Best card protector.

I was talking to some friends who play alot of live games and we started talking about card protectors. We saw some that are casino chips. The big metal coins that have poker cards on them etc. I used a little knight that I have painted.

We started asking
#1 What was the coolest one you have seen?

#2 What would be the most annoying thing?

my answers
#1 Someone pressed in a nut inside a nut inside a nut. Therefore, he had the nuts. LOL
#2 A magic 8 ball, that he would use in certain situations to make his decisions.

I took the Star Wars Obi-won Burger King toy that is like a cheesy 8 ball. It says, "use the force", "search your feelings", "I agree" etc. and people laughed and we came up that it would be funny to make one so I am in the process of seeing if I can make one. The six sides would have fold, fold, bluff, call, raise, all-in. Anyone know where I could get started besides ripping one apart and getting blue dye all over my hands and trying to glue it back together?

My daughter made a snowglobe out of a baby food jar filled with water. You could probably do the same thing in this case. Add blue or purple food coloring and view the floating dice thingy through the clear bottom of the jar. Just make sure to glue the lid on really tight because my daughter didn't and hers leaks.

Don't fill it with water, oil works a lot better.

But if food coloring is water based, wont it seperate from the oil>

Heres a link for disecting an 8 ball, sounds like a lot of work though lol

I think the best one going around is casper, held by Doyle Brunson. What I would do to get my hands on that. lol

I saw where casper is actually in Doyles will and is to be left to Howard Lederer (sp?). My favorite is a silver coin but it keeps sliding off the computer screen .

I have a frog humping a stump given to me by a fellow lady poker player. It has embarrassed several of the young men at our table when we get on a roll. TONS of fun!

Rockbuster has a cow that some of his friends refer to as a six-peckered billy-goat..... if you ever get to see it you can judge for yourself.......

Card protectors are a wonderful way to personalize your game for sure!

I actually just use a very old chip passed down to me.

I also sometimes see Doyle selling casper by the hour. lol

I actually liked the one used by "Andrew Black" at the final table of the WSOP 2005 . Hard to describe but it looked like a miniture staff with a crystal ball on the top. I will try to attach a pic of it but it is not that clear.

Lederer DOES have the rights to Casper in Doyles' will, (if he has put that little clause in yet ) It was brought up by Lederer that he would be honored and forever grateful if he could be the one to carry on both Casper's and Doyle's name and memory after doyle's passing. It was agreed he would get casper for the sum of 2400 dollars (I think) if memory serves me right. ALSO TRUE, Doyle does rent out Casper by the hour, For a price...
