The Cube

by James 2. November 2010 06:00

A little bit of net research revealed this gem of a product. I can’t tell whether this a level or not. I’m thinking we need to get one for the office.
I’m going to dress up as a wizard whilst using this goodness

Some features of The Cube

The Cube is both a dual card protector and hole card viewer

This product was designed for players at every level - from beginners to professional tournament players

ONLY you will be able to see your hole cards

Enjoy your poker game and don't worry about peeping Toms (creepy)

Once you slide one or both of the hole cards inside “The Cube”, a light will come on that enables you to view them

Enjoy The Cube wherever you play poker No physical discomfort such as straining your neck while looking at your cards

Here's a little about The Cube from the official website:

You are about to experience the advantages of The Cube - a completely unique product developed exclusively for poker players. Simply position the viewing window so that it faces towards you and slide your cards into the ramp on the right side.

Once you slide your card(s) inside The Cube, a sensor will turn on LED lights that will illuminate The Cube and enable you to view them.

First Position: the lights will go on for five seconds and automatically turn off by themselves. You can remove and re-insert the cards for another five seconds and repeat this cycle indefinitely. This position will save the battery life.

Second Position: this allows you to have the lights on as long as your hole cards are inside The Cube. Once the cards are slightly withdrawn, the lights will go off.

A gentle adjustment of the pinwheel on the left side of The Cube allows you to fine tune your view. This is designed to accommodate your seating position. In addition, to further enhance your view, after inserting, you may gently press the center of your hole cards with your index finger.

 

Private Poker Party Pilfered

Pilferage'

Carrying on with our blogging theme of private poker parties being robbed, it happened again on Thursday. One poker game ended with no winners when Five hooded suspects with bandannas covering their face robbed a high-stakes poker game early Thursday morning leaving with $15,000 in proceeds, jewellery and electronics.

Police went out to 11 Avalon Gardens Drive after receiving a 911 hangup call at 12:30 a.m., Clarkstown police Sgt. James Fay said.

The homeowner and eight other men who were playing poker told police they were ambushed by five Hispanic males wearing hooded sweatshirts and bandanas, Fay said.

They had surrounded one of the poker players, Fay said, after he had stepped outside for cigarette and forced him at gunpoint to let them into the home.

The robbers stole $15,000 in cash, a large amount of jewelry and some electronic items, Fay said.

This never happens on PokerTime.

97 Year Old Making Bounds in WSOP Main Event

by James 12. July 2010 08:32

 

Jack Ury, the 97 year old geriatric again has been getting ridiculous amounts of TV coverage at the World Series this year as he made it to day 3 of the tournament.

Ury, the oldest ever player to play in the history of the WSOP starting player poker in 1953 but only played his first WSOP Main Event in 2007 at the ripe old age of 94. At the Main Event in 2007, the ESPM cameras fell in love with the old man, and he landed up being one of the stars of the tournament.

One amazing thing about Jack is he has little or no vision in one eyes and the other eye only has around 20% vision. Plus add to the fact that Jack can only hear out of one ear gives him one hell of a disadvantage.

The senior citizen who hails from Indiana needed a tad of assistance during play, and it was great to see the other players help. Opponents helped Jack with his blinds and antes, and his grandson Seth was behind him to help him stack his chips if he won a pot. Players also helped him by announcing raises and letting him know what was on the board.

And plus; I must say, I’ve never seen such an old person wearing a baseball style hat. He looks fantastically cool. I’m going to get my grandfather a hat this week.

Play resumes on Monday with Ury sitting on around 8.200 chips.

Let’s hope he wins.
