Poker on the Brain

If I am not playing poker then chances are I thinking about poker in some way. My latest idea is that I want to start hosting a regular game at my house. But before I do that I want to have just the right poker table and chips. Sure I have a table and chips now but the table is just one of those fold-up tables (nothing too fancy) and the chips are just a basic set of white, blue, black ceramic like chips with no values on them.
I want a badass poker table and a badass set of real clay chips. I'm all about the accessories!!!! I'm going to post a picture of the table that i want. What do you think? I can have them make it without the cup holders. Or here is the really crazy idea: Dawne and I are thinking of building it ourselves!!!! I have the plans and I think we can do it! If we decide to do it I will post our progress on this blog.
I've been collecting poker chips for few months now and I have recently aquired some antique chips on Ebay. I also bought a copy of the original United States Patent that was submitted by Harrahs for the poker chip as we now know it. Like I said if I'm not playing poker then I'm thinking about poker!!!
My next tourny is on August 23rd. It's the $230 at Coushatta again. I'll be staying for the weekend and playing some $2/$5 cash games on Sunday. In the meantime I might venture back to Pokerstars. I swore to myself that I was finished with online poker but I keep getting sucked back in....and then sucked out on! Why cant' I win online???? I do pretty well live, I even drop down in linits when I play online but still no cashes to speak of.
