Same Old, Different Week

Another week at the virtual grind. (Or is that the real grind on the virtual felt?) I put a new wrinkle in my routine, reserving one day each week just for tournaments. I'm pleased to say I finished 3rd in a Razz MTT and 2nd in a NLHE MTT. Those tourneys do tend to take a lot out of you. But I guess it beats getting hammered at the cash table by O8 lemurs.

Review Me is sending more business my way. They've sponsored me once again - this time to review Card Supply.com's Texas Hold 'em Tables. I'm kind of surprised I was asked to review an E-commerce site, but 'tis the season for shopping!

The first thing you notice when you arrive at Texas Hold 'Em Tables... Is that they have a LOT of tables. Oodles of tables. I would venture to say that they offer every kind of Hold 'Em Table I've ever seen, with just one exception - The new electronic Hold 'Em Tables.

One neat feature is that they offer several poker tables with an option of a customized logo. Maybe some day when I start the Buffalo Hold 'Em Classic I'll spring for a few. Besides poker tables, they offer other types of gaming tables. Roulette table, anyone? Maybe you prefer a blackjack table. Perfect for the person starting their own casino (or casino school).

There are also multi-use tables (with a poker function), and board game tables (most with a chess function). And don't forget the poker table toppers for your existing table!

But wait, there's more... Cards and chips abound. Several styles of heavy chips are available, along with chip cases, racks, and complete sets. A few styles of cards, mostly plastic, are available in quantity. Sorry, no KEM brand cards.

Finally, There's a few novelty items available. Dealer buttons, electronic tournaments timers, and strong boxes round out the list. If you're lucky, maybe a clearance item or two will show up.

In all honesty, I cannot say how competitive Cardroom Supply.com's prices are, mostly because I'm not currently in the market for any of their offerings. I would think that a quick froogle search would bear out the results. It appears they offer quality items, but I would shop around to make sure you're getting the best price.

Football Lock of the Week: Since it's the only game left on the schedule, I'm taking Bears (-6) @ Rams. Even with the Chicago DT injury, St. Louis has let me down too many times already this year. [2006 Record 16-12-1]
