What did everyone get?

The wife was good to me this year (everything but the ASMs):

No good poker stuff for me this year

My poker themed gifts included 2 poker related desk calendars and 12 Dice chip style rubber coasters.

I got some of those. I also got a Kowboys T-shirt and a pc.com case to hold my Dunes chips, so I did pretty well.

I said it before I will say it again, Harrington on Hold Em is the greatest poker book ever written. Congrats and enjoy.

Everyone knows better than to buy us actual "gear" since ours is better than most people already use.

But we did get our share of "poker" (mostly the card suits) stuff like coasters, glasses, serving dishes, t-shirts etc.

The best one was for my wife who is the "Tilt Queen" at the table...

Our friends got her a Nevada license plate (fake, but real metal) that reads:

H82LOSE

And I got her a t-shirt that says,

"It's not whether you win or lose,
It's whether I win or lose."

Good thing she is a good sport OFF the table.

I got HOH2, Holdem for advanced players, a new backgammon setup(not really poker but kinda related), and a 5 card draw hand held game

I got 100 more Pharaoh's chips to fill in my set, plus a traveling 300 case - all with great service from Holdempokerchips.com. (But now my wife knows my secret source!)

Also was taking my son shopping at the bookstore for his presents to relatives, and picked up HOH-2 for myself.

This year I thankfully didn't get anything. Well, except for my uncle, who got me 4 decks of Bicycles. CVS here I come.

After seeing the debacle that was my Monday tournament (7 players on a 2' by 4' kitchen table) my GF got me an octagonal WSOP table topper (review comming soon). I also took the time (and Christmas bonus) and ordered up a 500 piece set of Faux Clays to replace my dice chips. The next home game is going to kick a$$.

Santa brought me Phil Gordon's "Little Green Book", some Modiano 4 pip cards, and those chocolate foil chips.
