PNY's getting the job done!

MasterBrewer · #1 (**permalink**) 04-08-2006, 02:20 PM

Just wanted to let everyone know I put my new PNY's in play for the first time last night in my post-tournament 1/2 NL ring game, and they brought me some great cards and luck!

Good News: Ended up +$440 for the night
Bad News: Noone else really noticed / appreciated the chips!

Oh well, I'd rather it go that way then the other way around (everyone loves the chips and end up down for the night)

So who went home minus $440? How many people in this game? $1/$2 NL, that's quite a haul I would think.

We were 9 handed. And yeah, I was definitely the big winner of the evening. One guy went home somewhere around -$600 or so, and everyone else basically were all slightly up/down. He was a friend of a friend, and ultra-LAG. He basically played every hand (many for raises) and I basically just caught cards at good times and my hands managed to hold up against him.

At one point he busted out, bought in for $100 (the max buy in), busted out on the very next hand, and then bought in for another $100 and went all in AGAIN the next hand. Noone called him the second time, but it was just plain crazy.

I guess he is an orthopedic surgeon and definitely can spare some cash, so I didn't feel bad when I made sure to get his email address to invite him back next month!

Wow, from what I've read elsewhere here, be careful of these friends of friends joining your games....I've heard nothing but bad bad stories about how that works out down the road. Especially when you are talking that kind of money coming through your front door.

Thanks for the concern... I'm normally pretty wary of that kind of situation, but this was an instance where the guy is well known by a good friend of mine, so I wasn't too concerned. It was cleared with me beforehand... plus this is a guy who lives in a $5-$7 million house and probably brings in a salary in the high 6 figures, so I'm not sure he would put that all on the line for the $1500 I had in my pocket. I have also heard from my friend that his weekly golf foursome routinely bets $300-500 a hole, so clearly he just loves action.... Must be nice

Like I said, I will happily invite him back any time without any guilt!

Nice job, the PNY also help the game for me as well. Must be a mental thing or they just feel really good doing tricks with and shuffling.

I hope they drop a lot. I'd like to pick up 25 for my set, but my limit it $10 each - I may never get another one. I picke up a sample set with a $1K chip for twenty some-odd dollars about six months ago.

BTW, last Sat we had a 21 man tourny with the PNYs, and I managed third. Everybody seemed to like the chips.
