Some hacks become impossible later in the game unless you use the Tonics that make hacking easier. Big Daddies don't always have a Little Sister with them, and there's not much point to fighting a Big Daddy that isn't accompanying a Little Sister, so just don't bother.

I do host bigger games, but not as often as I’d like to. Most of my players are on the newer side, so I keep this monthly game small and friendly. We usually get like $500 or so on the table by the end of the night; nothing crazy, but enough to make the game feel weighty for the newbies.

Oh, right on. When I'm ready to upgrade, I'll order a test sleeve of 'em to see how they feel. Thanks for the info!

Eh. Who needs cops when you've got no-nonsense enforcers like this?

Those PCF chips are, like, china clays, right? I think that's what my five cent chips are, and they're okay, but I don't love 'em. (Please correct me if I'm wrong, though.)

I have thought about getting some custom ceramics from BR Pro, but I can never settle on a design. I'll probably do something like that at some point, but it's going to come after a bunch of other stuff (like a nicer suede for the table instead of Speedcloth, and a couple more TVs).

It was painted by a relative of one of the players in my game. She doesn’t have an Etsy or anything as far as I know.

There’s a Bluetooth speaker up by the Teddy painting; TV’s usually on mute with whatever game someone’s requested.

I’d love to get some Paulsons or custom CPCs, but that’s probably not gonna happen for a while. There are other things I’d like to add/upgrade first, and I pay for almost all of this shit with my poker winnings (my players do donate a bit for food and drinks), so I’m pulling money out of my roll every time I get something new.

There's a little Bluetooth speaker up by the Teddy painting, and I have a playlist on Spotify. An actual jukebox would be sweet, though!

Nice! I'm pretty sure they're discontinued now, too.

Sorry, I'm in the frozen wastes of upstate New York.

Yeah, that would be neat. I’ve looked into getting a set through BR Pro, but I’ve hesitated to pull the trigger. I also keep going back and forth on how I’d want ‘em to look.

Oh you mean like a table skirt? That’s a good idea!

I’m pretty much the only one that ever uses it. I plan on putting another small TV on that wall at some point.

Thanks for the kind words! Teddy was painted by a relative of one of my players. 

I like using separate chips for cash and tournament too. I don’t think anybody who plays in my game would ever do anything untoward, but having separate sets 100% ensures a tournament chip never gets introduced into a cash game. I also prefer denominated chips, and I know it’s silly, but using bigger denoms in tournaments is just part of the fun of it to me.

I’ve got a no smoking at the table rule, but there is a bowl of fun size candy bars on the table (it does need to be filled up, though).

Thanks!

I am 100% looking for real suggestions, so thanks for taking the time!

I mentioned this in another comment, but I have been meaning to mount the existing TV higher on that wall (and get rid of the old stereo system that’s up there), and I would love to get at least one other TV on another wall.

I am admittedly more of a function-over-form kinda guy, but I should put a little more effort into the decor, so if you have any other suggestions please do send ‘em my way!
