playing texas hold em at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last year, and noticed they used "all in/call" cards to help players to see the action to them.
they were similar to cut cards, but one side was white with red ALL IN lettering, the reverse side was red with white CALL lettering. and do you think i could find any of those cards anywhere online? hell no!
if anyone knows where to get these things, please let me know.
You could probably make your own. Just a thought....print some off take 'em to kinko's and get 'em laminated.

it was so funny watching this drunk guy at the table i was at...it was 4am and every time he went all-in, he said "give me the all-in card, and i'll tip ya" so i'm not sure if they only use them for tourneys or not, but he got a kick out of having the cards in play.
When I played there two weeks ago the music from the club was so loud you couldn't hear the person next to you, let alone from the other end of the table. I'm sure they came up with these cards to combat that. You could probably get someone to do custom plaques as an (albeit expensive)alternative to cards. Personally, without a dedicated dealer to place it, I think these would be more trouble than they're worth for home games.
they'd be useful in a casino's tournament, that's why i'd like to find them and suggest to my department managers about using them. seems like i'm the only one i know or work with who's seen these things.
