Thanks to the Texas Hold’em Travel Set, the best poker room in the area can be wherever a poker player happens to be sitting at the time. Speaking from the perspective of someone who travels a bit, this little Texas Hold’em set is an absolute winner. When most people hear the words “pickup game” they generally think of basketball or some other sport that involves a ball and profuse sweating. What a lot of people don’t seem to know is that spontaneous games of Omaha poker or holdem can happen anywhere. Considering the popularity of poker on television and the internet, you can barely swing a ferret by the tail without hitting one or two other poker players. With this travel kit, just about any surface in a hotel, bar, or cubicle can become a poker table.
The good news for the world’s bovine population is that the case is made of faux leather. This would explain the tiny price tag of $7.99 for this holdem, travel kit. The case measures 4-1/4'' x 5-1/4'' x 1-1/2'' and contains a deck of cards and twenty playing chips of various denominations. With a chip count that small, this kit is made for heads up encounters. There is no way to have a full game of Omaha Poker, draw, or stud with this product. Keep that little drawback in mind when you purchase it. That small negative notwithstanding, this product has been extremely helpful when it comes to winning side money in a pickup game of poker at a hotel or bar, and has provided hours of entertainment. In my particular case, this has helped turn a long layover at an uncomfortable airport into a poker table at the best poker room in the region. At the very least it has kept me from committing a hate crime against the people at Northwest Airlines.
