Top 10 Poker Player Look-alikes, Part 1
Is there a reason why so many poker players look like actors? Or cartoon characters? Or athletes? Or Muppets?
We've enjoyed the posts in various poker forums that considered this important discussion: who are the poker players who may have been separated from birth from other famous people?
We thought it best to collect some of our favorites and add in some ones you probably never thought of. So, here goes.... (Be sure to see Part 2.)

Top 10 Lamest Poker Products
As a poker player, you know that it is not just about finding the best poker bonuses or best tournaments online. There is much more to the poker world beyond poker rules, poker strategy, and freerolls.
There are groups of poker products that claim to help improve your play by giving you some degree of an edge. I'm not talking about poker training sites or something that actually adds value.
(With the Holiday Season over, you're probably upset that you didn't get the poker gift you had really wanted. Sure, transfers to your poker room account are always appreciated but it's not like your girlfriend or Mom will be doing that.)
I'm talking about the silly, the random, the insane poker products. The lame ones that make you ask: Who thought of this? Who approved it? Why was this idea not stopped before they actually made that thing? Here are some of my favorites:
For those of you who may find the keyboard too challenging when playing poker, there is a product for you.
They call it the Pokermouse. This device will no doubt increase your profitability and comfort while playing online poker. It claims to "liberate" you from your keyboard. But it may not "liberate" you from the teasing and mockery from your friends. Or your pets.
Keeping with this theme, why not get a little something for the Vegas stripper in your life? These high heels have all you need except the cards. I don't want to know where they are.
Sexy Poker
This Wii game provides a way to improve your poker game by allowing you to test your various poker strategies against an anime girl. (I'm pretty sure this is how Phil Ivey honed his poker skills.) I guess we can be grateful that they chose a scantily glad girl and not say... Doyle Bronson. I'm not saying that Doyle would not provide the same amount of titillation, just in a different way. For all you horny teenagers who get off on this stuff, have at it. And remember, if your hands or wrist gets tired, you could always use the Pokermouse.
