I used the hot wheels car once and would do a victory lap around EVERY pot I won.

God I'm annoying...
But I had some players playing like crap against me after awhile.

This idea is so good that it is worthy of you name. Do you make the appropriate race-car noises as you are taking your lap?

I use a small windup Yoda, that was offered from I think Taco Bell. Not only does little Yoda serve as a card protector, but once you wind him up, he does two back flips, which also mucks my cards if positioned correctly.

I use an antique hand engraved mother of pearl chip from Monte Carlo.

It says "1000" on it, and almost every tournament, some comedian says "Hey, does that play? Har har."

I use a preserved finger which I cut off from a guy who tried to touch my cards one time.

Speaking of card protectors, I got this gold card protector at Ceasar's Palace that the floor guy put into the first scooped pot. I made kings full or something. Anyway, someone said they give these out to winners of big tournaments at CP. Does anyone know if they're worth anything?

I use one of those silver $1 coins from the Rio. Heavier than chips, and not too wacky.

I use a 1922 silver dollar that was given to me by my grandfather when I was a kid and I have always carried it in my pocket. I like it because it's heavy unlike most poker chips. If I just use a chip as a protector, I have a habit of unknowingly always pulling that chip off and using it when I call or raise. Not sure why but it happens every single time. I look down and the chip is gone and I realize I pulled it off and put it in the pot. Sounds dumb but I've done it so many times I just make sure I use my silver dollar.

I'm playing low limit poker and I could care less what anyone else thinks. If you think it's dumb, that's ok. I didn't call you and ask if you liked the color of my shirt before I put it on this morning either.lol I like something small and heavy like a coin, so that's what I use.

I use a bicentennial half-dollar, when I remember to bring it. Otherwise, a chip is fine.
