Re: I've heard of it - never found a chip from

A long time local poker player who played in dozens of these old San Diego and East County card rooms back in the 70s and 80’s told me several years ago that he remembered playing with California Club or Commanche Club chips at other local cardrooms back in the 70s and 80s and that many of the rooms had common ownership and it wasn’t that unusual to win large pots that contained a few chips from other local card rooms.

A real shame of the Pandemic is many of these old timer local players disappeared when they closed a majority of the local poker rooms.

5 years ago we had about a dozen running poker rooms in the county, today we have less than half of that..
