life had it not been for being involved in this hobby.
At times, I’m very turned off by the course of some things, but in the end, it’s not enough to keep me from wanting to go to the next meet up and spend time with friends NEW AND OLD.
Finding chipping through my passion for poker guided me to where I am at this exact moment in time and I know unequivocally it’s exactly where I’m supposed to be.

At least you’ll be drinking great liquor and smoking fine cigars.
Win Win!
Okay, that was one of my two missteps. Hopefully done...although, would have spent more on others...LOL.
LOL...One of my greatest scenes ever. Definitely one of my top 3 favorite movies ever!!
And... this damn movie was responsible for many broken bones in my dumb ass youth. As it turns out, NOBODY can ride a windshield of a speeding car no matter how invincible you think you are. WHO KNEW??
OIs that you Kevin?
Dude, it was WAY less successful then that dude. It went something like:Is that you Kevin?
After over a decade of chipping…this 100%It’s easy!
