Thanks guiness...I need to get all of those together and take a pic of them.

Still a work in progress as the ceiling, trim, and floor aren't done, but it's the all-purpose basement. We have since added a couple more TVs (4 total) and remote monitors for Tournament Director (3).

Thanks for the compliments!

The long side wall is insulated, the garage door is insulated and the windows on the garage door are tinted. That along with 2 potable a/c units and the two ceiling fans help keep the temps down around 78 degrees in there.

I have recently hooked up with an A/C guy who is looking for a used or inexpensive Split a/c unit so I can get rid of the portable units and have a more permanent fix for cooling the room down.

Hey Shadow520, what chips are you using for the tournament? Awesome set up, looks like you have main tables, a featured table, and the final table setup like wsop.

Wow I wish Shadow520 lived in NH. Your room is very practical. I love the dog machine, soda machine...and of course the Donkey Kong. How frequent are your games that can command that head count?

Those are my ceramic customs designed by KMalsom and made by PI. The table setup has evolved. I started with those fold-up table tops and have since built 2 custom tables. I plan to do another this summer.

I do tournaments about every 4 weeks Sept-May. It's a 9 event season ($65 buy in includes the food and drinks ($5) and bounty ($5), plus ToC fund ($10)), plus a ToC (which is a "freeroll", but only players that have cashed at a season event are eligible to play) at the end. We started 5 years ago with 19 players. The record so far is 62. That event there had about 60, IIRC. We fluctuate now between 45 and 55 mostly.

The food/drink certainly puts it in a grey area, here in MI too. Our law reads that private poker games, held in a private residence, are legal "as long as no one makes money, except as a player". I reimburse myself for actual expenses, so short of not offering the food/drink, it's as legal as I can make it. But the players all love it and is part of the reason it grew like it did.

Of course, I also live around the corner from the Deputy Police Commissioner, and he said as long as no one is puking on his front lawn he doesn't have a problem with it!
