My Mr. Chip WSOPs all set up

BrettButter · #1 (**permalink**) 01-09-2007, 12:58 PM

I posted the pics in the GB Photos thread, but I took a couple more pictures today of them all set up and ready to go for a small tournament tonight. I put out 10 places, but will probably only have 6 people or so. I'm just anxious to get to use these chips! I figured you guys like pics, so why not add some more

Cheapie table, $79.99 from ****'s

Starting stack T10,000, 25x12, 100x12, 500x9, 1000x4 (purple FC for bounty chip)

Hey look, 9-4 suited on the button.

mmmmmm, blinds

I tripled up the first hand vs. A-2 and a smaller flush. (This isn't an actual game, I just dealt it out, then needed a reason to splash the pot)

My friend, you may need an intervention...don't play poker alone!! Oh wait a minute, I do that too sometimes

Very cool chips. Those look like some pretty healthy starting stacks (I wish I could talk my group into large stacks

). I hope the rest of the evening went well for you.

Just a reminder: it is not healthy to play with yourself, take pics of it, and post them on the internet.

The starting stack is T10,000, and it took some getting used to since my friends are used to playing T1,000.

My friends seemed to like the chips, all though one person said he hated them. Not because of the chips, but because he usually does well when playing at my house, and I knocked him out this time

We did a 7-man $5 buy-in + $1 bounty tournament last night. It was down to two people, and I had 5 bounty chips, my other friend had 2. He had 35,100 in chips and I had 34,900 in chips (our closest game ever!) and we split the main pot.

I am having another game tonight, woohoo! The chips were a big hit, and I love them. Well worth the money (in my mind, my friends don't understand..YET!)

I have my tournament set in these Mr. Chips, I have my cash game set in my FCs, so my next step is an amazing table, and maybe a bigger room to put it in

Thanks for all the comments!

You may have to get used to the fact that your friends may never understand spending more than 5¢ per chip. I have some TR Kings that I use as often as posible and some of the guys still prefer the old 11.5g dice chips we were using over a year ago. As long as you enjoy them, that is all that matters.

Sweet setup, I've been thinking about geting a set of these.

I have 300 of these and they are nice chips. The colors and patterns are spot on. You have a nice setup, and it is nice to see you using good cards and big 37-chip starting stacks. Now all you need is a better table, real bounty chips, a custom button, and a second set for the cash games afterwards set out on a side table (just kidding your stuff is great).
