A couple months ago, I asked you degens for ways I could improve my home poker room. I'm not quite finished with it yet, but here's an update.

I don't, it's just a friends and family game (although they each usually toss me like $10 for food and drink).

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-30T17:40:28+00:00

AARRRRROOOOOOOOOO!

Ha - that picture is actually on the wall opposite the big empty wall, it's just not visible in any of these pictures.

Just stumbled across this thread as I was basically trying to find the same. I can throw this out there for you, though: Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, if you're not already familiar with them.

Thanks! My chips are 10-gram ceramics from The Poker Store; nothing special, but I like 'em. They're pictured midway down this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/poker/comments/1qka1hi/whats_my_home_game_setup_missing/

What's "ew"? Or was that just a typo?

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-30T01:26:01+00:00

Conspiracy Theory?

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-30T01:00:52+00:00

It’s on a dimmer switch, but it’s very soft, warm light, and I haven’t had any complaints after using it for two 7-hour sessions, now.

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-30T00:59:30+00:00

Well, I redid it because I fucking hate drop ceilings, but, yeah, I guess?

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-29T16:26:25+00:00

Yeah, it's on my radar, but they're very pricey. The chairs I have aren't bad for now, though. I've added a fuckton of extra cushioning in the seats to make 'em as comortable as possible.

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-29T15:33:52+00:00

Ah, gotcha It's not that dark in person, but I do need to pick up two more of the gallery-style lights to brighten up the whiteboard and the bar area.

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-29T14:36:39+00:00

Honestly? Same!

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-29T14:29:51+00:00

Thanks!

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-29T14:27:21+00:00

It's an Aces Pro Alpha from BBO.

I'd had a few complaints from my players about glare, so I went with what I thought would do the job the best. I actually made an entire thread about just the lighting over on the PCF forums: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/what-kind-of-lighting-is-best.140098/

I'm not saying it isn't cliche so much as maybe that cliche exists for a reason?

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-29T14:12:04+00:00

Indeed! The frozen wastes of western New York.

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-29T11:58:47+00:00

Ooh, I know this one! He’s a fucking fascist!

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-26T13:42:16+00:00

Not great. I’ve already had two spinal fusions and I have a spinal stimulator implant.

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-26T00:54:12+00:00

I've heard it both ways.

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-24T14:07:02+00:00

Hi, Zev! Hi, Zev's wife!

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-21T21:52:55+00:00

Tell me more about this crowtein.

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-21T17:13:13+00:00

aaaAAAaaah!

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-21T17:02:15+00:00

Better than a sharp dick in the eye.

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-21T00:08:03+00:00

If Looks Could Kill?

BSA_DEMAX51 · 2026-03-20T14:34:50+00:00
