I've started using a card protector.

It was probably decades overdue, but in late March I was sitting right next to the dealer in seat 9. I'd looked at the cards when they were dealt to me and left them on the table while I was waiting for it to be my turn to play. It got around to me and before I could make a move the dealer snatched my cards and slid them into the muck. I made myself a card protector to prevent that from happening again by putting a casino chip into one of those holders used by coin collectors for silver dollars.

I didn’t even know what a card protector was, just learned it from this post. Probably because I play online, I never looked into live stuff.

Believe it or not I have one. I think that I won it for one of the old Individual Leagues that I played in. I loved those leagues because I could fit them into my schedule much easier than the other leagues you offer. I'll have to look for it because it would definitely be a good conversation starter, and maybe attract some new members around here. :)

I don't blame you. That is pretty much what happened to me. :(

I remember a long time ago everyone had some kind of card protector which I thought was fun! Now hardly anyone has one. I always use one of my chips or just keep my hands on them (not blocking anyone’s view). That nine spot is really easy for the dealer to grab those cards, I used to deal and it’s difficult in that spot. It would be fun if everyone went back the old school way and have protectors again, but mostly everyone is so serious even at low stakes now lol
