It's all well and good playing a friendly game of Gin Rummy with your friends for coppers but there comes a time in a man's life when he needs to get serious about his cards.

Our Professional Texas Hold ﾑem Poker Set is a sure-fire route to upping the ante when it comes to card games, with a high quality set of professional playing cards, 200 pro weight chips with their own rack and a slick felt playing surface on which to fleece your friends.

Now you can make every visitor a potential ﾑmark' by coercing them into an impromptu game of poker. The beauty of Texas Hold ﾑem Poker is that there are some subtle differences to regular poker that the average amateur won't know about, so be sure to spend several hours familiarising yourself with the rules and regulations before giving your opponents a quick 30-second perusal and taking them for everything they've got.

It's a little slice of Vegas for your living room and you might want to employ that gloriously simple route to emptying punters pockets by offering them drinks only as long as they continue to play.

Water down a bottle of wine and you'll end up making a tidy profit. Not that we'd suggest actually doing that, of course.
