What To Use As A Poker Card Protectors– Even Half Nuts

Poker Players lots of things to cover their   poker card hand.   Some players don’t use a card guard , but that’s risky.  An accidentally mucked hand sucks.  If you’d like  to see a dramatic bad example, just  watch this poker card protector video . It’s a sick sad video.  You can even use  a poker chip off your chip stack, but it’s a good idea to put something on your cards.

At games everywhere, and on TV, you’ll see a wide variety of objects used as a poker card protector.  Most people want one that’s personal to them, or just something unusual or unique.  I ended up with an unusual one.  I found a half of a really large walnut shell.  It was a perfect half nut, hollow and dried out.  Somehow the term “Half Nutz” came to mind.  It seemed not only to fit in with poker somehow, having the nutz… or at least half the nutz , and my occasional state of mind.  It was lightweight so I filled it with BB’s and super glue and let it dry out.  Then I painted it and  gave it a metallic look.   I’ve had several comments on it while playing… you can just imagine.  I have a couple other card protectors I’ve purchased so I don’t use it all the time , but I kind of favor it.

If you don’t have some articles or objects to use as a poker card protector, there are all kinds of card guards and protectors available from online poker shops.  There are metal and pewter , odd shapes, spinners, and even .999 fine solid sterling silver protectors that you can customize with engraved images and text.  These are very personal and classy looking card covers.   You have lots of choices available with a wide variety of sizes, colors, shapes, comments and sayings, NFL Team  Logo’s,  spinners, and poker face characters.   There are a lot of choices and they start at about $7 or so and go up from there. 

Whether you find something you like, make your own card protector or get a couple you like from the PokerUpShop online store, you should protect yourself from poker tragedies .  Anyone who lets that happen to their cards would have to be a bit more than just Half Nutz.
