QOL … satisfying authentic home casino 3-card poker experience for the chilly days / nights and for us that have limited Mobility.

The intent of this post is “ of course “ a fun QOL casino experience but a “ very “ realistic and satisfying casino experience without traveling to a casino and / or spending gobs of gambling money. This will also set you up, experience wise, to go into any casino and play 3-card poker , expertly, as well. ( 3-card requires essentially no complicated mental work. It’s VERY simple to play )

This doesn’t use rinky dink gambling apps or one of those gambling sites that allow free use of their web based gambling site. ( tho the later can be a really good alternative ) and this method can be modified to fit the ( free ) online gambling experience. No cheesy plastic chips or Monopoly money etc. .

So …… you need : A pack or set of that ( very ) real looking $100 bills from Amazon ( $8 ), a good quality home card gambling poker chip set with “ real “ 11gm chips in the standard casino colors ( many people already have a chest of authentic poker chips and decks at home ). You need one of those ONO game card shuffler’s ( probably a lot of you already have this too if you had kids ) , $18 bucks on Amazon . Your smart phone or tablet ( or table top pc ) for playing authentic ambient casino sounds from YouTube , and displaying authentic 3-card pay outs ( there are many, it’s easier to just reference them on your device when a payout is in progress ).

Also you need snacks and a pitcher of Bloody Mary’s, beers …or whatever your favorite beverage is, delta-8 gummies highly recommend as well to heighten the fun experience.

I simply love playing mindless ( very easy ) 3-card poker but it can drain your wallet very quickly sometimes ( most of the time ? ). I love casinos too but since I’m in a wheelchair , traveling / weather can be problematic. You can win a couple thousand dollars , very quickly, sometimes and there is nearly a constant flow of small win payouts to keep it fun and active. If you are home in heavy winter weather ( we don’t have that here ) , you can do this and have the fun still … plus it makes a “ great “ fresh poker night for family and friends. The realistic fake money really ads authentic play.

This is the set-up: you have your ( inexpensive) card shuffler on the table…. One or two packs of standard cards , your real looking fake money split between players … You have “ casino ambient sounds “ streaming YouTube music/ sounds cued up on your phone or tablet ( you can upgrade this by “ casting “ your YouTube stream to your big screen TV / sound system ) and , of course, your chest of REAL poker chips to play with. The whole intention is to make this as realistic / satisfying as a real casino.

And finally serve your beverages to enhance the casino realism and tune up your own mental ambiance yayaya. I highly recommend delta gummies too.

I don’t recommend chinching on “ any “ of the accoutrements because the intention is “ satisfying realistic authenticity “. Real casino play, in your home without the zillions of dollars lost playing yayayayya. You only pass that “ satisfying realistic “ threshold..by using realistic play. ( no plastic chips, real poker chips with weight and heft ) , real ( looking - feeling ) money …. real casino ambient sounds

, shuffler etc. one to 9 people , or more, can enjoy this play at one time too. It’s worth every effort making this authentic, it’s very satisfying- rewarding … and you let your player/s keep the realistic money , if they win, to bring next time …..actually adding intrinsic value to the money.

Have fun brothers …

❤️❤️❤️

I’m a pretty serious gambler sometimes and it takes earnest play to be satisfying to me. I’ve discovered a point/ threshold , with 3-card .. this method , where it is actually satisfying and alleviates my need / desire to go the casino as much to play ( a high bar to be sure ) to enjoy this game fully … of course you can modify this as you want, but experiencing that place - point where it becomes casino level fulfilling, is well worth the effort.

What ADT did you use to bring down your PSA?

Thank you

Kaliber in reply to TJdog

Hi TJdog ….. I’m on Lupron Xtandi Zometa, started with 1400-1600 psa and been <0.1 for 60 months. The down side is that evidently I’m extremely sensitive to this treatment and I experience massive SEs that have pretty much put me in a wheelchair . I’m not complaining, of course , here I am, still kick’in it.

Looks like lots of fun and beats the casino. BTW tried my D8 gummies, kind of ambushed me with their potency. Hahahaha

Kaliber in reply to mrscruffy

Yea those aren’t kidding around. I usually mention trying a quarter or half first time out. Fun gummy ….

How did you like them ? Did you get the “ giggles “ with the delta -8 ? The hammer and I have laughed our bottoms off on those. We’ve tried literally all the delta gummies out , so far ….. and three observations we agree on are : delta8 had a strong uplifting mental effect and some pain management as well. The HHC gummies offer pretty strong pain mgt with a hefty stone tho. the combo of : a strong cbd gummy along with the delta8 - delta9-thcV gummies ( concurrently ) are also a good pain mgt mix ( possibly the best, so far ) . With all , you have a fun, strong , marijuana high.

I was laughing and then boom down for the count. Took an entire one and went to gym next morning with a little buzz on. Can't believe they are legal. Craziest thing, I have a friend that took 3 with no effect. Crazy

Kaliber in reply to mrscruffy

Lol , who wudda thought you could order something like that , legally , thru the mail or walk into a corner store ( like here ) and buy them OTC no questions asked.

I suspect states like Texas and Florida ( and others ) will act to restrict / prohibit those eventually. Too good to be true. They are literally perfect for aPCa guys like us.

You probably wouldn’t be surprised if I said I have some serious stoners in my circle of friends…. “ all “ of them praise ALL the species of delta gummies, not one saying they didn’t work yayahahahaya. If they hammer the Hammer , “ that’s “ saying something. ( tho she is likely to eat more than one at a time lol )

Thank you brother. I just recently ( last year or so ) discovered casino sites on the web that have “ absolutely “ authentic gaming machine play that has the same exact play as the machine on the casino floor. Of course slots are a “ one “ person enjoyment and these sites give you the money to play free as well. You can play popular casino machines like the Game King poker series, Buffaloes, Reel-em-in and my most favorite LobsterMan Larry.

In a casino , you can spend $1000 on Lobster Larry and never see the Larry bonus round. On these sites, they give you $1000 or $5000 or more free play ( as much as you want, any time you want ) and will give you as much free play as you want. These are great for home slot tournaments with friends , even better home play if you are “ rolling solo “ buddy. And like this posting, playing ambient casino sounds from YouTube, snacks - drinks etc …enhance the fun.

❤️❤️❤️

lol, thanks LJ …. With winter coming in most of the country, a different indoor activity will be entertaining and fun. Of course, by our ages, probably everyone has ( or had ) poker nights, online play etc. , I hope this approach is kinda new / fun for OGs ….. and ( like me ) many guys here are mobility impaired ( semi wheelchair bound ) and can’t easily get to a casino, and many / most might not want to spend the $$$ at a casino. This post emulates real casino fun , nearly free, at home.

It’s all good , brother.

John always makes me smile.

What’s a D8 gummy?

I played alot of various poker games starting with my high school buddies. This was before Texas Holdem killed all the other games off. Lol. I found an app called Holdem or Foldem and play Texas Holdem most every night. Not real money though. And because of that players get quite spendy. But also because its not real money, i can experiment with the way I play.

Takes the mind off things very well. At least for a little while.

Marijuana is illegal federally, but cannabinoid’s made from hemp are not illegal on the federal level. Some states have enacted rules on hemp cannabinoid, but basically it’s legal nation wide on the states level too. Check where you live. Here in central California, they are available OTC all over town in cbd stores mainly, many gas stations and CVS drug stores sell some delta products OTC. Check locally. Myself and several others on the group buy from Moonwlkr.com. You can Google it, be careful name wise , several sites are closely named ( prolly on purpose to rip people off )

Some of the important cannabinoid’s have been isolated from hemp thc. Some major ones are : delta 8, delta 9 ( basically hemp marijuana . The hemp deltas and cannabinoid are very similar to a marijuana stone.

Products

Delta-8 …. Intense laugh factory and good pain killer but heavy stone while pain kill’in ( careful with laughing too hard / much and having trouble catching your breath.

Delta-9 the basic cannabinoid in marijuana ….same o same o

HHC hexahydrocannabinol , is one of the best pain relievers but Carries a hefty stone when it’s peaking. Left over stone / old high typical next day.

The hammer says the delta8-delta9-thcV combo product or the delta8-delta- delta9-thcP ( pain ) are excellent at rendering lower back pain gone.

There are many cannabinoid products available on moonwlkr , you can Google those. Moonwlkr gummies are infused with excellent powerful marijuana flavor turpines, which adds a lot to the expedience too.

IMHO , I see these gummies as a gift from on high. They are massively more powerful than Xanax and ,, being able to eat differently varieties adds to the surprisingly powerful pain management they provide.

Disclaimers: “ always “ discuss your med intake with your cancer care team. Your oncologist and / or pcp. I strongly suggest eating a quarter gummie, then half etc. this to make sure you enjoy the gummie rather than have it be too much.

I’m sure many places are available to buy delta8 hemp products. We know that the place mentioned is reliable , as several as several guys here have bought from there now.

Note: in my photo you will see ashwagandha gummies , nearly instantly they can cause you to experience the best - nicest day, that you’ve had in years of adt. DO NOT eat the ashwagandha gummies ( wonderful as they are ) because they increase your testosterone by a factor of 5. This will feed your cancer … don’t use this ( no matter how wonderful it is ) until you’ve had a strong talk with your oncologist or pcp .

Just imho

So these are different than the indica pot gummies i get at the dispensary here in Az?

Kaliber profile image
Kaliber in reply to groundhogy

yes the dispensary bud is different. There are around 101 different canabinoids in some fresh cured top drawer buds ( or marijuana gummies ) most have little to no noticeable effect on you. This is technically from hemp, which is a different species of marijuana plant. Delta 8 , for example. Is the “ laugh attack “ cannabinoid extracted from marijuana. ( hemp ) that makes everyone laugh. And “ so on “ with all the other deltas advertised.

This product is way less expensive than top drawer white widow, for example and you get the “ concentrated “ effect of eating them this way. It’s definitely impressive. Perfect for sleep, mood lift , pain mgt and entertaining as well yayayay yayay . I haven’t seen anyone that didn’t like them yet … but some have been ( pleasantly ) surprised at how strong they are. With these you can dial mild to omg very easily.

hmm very interesting.

Maybe i shall try these. I have been trying indica type gummies here and there as a sleep aid.

Kaliber profile image
Kaliber in reply to groundhogy

Deltas extractions aren’t sativa or indica ….they the active akaloids found in both . They all are sleep inducing, just like whole bud. The hammer says the delta8-delta9-thcV product is most sleep inducing to her. It also has a powerful high. Some say this is the good akaloids from marijuana without all the other unwanted ones.

Our gang played 3 card poker iirc. Straights and flushes don’t count right?

Then i remember one game where we would put one card on our forehead facing out. You could see everyones hand but your own. Lol. We had some nutty games.

Kaliber profile image
Kaliber

I can’t imagine playing without straights and flushes since those are the best hands you are likely to be dealt. For me, It’d be kinda tedious and slow without them. I’ve seen people play the card on your forehead game, I only play with one other person I’ve been married to for 46 years … we both think alike like parallel robots yayahahahaya dunno how that would work out.

I’ve played many 1000s of hands of three card in places like the Atlantis in Reno and the Luxor over decades. I’ve never had or even seen ( one of the top two hands of ) dual straight flushes player - dealer at the same time while playing 6-card bonus. That’s 200/1 player plus 200/1 dealer ….maybe 40000/1 likelihood of hitting. It’s the 2nd highest hand/s possible with a royal version which is 1000/1 ( 100,000 compounded ) Anyway, I did hit the hand here at the house a couple of days ago … I think the payout was $2400 .for a single hand. The hand of a lifetime and I hit it before I croaked …..pretty kewl. I still have about $2100 of it left for now.

We sit for 7-9 hours on the 3 card table playing for club points usually. We never expect to take money home …. We are playing for points after all. ( casinos comp you for the time on the casino floor plus how many $100s you bust , not how much you spend ). This is the gamblers trick that no one speaks about much. We budget ourselves to $600 each a night. We can go to the Atlantis , stay in a free whale suite , free room service, dine free in the upscale whales lounge, get our 25th floor whale tower rooms free and get special gifts etc. all free without charge… all on our casino comp points. The luxury rooms , food, room service, gifts etc all generally worth $6000-$8000 or more for 4 days at a luxury resort … all for a discount $2400 or ( usually ) less as we commonly have some winnings too. Part of that luxury comp is due to the fact I play a dollar chip for the dealer every hand. Some dealers take $150 or more white chip tip and dealers are changed every 20 minutes. Pit bosses take notice and “ tag “ your club card as a “ desirable “ player, making the comps flow. We love playing and love living like a whale. Playing for points allows us that lifestyle.
