Casino Chip of the Day
I can only imagine Doc's reaction to your photos and attempting to update the directory. I hope he's doing OK.
Quote: PokerGrinderA big problem I find is that the site doesn’t like my pics from imgur anymore and half the time when I use the sites pic hosting abilities the pics are turned on their side.

I find it helpful to run my photos through a resizing utility which strips EXIF, ensmallenates* the image to something sensible, and re-encodes in a natural orientation.
WoV software is very much not an "imageboard", so image handling is an accessorial function, rather than intrinsic.
I think that imgur doesn't like hosting images for other websites anymore, and that may be part of the challenge.
Enjoy the day!

Ya I mean this thread hasn’t been a the chip of the day thread in years.
As far as Doc unfortunately I think he may have passed away. I say that with no knowledge but he had been having health problems for years, that mixed with disappearing suddenly and his age make me wonder.
Quote: PokerGrinderLol I think it’s been about 5 years and 30+ countries since I’ve written one of those. Maybe I’ll throw something together when I get back to Canada in April.

Yeah, I was wondering where those trip reports went.
Thought you found a casino without APs and decided to just go there.
Quote: PokerGrinderbut other cities in Kenya have casinos. I think there are 5-8 more casinos in Kenya.

No, we only went to casinos in Nairobi. Mombasa was too far away.

Too bad but understandable. For what it’s worth, I would seriously suggest you starting a YouTube channel along the same lines as your trip reports. You could make some serious money. It’s a great mix: poker plus travel off the beaten path. Sort of an Anthony Bourdain style but gambling instead of food.
Quote: PokerGrinderThere is no money in that type of thing anymore sadly. Wayyyy too many people are trying to do it.

Lots of people doing poker trip report youtube videos from casinos in 3rd world countries?
I used to average 2000 hours a year playing poker, over the last 6 years I’ve played less than 1500 hours combined.
Quote: PokerGrinderLol well maybe not exactly. Also I haven’t played poker much over the last 6+ years as I moved into full time AP and when it comes to AP those aren’t things I want to discuss openly on a YouTube channel.

I used to play poker for fun around Obama times, mainly 2/2 plo (4 card). I made $10-15/hr on weekends.
Not enough bad players weekdays.
Then people started playing 5 card plo at my casino. I tried it but didn't feel like spending the energy to learn strategy since I also discovered AP.
Then it was only 5 card plo because that's what most players wanted. I last played poker pre COVID.
I don't find AP in 3rd world foreign currencies worth it. The exchange fees back to usd kills your profit.
I also usually don't spend that much cash. (Less than $100)
I credit card whenever I can.
