Someone should go to the Zoo and ask about card protectors for the internet. Preferably someone with very few posts. [/ QUOTE ] What is "the Zoo?" I've read the term before, but don't know exactly what it means. Is it the beginners forum, or the micro limit forum, or what? |

I have a yellow 1 Million dollar chip that I bought for 45 cents at the Gamblers General Store in Vegas. I've gotten used to people asking me if I can cash it in.

Re: Card Protectors -- No content
I HATE card covers so "N/A"
But that's probably because of crap like: In my local casino's $50 buy-in tournament, the table was folding pretty quickly in the first level. Even still, a player insisted on first covering his cards with a chip even if it was his action and was folding anyway. He wasn't even doing the "pause thing" every hand. I can see not wanting to give a tell by not showing interest in a hand before it's your action, but he'd look at his cards as they were dealt, know he was folding and sometimes NOT HAVE TIME to cover them with his stupid protector and yet still would. |

A friend of mine uses the poker playing smurf PVC figure and has purchased dozens of them on ebay.
I rotate between a Brian Leetch (Rangers Jersey) Russian Nesting Doll (3 covers in one) and a Marvin the Martian figure. My fiance uses a number of different Smurfettes. |

Re: Card Protectors -- No content
I used to use the Grim Fandango character seen in my avatar. Unfortunately, he has been retired due to one of his interior elastic bands breaking.
I was clearing some junk out of my apartment yesterday and found an R2D2 I got at Pizza Hut when they rereleased Star Wars Epsiodes 4-6 a few years back. Its the right size for a card protector and, when you push R2's head, he makes beeping sounds as in the movies. Since the more recent episodes 1-3 were so (overall) crappy, I can't decide if using the R2D2 would be cool or lame-- opinions? |

R2 was cool, even if the movies sucked.

But if I'm 2nd or later to act, I consider it my responsibility to do my level best not to give away my intentions before it's my action. So I try to do the same thing every time, and that includes protecting my cards until I act. -Mike |
