| | | 20% off select poker items at Circuit City 6/19-6/26
Circuit City is having a sale on their overpriced, cheap, crappy poker items if anyone is interested. There are some WSOP stuff like cards, chips, tabletop, etc. but they are branded by Excalibur and the chips are the 11.5g metal insert chips. Nothing very hot but I thought this might help someone find a gift or starter for a future fish at your home game? 
It is a web only sale, but you can select in-store pick up to avoid shipping costs. Purchases over $25 qualify for free shipping. http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/categ...9674&WT.mc_t=U |

| | I didn't even know, or even suspect, that Circuit City sold poker items. Wow.

| | | This shows you far the poker craze has expanded, when even Circuit City (not one of the better merchants in this country) stocks poker sh*t.
And how we might be approaching the height of the bubble -- and then all kinds of stuff is going to be on clearance sale. You can see it on eBay already -- there is so much oversupply out there. |

| | I especially love this item: Excalibur World Series of Poker Premium Wooden Dealer Shoe
YeeeEEEAAAH! Let's play 4-deck Hold 'em! What. The. F|_|¢|<.
Actually, some newbies I hosted last week asked me (sincerely) whether poker is always played with only one deck. I explained to them that it has to be, otherwise the hands and rankings don't make any sense anymore.
But I wouldn't be surprised if some home games are going on, as we speak, where they are playing hold 'em with multiple decks, maybe even being dealt from a shoe. Never understimate two things in human beings: greed and stupidity. |

| | R Deckard, what are you talking about? Do you actually mean to tell me you don't deal your tournaments from an eight-deck shoe?

We also use a roulette croupier's rake to push the pot to the winner after each hand. I suppose it's only a matter of time before those things pop up in every nickel and dime store. |

| | Sorry, I stand corrected. Would anyone like to trade an eight-deck shoe for two four-deck shoes?

| | | Man, I can't trust anybody on this forum anymore. Soon you'll be telling me nonsense like "you can't split pocket pairs in hold 'em".
