By placing the poker talisman on top of the playing cards, the player can ensure that the cards are not shown accidentally or flipped in violation of the rules (dealers are also wrong). After all, according to the unspoken law of poker, if there is a poker keeper on your cards, no one except you has the right to touch them, and only after you have removed the talisman, the dealer can take your cards .Card guards come in a variety of sizes and shapes, most are flat and round (like
chips) or rectangular plates, and there are also molded clay figures or cast metal figures.
