Re: Best structure for a home game with 8-10 people, about 2 hours

I use the "standard" T1000 schedule on HomePokerTourney.com
with rebuys during the first 3 levels and 15 minute blinds and tourneys last 2.5-3 hours with some as short as 2 hours depending on how...

Re: My fellow workers bet on five card draw heads up, ten dollars a ha

I periodically play 7 card stud variations with some of my co-workers where they normally have a "few" wild cards. I still don't know if 7-of-a-kind beats a straight flush....

Re: Etiquette/Rules of Order Question

TomHimself gave you the answer..."He who bet shows first."

The last person to take aggressive action (bet or raise) is the first person to show cards. After that, action proceeds to the left of...

Re: Which size cards do you prefer.

I know most casinos use bridge size. Don't care. They feel like "toy" cards...but then again I'm 6'4" and 255 lbs. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: too aggressive here?

Entity,

This type of situation is not uncommon....flush draw with a somewhat raggedy board but the BB play on the flop makes it interesting. I think I misplay these types of hands more often than...

Re: All seven chips will be offered WITH or WITHOUT denoms.

Ten,

I'm not a computer artist or drafting person so maybe you or J5 can explain why Trademark needs $1,650 to do artwork that has been substantially completed already? At $50/hr that would mean...

Re: Finance a home game\'s new table? Opinions?

No contributions should be solicited except for food & beverage. I would consider it bad form.

Re: Pharaoh\'s Club Paulson chips - Pre-Order Thread

Good points relative to the "house" design. But if the Pharoah Paulsons are limited to only the group buy or are otherwise only available "while supplies last" after the group buy, then is it really...

Re: Pharaoh\'s Club Paulson chips - Pre-Order Thread

Wholesalers and retailers serve different purposes. Many companies are structured to work through retailers while others (like Dell computers) are structured to sell direct. Wholesalers who rely on...

Re: *** GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT THIS GROUP BUY!

Nice job with everything. The combination of denoms with 3 blanks can accommodate any cash/tourney setup. Very nice! BTW, my favorite chip has to be the blue one!

The wholesaler pricing seems...

Re: Pharaoh\'s Club Paulson chips - Pre-Order Thread

Re: Card Shuffler Recommendations?

Iron,

I agree. They are actually slower. My brother-in-law got a typical home-use shuffler and a couple of cards always seemed to get stuck or something. Once the novelty wore off (which took...

Re: Pharaoh\'s Club Paulson - Blue $1 or White $1 chip?

I've been handling my sample set for a week. The white chip is covered with color "scuff marks" from repeated shuffling with other chips. The checking on the edge is more pronounced because the...

Also, I'd prefer them to take "paulson chips" off the outside and just have the H&C.

Re: Pharaoh\'s Club Paulsons - A blank white or a blank orange?

Ten,

I think I voted having the white chip as the blank but I'm OK with have the orange chip as a blank. Even better was the post about having two orange inlays one blank and one with $1000. ...

Re: Pharaoh\'s Club Paulson - Blue $1 or White $1 chip?

I like your reasoning, except that the standard James Bond $1 chip is blue. The standard 50 cent chip is white.

I would prefer a 50 cent chip over the 25 cent. The 25 cent would typically be...

Re: Inlays and colors and denoms (1,000-1,250 chips)

Ten,

I am looking at 1,000 - 1,250 chips.

Nice job. I have to admit that I liked some elements of design #3 but I do agree that #2 meets the overall classic look much better. The watermark is...

You did a great job on the Egyptians! I really like the Chipco Suits as well although I can't remember who had the lead on those. However, I am currently leaning toward a clay chip. Thus...
