excellent choice

Re: What X\'mas gift to buy poker players?
 

Personally, I would like about 100,000 dollars. That's my favorite poker gift. 10K if you can't afford more would be OK.

I use my IPOD when I'm playing online or B&M. The new IPOD or even the Nano would be really cool for Christmas.

New sunglasses

A trip and a tourney buy-in to a pokerroom he doesn't know (it feels really good to have your personal pom-pom girl while playing)

if some chick got me poker stuff as a gift, it would be really lame and not a good choice at all.

My GF did get me a poker item as a gift last year.
I was DEFINITELY really lame.
But it was still an outstanding choice.


She was shopping at the mall and walked past a shirt that said POKER KING in relatively large letters.
Just lame enough that it was pretty funny.


Other than semi-funny things like that i'm not terribly interested in poker-related gifts.


Only if it's the worst and lamest poker shirt or hat would I actually kind of enjoy it.


Also - I'm looking at the Greg Raymer bobble-head doll that came in my PokerStars WSOP package.
That's silly enough to qualify as a decent gift too.

Re: What X\'mas gift to buy poker players?
 

Oh yeah...there was a thread a few months back some guy wrote.

It was their 10th wedding anniversay I think...she got him a few poker-books which he thought was really odd since they didn't have anything to with THEM...just HIM.

Inside one of the books was airfare for 2 to Las Vegas....and maybe it was inside that there was an entry to a $1500 event at the WSOP (his first time to Vegas AND to the World Series of Poker I believe).

Something like that I think.


It might have been USMfan who had this ultra-cool gift from the wifey.



Too early to buy a WSOP entry.
But a trip for 2 to Vegas (or Atlantic City...or whatever) doesn't have to be THAT ultra-expensive and could be a decent idea worth considering.

That is excellent!

How many times have you worn that shirt in public? Be honest......FWIW -- I would wear it every time I planned to donk it up at the 2/4 tables.......

your funny...

Re: What X\'mas gift to buy poker players?
 

From what I have seen in the last five years, the average poker player should be given a copy of Resumes For Dummies and a free semester at Cross Bronx Expressway Junior College.

Oops, sorry. I mean a LOT of money, and a pat on the back for finally "figuring out poker."

That's what I wish all of the poker players all over the world would get.
