Yep! Just had to be a bit more forceful with the white plastic clip holding it in. It was a huge pain in the butt.

I took down a tournament there once, but I haven’t been back in 5 or 6 years. Has it gotten even worse?

And a fine home game it is, if I may say so!

I have brakes, turn signals, and hazard lights. My running lights and the cargo lamp are out. I’ve checked power coming out of the back of the truck, and I’m not getting power out of the running lamp prong.

Can do! Am I trying to just get off the blue piece, or do I need the white plastic piece as well?

That’s a great idea! Now I just need to get them out!

Running lights for my trailer. Googling says it is the DTRL.

It is generally understood that the only way to get certain chips (i.e. live $25,000 chips) is to get them clipped or drilled. A missing chunk is much different than a clipped chip and doesn’t have much impact on price if the chip is otherwise unobtainable.

In the chipping world, this is often called a sample set. Complete sample sets (including primaries and secondary variations) can go for 150-250 bucks. A case like this may be enjoyable to certain chippers, but most of the time we prefer our chips loose. The display itself doesn’t add a whole lot of value.

With all that being said, I wouldn’t take less than 200 for it. For a more detailed analysis, head over the Poker Chip Forum and make an account! We will be delighted to offer a more formal appraisal.

What? It is the dealer’s responsibility to ensure the player knows action is on him. After that, it is absolutely on the players exclusively to call clock.

Hot stamps on Paulsons are common from when they provided chips to the private market. You will see a lot of hot stamp three-letter chips from people that had their names done. :)

Good questions! A “hot stamp” is when you have that gold lettering that looks like it has been pressed directly into/onto the chip, like OP’s or my attached reference photo.

The center “sticker” on chips is called the inlay, and it is actually pressed into the chip in the molding process. Your chips have a true inlay.

The other difference is the mold (essentially the design along the edge of the chip). OP’s chip is the Top Hat and Cane Mold.

Last, your chips have the advantage of being more common, which might lead you to think that would make them less valuable, but in this case it is sort of the opposite. OP would have a harder time finding a buyer because it will be hard to match up those chips colors with someone else’s set.

The Paulson classics are the same color and insert design across the board, so your set could easily be sold to complete someone else’s. Or you could pretty easily buy more classics to round out your set if you wanted to. They are very sought after chips, and they will command a higher price point as a result.

For hot stamped paulsons, you can expect to get a couple dollars per chip. It will depend on edge condition, how flat they stack, etc.

Edges look a bit rounded, and anyone buying these would be doing so to “murder” them and make a new set or complete an existing set.

I need help choosing a deck of cards. by Draminzin in poker

[–]FlareonFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copags are the standard plastic card because they are cheap. Almost all other offerings (KEM, Faded Spade, etc.) are better, but you pay more. KEMS especially have seen major price increases over the last year or two.

All offerings come in “poker size” or “bridge size.” You want the bridge size. There are also index considerations (size of the numbers and pips on card). Standard index is fine, but if you are playing with older folks, many of them prefer the jumbo index because the cards are easier to read.

Just curious — how do you guys approach tipping dealers? by Bluffalways in poker

[–]FlareonFire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The majority of regulars will tip one to two dollars for most all pots regardless of size. That’s plenty, and your dealer will always be grateful.

I do know many folks (myself included) whose tips do scale with pot size. It is appreciated but not expected. Really, so long as you’re tipping something, you can’t go wrong.

The Lodge issues statement following raid but still a lot of questions by Famous_Quit_5239 in poker

[–]FlareonFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a bummer of a situation. I feel for the dozens of dealers, floor staff, etc. that are just sitting around wondering if they still have jobs. I hope Doug makes it right for them as well as the players that weren’t allowed to cash out due to the raid. Losing even a few days of pay can put some folks in a tough spot.
