I use a small nugget of iron pyrite. I acquired 'prospecting' with my family at a road-side attraction in VA.

This is good but would be funnier if it was coming from a Chuck Norris gimmick account.

I used to use a miniature laughing Buddha, but I don't recommend it. He always got rivered. That's what he was laughing about, apparently.

Re: Card Protecters
 

I was using a 1964 Kennedy half dollar but it turned out to have bad mojo: flopped top two running into flopped bottom set, flopped second set losing to a flopped top two when it turned into 2nd boat on the river, A-rag two pair beat by a three outer Q. All of those ended my tourney.

I forgot it once on the way to the Trop (actually left it at friend's home game) so I used a California quarter from my car and went home with $1750 (on $70 buy in) after tipping the dealers. Had another player ask about it and if I was from CA (hah, Philly yo).

All in from BB (M=4) with Q4d and made the river flush on the way to a 4 way final table chop. Hit four Jacks all in later that night. Pulled my own 3 outer on the river all in with it at home game. All in three way with AKo, AKo, and my AKc and hit the flush on the turn. In fact, I have yet to take an actual bad beat with it yet. Using it again Wednesday.

I use a .999 silver doubloon from the centennial rolling of the Krewe of Rex.

I use my thick plastic "what beats what" chart.

5fr chip from SMB Lowes in Monte Carlo or if I'm in a particularly froggy mood, I use a 1000g brick of silver [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So you're saying that someone looks at the coin, sees that it says "$5" on it, and then asks you how much it is worth?

[/ QUOTE ]

Believe it or not, yes they do. They tend to stare at the "B" on the front of the coin, and never flip it over to check the denomination.

Isn't this why poker is soooo good these days? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Card Protecters
 

over your poker career you will be much money ahead if you keep your hand on your cards for lots of reasons.

Re: Card Protecters
 

The best protector I have ever seen is a small little medallion/coin from Gambler's Anonymous. It was an award for 5 successfull years of absitnence from gambling.

Does he go into auto-crybaby mode when losing as a 3:2 favorite?

Any particular reason you use a black dildo?

Interested in your reasons. Do you keep your hands on your cards the whole hand? Or after you decide to play, do you put a chip on them?

Re: Card Protecters
 

A chip from my stack. Any other card protector is retarded.

Re: Card Protecters
 

"A chip from my stack. Any other card protector is retarded."

I agree 100%. I play a lot of daily tournaments in AC. When I see a player sit down with some kind of statute or medallion I immediately put them in the "weak/soon to donate chips" category. I pay attention to confirm my first impression, but I haven't been wrong yet. Good players are concerned about everything else EXCEPT card protectors. Use a chip.

HAH, ty, you have given me a new ebay prize to search for... so far Ive found these , is this what you were talking about? That is the best card protector EVAR

Re: Card Protecters
 

I prefer something that covers the whole of the cards. Just a little extra protection.
