Title: Poker Present
Post by: DaveShoelace on April 25, 2007, 02:44:53 PM
How do

Im going to buy a present for the friend of mine who taught me to play poker. Ever since he told me why  Jd 4d wasnt a good starting hand I have been a winning player, and have been able to leave my office job to write and play poker full time.

So I want to thank him by buying him some sort of poker present. I was thinking about maybe buying him into the sunday million or something. He already has poker chips, so any ideas guys?

My budget is about 200quid

I held  8d Js, folded to raise reraise (AA KK), board came  8c 8h Jh Jd Jc, ever since then been mighty hard to lay down J8 preflop. Everyone has their good crap starting hand.

how about a card protector that would be personal to them  eg
a small gold lizard  or a semi precious stone type of thing.?

it has that personal touch,so much more than a hard $$$ value of a buy in .

I doubt the small gold lizard would be that personal unless he was tony bloom ;)

Seen a guy once whose card protector was a holographic picture on gold of his wifw & kids, thought it was well cool.
