[Greg Susong]

Let my introduce myself. My name is Greg Susong and I operate thechipboard.com, a discussion board for casino chip collectors. For the last year and a half we have been having weekly poker tournaments for our group. You can find info about them here:

I got an email from Greg Cagle today and he said that this group was having weekly tournaments also. He suggested that we try to let each other's users know about our tournaments. Sounded good to me, so here I am telling you all about it. If any of you are interested, check out the rules at the link above and join us. We'd love to have you.

How do you guarantee the money that is for the WSOP?
Does pokerstars hold on to it?

[Greg Susong]

That is one of the reasons that it is for CCGTCC members only. We are bound by a strict code to deal fairly with other members. Andy Hughes holds the money until the end of the tournament.

Really a great idea.

Greg, it's an honor to have you on this board . . . welcome!

Thanks for all you do for the rest of us chip collectors and general chip geeks. The Chip Guide is one of the best resources out there, plus your other boards of course.

Cheers!

Tom

Again, welcome to our home Greg. I hope we can get a little mingling going on, a bigger pot each week will make it a lot more fun. (not that I ever see any of it )

I'll go invite chippers to our game now...

There's the link to become a member of the Casino Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club.

I say you donate the money to a charitable cause... such as the Boris Fund.

Yeah, we can start collecting to send a chiptalker to the WSOP... Yeltzen would you hold the money for us?

I may be a bit biased, but for $20 annually, membership into the Casino Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club, Inc. (CCGTCC, Inc.) is one of the best deals around.

The Club is a not-for-profit (501 3c compliant, tax exempt) organization established as a educational group fostering the preservation and documentation of gaming collectibles. In my mind there three significant aspects about CCGTCC, Inc. membership.

1. Our Code of Ethics
2. Our annual Convention and Show (4 days in Las Vegas!)
3. Our Award winning quarterly publication the "Casino Chip and Token News".

Several of our ChipTalk members are CCGTCC, Inc. members, as well as several representatives/owners of the various chip manufacturing concerns.

With respect to the weekly poker tournament, please note that it is NOT endorsed by, nor governed by the CCGTCC, Inc. It was established by three CCGTCC, Inc. members for participants of The Chip Board discussion forum, who are mostly CCGTCC, Inc. members.

In the aftermath of a "crasher" to our earlier PokerStars games, it was decided to require players to be CCGTCC, Inc. members. (At that time we were playing on PokerStars, but we also had bounties (casino chips) and our Code of Ethics managed the honesty, but that only applied to members. So, we made membership a requirement.)

Our current, in-progress tournament is called The Chip Board Road to the World Series of Poker, because we are hopefull to land one of our players into the WSOP Game(s) in 2006! Please visit this link to see the details of how that will work: http://www.nevadacasinochips.com/The...ldSeriesII.htm

Last night (4 January, 2006) we completed game #6. We had 37 players and paid out 1st-5th place ($288 - $57). 19 games remain, which will determine the top nine finishers, who will then play a final game to determine the lone winner to enter the PokerStars $1500 event.

Everyone is welcome, however CCGTCC, Inc. membership is required.
All weekly games are $22. Our Final table event (the top nine finishers from all prior games) will be $55.

I hope to see you there.
