Chip Stacking 101 with CzechRaiseCharles

Stacking poker chips in uniform towers of 20 with the higher denominations clearly visible to opponents may be the standard, but that standard will be forever boring once you take a look at the chip stacking creativity of CzechRaiseCharles in a recent YouTube video.

Charles Michna may not be adhering to the Poker Tournament Directors Association guideline that calls for allowing other players the ability to make a "reasonable estimation" of your chip stack, but no matter. These outrageous stacks are things of beauty and are a must see for players of all skill levels.

From Legos to Poker Chips

Even better is that CzechRaiseCharles gives a brief tutorial on how to build poker chip towers of your own, passing on secrets and skills honed from a youth spent playing with Legos. That youth was not misspent, as Michna clearly developed expertise at creating structures that are a marvel to behold.

CzechRaiseCharles stated:

"There's a lot of different things you can make once you get the basic concept down."

Name Your Towers

Totally cool are stacks that have a small foundation and then get wider as they creep upwards toward the sky. Or the "Rocketship" that comes complete with a spiral and walkways and a swirl design on top that was difficult to keep from toppling over.

The Aria Casino was the venue that found Charles and his pal Kendall building the "Pagoda" and "Android Man." Another incredible chip tower was constructed at Lucky Chances Casino, with Charles choosing that structure as the one for viewers to recreate in his Chip Stacking 101 tutorial.

Maiden Drone Flying Voyage

Overshadowed by his chip stack castles was the beginning of Charles' vlog in which he and some buddies went up on a rooftop and flew a drone over San Francisco. Michna's first drone flying experience looked to be a success as viewers saw a wonderful birds-eye view of the City by the Bay.

It's likely that CzechRaiseCharles' first attempt at creating poker chip towers wasn't nearly as successful, but he has since mastered the art.
