Card protectors

[urko888_]

when I see card protectors I immediately see a player who at least thinks they know what they are doing; which to me is a great tip off.

It is like wearing a t-shirt that says, "i play B&M poker regularly", or "I play X hours of online poker a week".

Not really sure why you would want to advertise or celebrate that.

Just my opinion tho'.

Exactly. That's the reason I just keep my fingers on the edges of cards. Maybe I'll change my mind when my pair of aces gets accidentally mucked, but so far I've never lost a hand to a dealer's mistake.

A chip, a 1949S half dollar, or one of these:



or, just my hand.

My card protector is a Marvin the Martian, like my avatar.

The first time I ever played live poker, I had a card cover. I had never played online, never played live. I had no idea what I was doing at the table, but I had a card cover.

I used to have a fake 1 million dollar chip I got at the Gambler's General store in Vegas, but it wore out and I haven't found anything to replace it yet.

This seems a little off my friend.

First off, often people that play mostly online aren't very comfortable in live poker. There was a part in that HSP show where Aba was counting out cheques like a 1-2NL player might.(No offense Aba, I'm just saying) Also, just because you play live poker a lot, that doesn't mean anything. In fact, that usually means you suck. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In my experience, having a "special" card protector, I'm more inclined to think you suck. What winning player would spend money on poker gear?

Actually, scratch everything I said. Having a special card protector is EXACTLY like walking in to a card room wearing a poker shirt.


serious business right there.

Anyways, as for what I use. I use a black chip. It's baller, it's actually a chip so it's not like it costs me anything, and the dealers usually think they're going to get it if I win the hand so they know to set the deck up so everyone misses their draws. Been working with pretty good results.
