Re: Anyone ever lose chips after home game ?

Not yet... luckily as I didn't order any extras

Was worried a few weeks ago but after a 5 min search as we were breaking up I found it wedged in a corner as it apparently fell off the table and rolled a ways. The problem I have is you can just order one so exceeding face value in our cash games isn't really going to help me out.

I agree in general as I've yet to run in to another chip enthusiast in our home game atmosphere.

Re: Anyone ever lose chips after home game ?

I have a poker tourney usually once a month before the UFC fights. Over the last year about 25 chips have gone missing!
We usually play a tourney with one rebuy. Sometimes we play cash games.
The chips I use are composite wpt Bellagio chips. Nothing special, but 25 chips!?
I have looked everywhere for them with no success. There are a solid group of regular players, with a few floaters now and then.
Who Knows?

Re: Anyone ever lose chips after home game ?

Wow, 25 chips is hard to imagine. I have a pretty solid group of people that I trust. They love my chips, so they treat them good, but every now and then a friend of theirs comes.

Re: Anyone ever lose chips after home game ?

None missing yet. Although a St. Jo's $25 broke in someone's hand when playing a cash game (using the 25's as quarters). It was already pretty badly cracked, but funny when it happend. I too save the TRK's and others for the regular crowd. I'd rather use my dusty old dice chips when a few newbies stop by.

Enough with the brag posts, Clipper.

I ran a tournament at another guy's house and used my Bellagios. One T1000 went missing. The host couldn't find it. This wasn't going to be a regular game so the likelihood of it being reintroduced was unlikely. If it isn't hopelessly lost in the basement, I think someone just wanted a souvenir. There was a rerun of one of the WPT events at the B on television while we played. Some players remarked how we were using the same chips.

Re: Anyone ever lose chips after home game ?

LOL! What happened to that crazy Clipper guy?

I think your souvenier notion is right-on relative to your missing 1k chip. Bummer. Same thing with my missing snapper too I fear.

Re: Anyone ever lose chips after home game ?

No issue for me once I switched to casino chips for my home game, I use face value chips.

Re: Anyone ever lose chips after home game ?

ive bought/buying pny's, and if someone takes one or some(doubt it because i hang around loyals), itz ok, me and some people will make them eat it, and we'll really find out if the lead in paulsons does harm you. an then ill get back to you guys on the conclusion of fact not what mite be.

i remember 3 years ago, i bought the jackpot casinos with the metal inlays and the suits around the track of the chip, and they were 120 for 500 at the time, and i was afraid to use it at my friends party. some went missing, but i think it was because people were drunk and the game slowly died off and chips were dropped on the ground.


i use to sell cheap chips before, some guy use to drop off a wack of cases at my house( from unspoken resources) and give me a good price for them. and one guy that always said he needed the best of things, always talked how he has alot of money and he go's to court in verace suits said he wanted a set, and he's like give me the best you got. so he comes to my house and im outside and he with 3 others guys and i said this is the best

and his friend goes out to the street light and says " YEP, THESE ARE REAL, THEY SAY LAS VEGAS", in my mind, im like f'in idiot.
and i told him i sell it for 320, but ill give it to him for 280(500pc), and at the time the stores sold it for 130 at mindgames. so he buy it and comes back and said, the guys like the chips, can i get another one, i said, ya but this time 320 at full price, he's says" ill get". the next day, he calls me and said some guy at the game said that those chips are cheap chips, and he explain to the guy that its real and it cost 280-320 for them. and the other guy said, no, these cost like 100 bucks in a game store. so he mad, and im like whatever, you know where i live.

i was young and i do straight business now, ask nanook,mykl316,m_farrar84 and jamby soon. i just wanted to share that true story with you, because i think its funny. people who brag, karma kickem in the ARse hole.
