Show us your card protector...Chip/Object/Lucky Trinket (2 Viewers)

[mattross1313]

here's my Tangiers card protector. Had this for many years now and take it to all my live games. First time I took it I won the game - but lately I think it's good luck is wearing off, may need to buy a new one!

So the Tangiers chip has been retired. I've tracked down a full sample set of chips so going to clean them up and maybe frame then.

This did however leave a gap in the card protector side of my collection. Whilst building my RHC cash set over the summer I picked up a few nice chips to use as protectors. Some additional very nice surprise chips donated from the awesome @Thisfiendis138 - these are quite the line up now!
They've all been cleaned up and tucked safely into their new airtites.

looks familiar. I think the one I use must be related. Cousins at least

The other night I had my Rosie's Baypu 4 moon spotted non denom

And a AC Ballys snapper that was given to me that evening by my awesome buddy @PhilLaFond ... ran pretty well with it! When I got home it was washed, cleaned, oiled and added to the AC samples!

What is that crest on the tables?

I use the chip in my avatar - the 43mm Dunes Baccarat $20 as a card protector - naked, no air-tight. But I only use a card [protector if I'm in the 1 or the 10 seat, otherwise my chip stays in my pocket.
I played a tournament at Foxwoods a month ago and was saddened to see the 25's were the exact same color as my Dunes chip. Even though I was stuck in the 1 seat, I kept my chip in my pocket and just used a 25 chip. No need to cause confusion.

This is a fun old thread. I love that I still have the same chip for my avatar, 5 years later. I’ve come to protecting my cards pretty much all the time now. But I guess I’m kind of a no fun guy. It honestly doesn’t feel natural for me to have any kind of special chip or trinket at the table with me - kinda feels too much like a good luck charm to me? Anyway, these days I just grab 4-6 chips off the nearest stack and drop them on my cards, to protect them.

Yes. Audrey wants to hang too. But she's quiet.

Yes. Audrey wants to hang too. But she's quiet.

Umm, sure?
Will we need more beer?

Yes. But I have whiskey too. And Bourbon.

Tried a chip mascot for the first time, 2 sessions ago - he only lasted for about 45 minutes or so (was down about 1/2 my original buy in of $200) and then I sent him "back down" into my backpack. Seemed to be the right move, I came back after that.

Tried a card protector for the first time last night (Sigung Bruce Lee coin on the left) . Ran pretty good so I'm attributing my good luck to a combination of that protector and the Houston Astros Nolan Ryan pullover jersey I was wearing (I'm probably jinxing it now but the jersey has been good for 2 sessions so far)...

I got this from the very first tournament I ever won.

I lived in Vegas for about three months from late 2007-early 2008, and got this off of Santa Fe Station in North LV. I’ve used it as a card protector since then, and it’s given me pretty good luck ever since.

Three of the players in my group (including myself) are Marines, and while bouncing around the web looking for a suitable/unique card guard, I cam across a website that sells miniature, metal figurines of military personnel and other historical figures. They were a little pricey and they had to ship from Hong Kong, but I am a gambler by nature so I ordered 5 different Marines with the belief that I would give my two Marine Brothers their own on the upcoming Marine Corps birthday. They arrived today, and they are FANTASTIC. Could not be happier, and my Brothers are in for a treat.

Semper Fi.
