We are especially intrigued by the little stack container they come in. That looks just right to hold your shot glasses on the way to your poker event, and just right to hold your wad o' cash on the way home.
And if your friends run out of money while you play, no worries, you can switch to Beer Poker:
Playing Beer Poker - Shot Ante Drinking Game
It's really easy, and you can do it with just a few people. All you need is a deck of cards and any kind of alcohol. (Base the alcohol choice on how long you want to play before passing out). For this example, just to make it easy, we'll say there are 4 players and we're playing regular five card poker. Get up to the point where you would be betting. At that point, you have to bet by shots. So player #1 raises it one shot, and player #2 matches. If no one else goes in, they (players 3 and 4) have to drink one shot each. Now if player #1 or #2 raises it, they will have to drink that much if they lose. The winning hand sits out of drinking that time around and they are the dealer the next round, and they can set up a new game (7 card or whatever). Usually works well.

We came across these poker cufflinks today while browsing Amazon. We think they look rather snazzy. There is nothing quite like dressing up for a trip to the casino. The way we see it, you may as well look like a million bucks when you try to earn 'em.
Part of being a good dealer (or player), is looking the part. We don't really konw why poker visors became the thing to wear, perhaps its to help hide your face when you want, or perhaps its just to absorb some of the sweat you will have pouring from your forehead when you flop trip aces. Whatever the reason, you can make a fashion statement with a nice dealer visor. Check this one out at Amazon, and its clear-green-cousin also!
A clever Improv group decided to setup poker in Caesar's Palace... in their pool.
Some think its a joke, we think its the next new innovation in poker!
Feeling a little blue this morning?
Why not cheer yourself up with a little poker humor?
Little Tommy was the quietest boy in school. He never answered any questions but his homework was always quite excellent. If any one said anything to him he would simply nod, or shake his head. The staff thought he was shy and decided to do something to give him confidence.
"Tommy," said his teacher. "I've just bet Miss Smith $5 I can get you to say three words. You can have half."
Tommy looked at her pityingly and said, "You lose."
