Thanks again Rose. I'll take a snapper from where ever you go, P & TY.

Too easy.

(To be posted to CT & HPT)

We'll be headed out in a couple hours, heading to Victories Casino in Petoskey, Michigan tonight, The Island in Harris, Michigan tomorrow, and Caesars Indiana in Elizabeth, Indiana on Friday or Saturday. Just making sure I have everything correct; please PM me any corrections to the following:

The 2007 Midnight Rose Yooper Poker Tour and Siesta chip requests

Wedge Rock: Full Island/Victories $5 and under set; plus $1 and fractionals and any odd denoms ($2, $2.50, $3, $4) from CI

Tato2k: 2x all $1s plus any fractionals from all three casinos

MID/Ryder8: Snappers from anywhere (and BJs for MID)

rimmerryan: .50¢ & $1 from The Island

Plus $1 from each casino for Detroitdad, Sharksypoker, littlebu, k9dr, cigarherb

...right?

God that sounds like a trip I should be on.

Slight shift: we're not riding our bikes to Indianapolis today after all, and instead of Caesars Indiana on (which we've been to already), we're going from Indianapolis toward Cincinnati, to Argosy Casino on Saturday instead. I have a .50¢ and $1 (both Paulson) from them, thought I'd complete the set and check out their poker room. Any $1 and $2.50 "from any casino" requests are good; anybody wanting anything else (or not wanting chips from this particular casino) should speak up. I'll be taking my computer, but may not be able to get online, so I'm going with the requests I had before.

Thanks for picking up a few chips for all of us...

If you are able to, I would also take 4 of the $.25 chip from the Argosy and a couple of the $.50 chips.

Thanks again and let us know how the trip was.
Ride carefully!

I don't think they have the quarters anymore, but I'll ask. A partial trip report for the casinos I've been to so far and my brain-dead play at The Island, is up here on HPT. Be forewarned though; it's a "I suck at poker" story. But at least it's not a bad beat story.

Emjoy !

Argosy definitely does not have .25¢ chips - I almost had to pop the pimples off some pre-pubescent toddler working the cage over this fact - and they're treating their .50¢ chips like they"re gold too. The snappers, on the other hand, are apparently being served to hungry bar patrons as if they're potato chips. I was able to get the best ones of each of these denoms (along with a $5 for me & Wedge and about 20 $1s). More trip details are in my trip report over at HPT, for those interested. All in all, though, I had a good bout of chip harvesting this trip, with a few hands of well-played poker mixed in with donkitis, oh well. I'll post the details of who has what and what's left for my trader stock, when I get home tomorrow.

(Also posted at HPT):

We're officially done with our pretty cool vacation (my trip report is here, if you haven't read it yet). I'll be PM'ing each of the people who wanted chips from me in a minute, and will update my trader's gallery as soon as I can, but this is what I have left over for now:

Victories Casino: six $1 chips.

The Island: six $1 chips, one "variation a" .50¢ chip, and nine "variation b" .50¢ chips
(I couldn't get confirmation from the casino, but the "variation a" .50¢ was the same one that's listed at Chipguide, and matches the $1 and $5; "variation b" appears to be a newer chip, with a different design. I couldn't find any other chips that looked like it, either. Weird).

Argosy Casino: five $1 chips and one $2.50 chip.
